The DC Powered Vari-Fan Ceiling Fan is the perfect choice for when AC power is not available. The Vari-Fan can be used in a variety of indoor applications including homes, enclosed porches, greenhouses, warehouses, offices, schools and cabins. Everything you need to assemble and mount a 4- or 5-blade Vari-Fan comes right in the box.
The Vari-Fan is powered by a permanent magnet, TENV (totally enclosed non-ventilated) motor with long life brushes. The Vari-Fan draws 0.5 amps @ 12 VDC and 0.78 amps at 24 VDC. At 12 VDC the 5-blade fan will have approximately 60 rpm moving 1,500 CFM when mounted at least 8 feet above the floor in an open room. At 24 VDC the 5-blade fan will have approximately 120 rpm moving 2,700 CFM when mounted at least 8 feet above the floor in an open room.
