I am looking for an odd sized fan. I am trying to find a fan that is considerably larger and heavier duty than typical case fans and powered by AC. I am looking for an overall diameter of somewhere between 6 and 10 inches and reasonable CFM.

I have seen many fans/blowers like this in larger machines and in "short boy" enclosed server racks. I have been searching Google but all I find is a bunch of keyword spamming and nothing of much substance. Ideas?

Thanks!

what cfm are you looking for, 110/220/3 phase 240-480?
What type noise level?

Look at the allied catalog, look at esp the Comair Rotron fans, we use thos for smaller elevator cabs as on all the time ventilation fans.
We also use them for cooling for the DC drive assembly and other equipment with overheat issues.



You could go with a 10 inch super fan from them, over 800 cfm, though for server cooling you would be better with a blower type fan, make it easier to put the air right where you need it, the fan is also availible as a 10 inch 550 cfm 12 volt dc fan.
