Blower speed

Jun 26, 2010 4 Replies

I am converting an old computer fan into a blower.


Over here at 240 volts, its speed is not adequate.


Is there any way to increase the speed (rpm) without burning the motor.



Thanks.

Yes, increase the mains frequency and voltage(both). Will the blower survive that? Improbable. But for a short time, it will run faster.

steve Inscribed thus:

In that case, get a blower ! A fan will not produce the back pressure that a blower will.

The dumb answer is yes. Obstruct the airflow, it will spin faster.
