8970B Noise figure unit


kevin kearns
 

Has anyone changed their fan on the 8970? Mine is very noisy and likely to fail soon. Original is a Dryco 411M-11, 30CFM, 115V.

Hi just a thought

?

some fans use roller bearings if so try your local model shop for replacement bearings

I have, but it was one I had already so don’t remember the number. These kinds of fans are readily available, and the newer ones have a reduced noise level for the same CFM and backpressure.?

Managed to select the PAPST 3906M for the 8970B fan replacement, just waiting for the special fan connector and lead to arrive.
?
Any tips on removing the installed fan? Looks tight. Does it need both lids off? Is it soldered or mated to the 8970 thru a connector?
?
