Cooling performance with 2 fans?

I'm the OP.

After reading the user manual closely, I found mention of a thermostatically controlled temp mains circuit. Mains power is cut if a sensor located near the critical element rises above a pre-set "safe" temperature.

So it looks like I can play in the "safety zone" of the fan's speed. I'm sure they built in a margin of safety, pushing much more air than is needed, on average. So I'm going to drop the speed of the built-in fan -- in trial steps

-- until the sensor trips. Then speed up the fan a little and see how it works, long-term.

Thanks, folks, for the suggestions.

A few years ago we bought some liquid/air heat exchangers from a company called Lytron. I recall that the fans that came with these heat exchangers (to blow air over the coils) were so quiet you could barely hear them running.

We used the Lytron 600o series heat exchangers.

I don't know who Lytron gets their fans from, but they are impressively quiet.

I'll contact them and see if they're willing to disclose their supplier...

Thanks,

They seem to use the Muffin XL, Patriot, and Caravel tubeaxial fans by Comair/Rotron.
