Using Aftermarket Inline Exhaust and non OEM Replacement Fans

Using Aftermarket Inline Exhaust and non OEM Replacement Fans

Why use an aftermarket fan?


The usual reason is to mitigate noise levels on the CZ-TD550 centrifugal fan. 


Info

NOTE: ALL THUNDER MACHINES Q3 2021 CONTAINER #103 AND NEWER HAVE OEM INLINE QUIET FANS! Here is more: Exhaust System Changes Q3 2021

Info
For machines like the Titan we do not recommend changing the fan out due to the integration of the fan into the machine.

Other Fans:


You can use other similar fans as long as they meet or exceed the minimum airflow and they do not exceed the current draw and other specs of your stock fan.


Connecting an aftermarket fan to your Thunder Laser

      You can connect an exhaust fan that does not draw more current than your stock fan. You will find that info linked above. To do this you will need an IEC 60320 C14 Male to NEMA 5-15R Female 10A adapter like this:









Warning


DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER LIKE THIS TO RUN AN EXTERNAL AIR COMPRESSOR FROM THE COMPRESSOR JACK ON THE LASER. THIS IS FOR ADAPTING THE EXHAUST FAN TO ACCEPT AN AFTERMARKET INLINE FAN.




Adding a Startup Delay for your exhaust fan
