Looking for a 60x60x15 fan - Specific requirements

Feek · 21 Feb 2017 at 00:07

I'm looking to replace a couple of fans on an amateur radio transceiver, ideally with the same amount of airflow but quieter.

That's the specs - As long as it's the same size (60x60x15), has the same airflow and is quieter, that's what I'm after. Speed isn't important, it's the airflow and the sound that I care about.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks.

OC doesn't list any 60x60x15 fans,
you'll looking at industrial type supplier Farnell, RS-components as they'll likely to list the specs <---- mod delete if inappropriate
I presume you'll need 2 pin and not std pc 3 pin.

Is probably as close as you will get from a PC conponent manufacturer, think you will need to look at industrial as above.

Correct, two pin is what I'm after. The closest I can find at Farnell are these two which quote the same noise figure, only a few dB below what I've currently got. In fact, checking the detailed spec for them the audio levels are measured not at the 28.7dBA mentioned in the description but 30.3±10% which could potentially make them louder!

/edit - If I'm prepared to drop the airflow to 17.1CFM then I can get it down to 27dBA

Need to search further.
