Description
Rack Mount Blower Unit ~150 CFM Dual Squirrel Cage Fan 18 AWG AC Power Cord
This is a metal rack-mount blower unit designed to provide active forced-air cooling in standard equipment racks, delivering approximately 150 CFM of airflow. The unit houses two squirrel cage blower wheels that draw air through the louvered front intake grille and exhaust out the rear — a configuration commonly used to remove heat from densely packed rack equipment. An 18 AWG AC power cord with a NEMA 3-prong plug provides power, and a rear panel label specifies grounding via center terminal or green wire.

Applications
Rack-mount blowers like this unit are used to provide supplemental or primary forced-air cooling in 19-inch equipment racks and cabinets housing servers, networking equipment, audio/video gear, or industrial electronics. Squirrel cage blowers are favored in rack applications because they move a high volume of air at relatively low noise levels and fit efficiently within the rack's vertical space. Units of this type were commonly used in telecom, broadcast, and computing rack environments from the 1970s through the 1990s, when rack-integrated thermal management was a practical necessity for densely populated equipment bays. They remain useful today in legacy rack installations, custom enclosures, and any environment requiring reliable forced-air ventilation where a standard fan panel would be fitted.
This rack mount blower unit (~150 CFM) has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but was pulled from a working operational environment where it was previously in use. The chrome front grille and metal housing show light general wear consistent with rack-mounted service use. The interior dual squirrel cage blower wheels are intact and visible; light surface rust is present on the rear housing edges and around the exhaust opening. The 18 AWG AC power cord and NEMA plug are intact, though the plug shows age-related patina on the blade contacts. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
