In that case I could control two separate motors for more speed if necessary, for a total of 260W
kostas,

Are you really in Italy? I wish I was rather than in this wet gloom that is my fate in the wintertime.

Another good source for high quality fans that I discovered just yesterday, is electronics recyclers. I was down at such a shop yesterday, and saw a really choice high efficiency German ECM fan that would be absolutely perfect for a HRV project. Unfortunately, the fan I looked at had a bad bearing, but these things are used in large computer installations... only the best for large computer installations, you know. And when they upgrade, the whole system (fans and all) comes out and new systems go in (fans and all).

Best,

-AC
