I've been watching the Bay for quite some time, looking for a better fan to cool my lathe's motor (when the VFD's stopped or set below 30Hz, easy to do with one of its programmable relays), always naff, too expensive, too far away and a couple of limbs to post to me...
Like buses, wait all day and four come at once - EBMPapst 10" equipment fans thrown in the scrap electricals skip out the back at work, on a 3-year preventive maintenance schedule although they've been in equipment that only kicks in for its annual test... October 2011 manufacture date stamps on the back...
All now tested and working fine ( yes, on the bedroom floor! The floor's clear because they blew all my clothes into a corner, who needs a leaf-blower when you have a sock-blower?), next test will be the gallon capacity ultrasonic cleaner that was next to 'em in the skip...
EDIT: Just looked them up online, Digikey/Mouser put them at about $180 each... Must be nice being a government agency with all that tax to spend!
