Re: motor cooing fan postion
Sit in front of a room fan then sit behind it. Which position offers more effect?
A shroud can increase efficiency! |

Re: motor cooing fan postion
I use a fan on one of my motors that is a confined space and it blows onto the motor.If I had room for a heatsink I would have used it as I think they do a better job.I don't think that it matters wether a fan blows onto or away as long as it is removing heat.
