Neighbor gave me a 36" whole house fan. He barely used it, his wife prefers ac!
It runs great, but I could see where the blades have been installed on the miter shaft in different positions. Where is the best air flow, blades in the venturi housing?
In the new barn I'll put it in the cupola since it has vents it would be great pulling air up and out cupola. As you see it will go between two rafters, I won't cut any purlins as that won't affect air flow much, of course I'll have to cut/remove insulation there.
My idea is make a box, 2 sides rectangle, 2 sides triangle to match roof pitch. I'll have it on switch, probably a thermostat.
Thanks any ideas. It's high up so hoping to make it easy!
