Title: Vendo 81 fan motors
Post by: Marvin on May 27, 2009, 12:19:34 am
Been working on the cooling system for the Coke 81 I am doing.  The original evap motor was a 4 watt.  I happen to have a new motor, but it is 6 watts.  What if any difference will it make?

Also on the condensor, what should the motor direction be?  I can't find the original to look.  I found one I had that is clockwise but it seems to push the air through the condenser instead of pull it.  Maybe I need a different blade?

The wattage won't make much if any difference in the motors performance, but the 6 watt might be a higher RPM , and it  might be a bit louder, & you always want the fan to pull the air through the condensor, (not push) , so you'll have to either find another fanblade, or exchange the motor for one with opposite rotation (as opposed to the one you have now)
