No, this is not a thread about me losing weight or being kinder or more generous etc. I'm talking about
this Brammofan:
Inspired by today's "wish list" on the "
geeky" thread,
1. I wish I could tweak the temperature at which the fan came on. I think I have to deal with this more than most people because I'm 6'3" and about 220 lbs., but my sense is that when the fan comes on at 160 degrees, it's too late for it to "catch up" with the heating already in progress. 150 would be better for me, and sometimes, 140 if it's a particularly hot day to start with.
2. I wish I could do something to increase the airflow around the motor. The fan seems to make a lot of noise for the amount of air it moves. It's like, well, it needs some sort of duct or a little door on the side panel or something to open up.
3. I wish I had a cover on my fan like the one shown in the photo. Not sure if my Enertia is a later model or what, but my fan blades are exposed.
And no, I don't get temperature faults (the dreaded "Thermal Cutback D6 - Motor temperature too high"). I've gotten them before, but it's been a long time. I want to get this kind of cooling because I know that the motor is more efficient at cooler temperatures and that prolonged operation at high temperature will shorten its life.
I often wonder, as a result of the fairly common and longstanding complaint of "The fan is too loud," if Brammo has equipped later models of the Enertia Classic and the Enertia Plus with quieter and/or better fans.
It's been awhile since Brian or the various techs have dropped in to comment on the forum - totally understandable, of course. They have so much going on right now. Looks like they don't get out much these days, if the squinting and the pale skin in their
team photo is any indication. Still, I'd love to have about half an hour of his (or their) time to get some of these questions answered.
Maybe we need to lobby for another Google+ chat session - but instead of watching me drink beer and listening to me complain about the video feed from the Empulse launch, we can invite Brian or Aaron or someone "techy" to speak.
