Author Topic: Should fan in Kneisley LH be rewired to run continously? Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 05-02-2005 11:56 AM                     I'm assuming the answer to this is yes. But currently from the factory, the fan is wired to only run when bulb is lit. It has good flow from the rooftop fan, but just wondered about the fan inside the lamphouse.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-02-2005 05:46 PM                     If your rooftop fan has about 600 to 900 cfm flow than don't worry about it. Its doing alot more than the paultry internal blower anyway. The roof exhaust will cool down the lamp more evenly with air being sucked in through the bottom plate louvers. Just remember to properly maintain the internal and roof fan motors and system. The latter is probably the most neglected thing there is in a cinema.

If a roof fan goes out on me, I have the service repair guy on the roof asap to fix it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-03-2005 07:43 AM                     quote: Wolff King Morrow I'm always on top of that myself.

Thats all well and fine but the real idea is to not have one go out by performing proper maintainance in the first place.... Mark  |  IP: Logged
