Been looking around for a weatherproof outdoor fan for my dogs kennel. Does anyone know where to locate one? Im guessing it would have to have a sealed motor

Tony - have you searched online for marine fans?

Tony, I have a Dayton Commercial Fan and it has a 1/2hp sealed motor on it. I would guess it to be maybe a 30"fan. I think Grainger's or Northern tools sells fans like them. Mine only has one speed, it would be nice if it had one a little lower but It is mounted in our kennel and it is under the roof but still gets water blown in on it. That fan runs almost 24-7 from May to Oct.

That's where I got all of mine and they sell every size fan up to like a 30' +

Dayton is a good resource. I'm eyeballing this one also as it has a smaller spread and is reversible.

Ya I like this one and it has a sealed motor. http://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/prod1;ft_cooling_fans-ft_portable_fans;pg105527.html Plus you and I both know how hot the summers are here in Texas. Im using a regular fan now and forget it outside sometimes when it actually does rain.

Wouldnt you have to have a converter to go from 24v dc to 120?

Yes, 12 or 24v would have to be converted to 120 to use a wall outlet. Do you use this type now? If so what are you using to convert the power supply?

These are what I'm running over my runs. East to install and move a good amount of air. Most of the time I'm running them just to keep mosquitos off at night. Had them in operation about 2 years almost with no problems.

My bad Tony, I took outdoor kennel and sealed motor as a truck box application.

No biggie, I think we both where confused. On the flip side I think the model you had would work great for a truck box. Let me know how it works if you get it.

Tony, what would work best for you is a fan motor application for a commercial kitchen dishwasher hood or grease exhaust. Both use a sealed motor with heat sinks and are designed to withstand high temperatures. Grainger has a great selection of the Dayton brand fans. Check into Greenheck as well. PM me on the specifics of your kennel application and I might have a better suggestion for you.
