    Fans



    Condenser fans, evaporator fans

    What make are you buying?
    Who to your opinion is a good manufacturer, and why?

    I have had enough with low cost and low quality fans from the far, far east.

    For old prestcold stuff i have been fitting Remco motors lately and not had any problems with them, but to be honest i never had any problems with the Lemac ones i used to use, but the Remco ones look nicer

    For shaded pole motors i've just started using FMI motors which are multi fit and come with a selection of screws/nuts etc to make fitting easier. My local wholesaler says he had least problems with CE Set (spelling?) but has problems getting them now.

    On other stuff i just get original parts or whatever the wholesaler has that fits

    I have very good experience with cheap Rotomatika's
    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

    They used to be elcold i think there called BUT they have been changed for power house and they are fanstatic out of about 100 iv have 1 faulty and it was due to me cracking the white plastic thing the fan blade sits on.

    About £1.00 dearer depending on wattage but 100times better.

    Much longer cords on the and they come in a nice box so there not rolling about ur van

    Sorry, the reason I choose motors (with fans blades included) = becos they blushless type = energy savings.
