Recommendation on Fans

[RKenSailor]

I am getting close to finally getting my C22 in the water.
Does anyone have recommendations on dc wired or rechargeable battery fans? I would like 3 or 4 to use as needed.

Better plan on large solar panels and spare house battery that many fans will suck up some electricity.

I have two of these. It's a fairly narrow but powerful wind tunnel.

I am a fan (!?) of Caframo fans. Low power draw and low noise. I have one of these in the saloon and I love it. I didn't believe the power numbers from the manufacturer so I measured and their numbers are good.. I like that it has a timer so it can be set to turn off after folks are asleep and the boat cools down. Kinda expensive but worth it in my opinion.

We have a couple of these that work pretty well. They last the night and get recharged the next day or just run off of USB.

I installed four Hella two speed fans approximately 10 years ago; two in salon & one in each berth area. Quiet operation & relatively low power consumption.

We have several Hella fans and like them because they are very quiet. We also have a Caframo 757 fan which does a better job of moving air for less money, however they are noise and the blades are exposed. Having some experience with the blades striking my fingers, this is not a big issue for teenage or adult sized hands, tiny hands may feel the blades more but there won't be any lasting damage.

I love these fans. I've tried several and these are still my favorite. They will run a couple days on low and are nearly silent, perfect to have a breeze while you are sleeping. You can put them anywhere or hang them or affix them on a screw. The 7 inch size is the one. The smaller one works but it's a little whiny.

I also have a Caframo Ultimate and a Caframo Bora which might be a little stronger, but are much louder.

Amazon.com. I have two of these and one of them has run 24/7 for over 2 years on low speed. I leave it plugged into the USB receptacle to lessen the chance of mold developing. They are very quiet and draw very little current.
