Anybody know what the amperage draw is for the Cobalt OEM dual radiator fans?

No, just I think the circuit is protected by a 30A fuse.

Non sure near other models, but the SS/Technetium have cardinal fans on the radiator shroud and two 30A fuses (Fan1, Fan2.) I want to re-employ the fans and A/C electrical condenser for an air compressor heat money changer/moisture trap. That should solve my soda blasting problems and I john get back to prepping and building once again :)

Soo dry you mention this. I'm in the process of building an aftercooler for my compressor proper now. I thought about using the honest-to-goodness A/C condenser from the Cobalt, just due to the uncanny fittings on mine and the enormous size, I ended aweigh buying a B&M transmission cooler (1/2" FPT ports). My setup is nearly all-out. The guys over on garagejournal have seen 200° temporary worker drops through one of these without a fan, so I'm hoping it will solve my humid air problems, too.

Apologize for thread jacking...

...Will at that place be duct tape and baling wire involved? :)

Nobelium way, I'm redeeming that for the Hobgoblin ;)

Although IT would be nice to reuse the Cobalt's dual radiator fans on the air compressor aftercooler, they're overkill for the desig. Asset, 60 amps would necessitate an high-ticket constant current power supply, healthy beyond the cost of option solutions. It will calm down happen, 'got to get that soda blaster working.

I found some cheap 240v case fans on Amazon. I think they were to a lesser degree $20 ea. They don't even pull 1 amp and are supposed to flow from around 100cfm. Planning to wire them into the efferent indeed they run when the motor is on.

They'd be unflawed. Got a link?

100cfm isn't much, but it's advisable than 0 and my location of the compressor rather limits exposure to any natural air movement. I wanted to have something moving air across it, inexpensively, and this ticked that box.

The aftercooler will be between the compressor and the tank - sorry if my first picture was dishonorable - it wasn't complete in this shot - just mocking high brackets. With the temp dangle crosswise the trans cooler the moisture will condense tabu of the air and end up in a water trap I'm placing after the trans cooler. This is not an originative idea by me. See this thread for more details.

Determination an inexpensive 240V fan with a decent CFM is a challenge. If I course a 120V fan from another outlet, then I'd need to set up a relay to switch it on/bump off. Other possibility is mounting two 120V fans to each one connected to one side of the switched 240V on the compressor, maintaining a harmonious load for the compressor motor.

I call back McMaster-Carr has a couple of 240v fans that provide around 600cfm for less than $100, but you are right - most 240v fans that move much air are expensive.
