That's what sh-..... <moved to snippiness>Lol I like to add a inch
Very nice. I did see a couple of those, although not the solar powered one. I was aiming for just slightly less noticable than something sticking to the window. But who knows, I may try a couple out.Sorry tried to post link it doesn't work if you go to website just put in auto fan
Very clever. I can't find the link or reference to it. But a couple of years ago someone invented a add-on center console that mounted into the foot well of the RFS and went between the kids feet. It had a fan and scoop that sucked air in from the rear seat area, down and back up towards their faces. He intended to make more than just his prototype. I've not seen anything on it since, but who knows it might still be available. As I recall he was asking some where between $350 and 400 for this device. I'm sorry, but I can't remember which forum it was on - TM or TMC.
Will do!
I ended up using 60mm Delta AFB0612EH fans. I spent hours on the Delta Fan site comparing different CFM/DBA combos. This fan seemed like a great compromise. I tried a 80mm tornado for testing which is the 2nd highest CFM consumer fan that is produced and it was just too loud. The 60mm Delta's are rated at 40cfm and 45dba. They are also rated at 13.8v which tells me they are probably safer for automotive use. If we remember our car audio 101, auto voltage can get as high as 14.2-4v and I have seen 14v coming from the Tesla 12v battery before. All that being said, those fans are 25mm thickness and I just ordered the 38mm Delta model that is found in the Dell Power Edge 2800 servers. They have about 40% more CFM but only 15 more DBA.
60mm fit no problem. 80mm were very very tight, and for the 25mm thickness models required that they actually be mounted half inside the hole. Rather than deal with cutting the trim, I chose the 60's.The larger the fan diameter the lower the noise per CFM (lower RPMs to move the same amount of air). Can you fit a 100mm, 120mm or 140mm fan in there?
I'm sure that'd mean making new shrouds if you want the best possible sound levels but the difference could be quite significant.
The final solution, unfortunately, is just the basic airflow. The whole peltier setup with wiring and hoses and everything fits, BUT there just isn't a way to get that waste heat from the radiator, outside of the car, which means you are just relocating heat to somewhere else in the rear hatch. You *might* be able to mount the radiator to the vents in the fender wells, but then you'd have to relocate the whole cooling setup anyway or risk having wires/hoses running from the hatch and outside of the trim panels; and by that point of planning, I lamely gave up anyway.Did a final solution ever come of this? Have an instructable to build it out and keep it looking somewhat stock?
