I'd suggest you consider an AC fan with a series
capacitor in one side or the
other of the supply to the fan. If you're ambitious, you can do quite a
little with that sort of hookup, trading off fan noise for effective cooling
power. If you put about 0.47uF in series with a typical small AC fan, it will
cut the torque considerably, and that will cut the amount of air it moves.
I do have a nice AC fan I could use. I was going to use it in another
project but it vibrated too much in the tower case I was using. It was
very noisey, mainly because of fan speed I think..... It's a very fast
many bladed fan.
If I could slow it down a bit, it may be just the thing to use, However.
Can you tell me exactly what to look for in a capacitor? My
experience is much when it comes to this type of thing.
I'm not to worried about using a temperature controlled setup.
