Fan aspirated radiation shield
#1

Hi Guys

I think it's time to try out a temperature radiation shield with a fan. I'm going to build it with some white plant pot saucers that I've found.
The TX board has a 9 volt fan output but I'm having trouble finding a 9 volt fan, I can find plenty of 12 volt ones.
What are your thoughts on using a 12 volt fan, will it work OK??

Hi rich27gc,

I'm using 12V fan every time and I'm choosing the fan with a little consuption ... I thing the good choice the fan from PC.
Here is an example of my non-radiation radiation shield:

But there are a lot of examples on the Internet and in this forum and maybe even better ...

Yes, as noted by hornychz, it will work. Indeed the system was designed to work with common 12V fans. Powering them with only 9V makes them working at a lower rotation speed producing almost no noise. Just chose a low consumption fan, less than 80mA its ideal.
