The capacitor says this

Ducati Energia
16.1825SA
16 ��F +/-5% (that square is like an upside down h)
250V~ 10000h /cl. B
400V~ 3000h / cl. C
425V~ 1000h / cl. D
-25/85/21 PO CE

250 Vac 60Hz
-25/85 degree celcius
CSA C22.2 N. (degree)190

it also says S20/08 on it

I have no idea how to find the capacitor. thanks for any help any of you can provide me! stay safe.

 

[jnuggs]

Sorry, on the outside of the fan it says

120V 60Hz 100W 0.80A Listed
Cap. 16 uF 250 V

not sure if that helps at all. Thanks again.

bump..anyone ..

 

[OneHit]

Theres no model number? You know its made by ducati

It is a .8 amp, 16 micro farad cap for 120VAC. Should be able to pick one up at an electronics store like Radio Shack. How big is it (physical size)?

Just hooked up the 150 6" in my darkroom 150 for a hood cooling fan. very quiet and the wireing was super easy. I am very pleased with this fan!!!

 

[jnuggs]

The physical size of the capacitor is about 2 1/4" long, by 1 1/2 wide. I tried searching the internet but could not find the Ducati Energia model available anywhere. I'm assuming I could use a different brand of the same specifications? Would it be worthwhile to change the capacitor to see if the fan will work again?
Also..
Do you think it's safe to put the TD 200 in a cardboard box, full of peanuts? I don't think the fan would get hot enough to burn them? I think that'd be easier than building a wooden box. At the moment I'm short on cash and space for the wooden muffle box. Thanks all and keep safe!

 

[bobharvey]

Well I spoke to someone regarding that just today no contest when it comes to quietness.
Check this out & go to pg 2 http://www.hvacquick.com/catalog_files/solerpalau_TD_Extended_Catalog.pdf

does all the necessary wiring come with the fan? Cause I don't know how to wire anything haha

 

[OneHit]

Nope, you have to get your own wiring. Its pretty simple, unless you get some loose wiring like mine came

 

[jnuggs]

bobharvey.. check back like 3 pages or so and the wiring is fully explained
good luck and stay safe!

As long as the ratings are the same, you can use any manufacturers run cap. Mars is a company that we get most often. Most AC supply houses carry them, though you might even be able to pick one up from Home Depot or the like.

awesome thank you very much klmmicro!

So do I just pick up an extention cord?

 

[OneHit]

Yeah, HD has the kind where it comes to be wired. One end plugs into the wall, other is just 3 wires, black, white, and green

does anyone have this fan hooked up to a homemade filter? I have a cabinet and i'm trying to figure out how i'm going to lower temps and control odor. When I get a camera i can posts pics so that maybe someone can help me. But I'd like to see some pictures of this fan hooked up to a diy scrubber so i can at least believe its possible and hopefully generate some ideas of my own.

 

[tokinwhiteguy]

So can I just buy one of the cheapest 4" one of these ...

Splice an extension cord and hook it up to either the high or low (according to the diagram)? Then just run some ac flex duct from it to a homemade carbon scrubber. Can I get away with some PC fans for the air intake?

 

[jnuggs]

bobharvey, I'm not sure why you need pictures of the fan hooked up to a DIY filter to believe it works. I took a few pictures but the quality isn't great. I also am using the TD 200 model. I have it hooked up to about 30 foot of insulated ducting, my light, and a 30"x6"(diam.) DIY filter..the fan is way too powerful for my closet(5'Lx5'Wx8'H)

tokin - more info on your op would be helpful. What size/etc. I use the cheapest 4"(TD-100) for my intake and it's a nice little quiet fan! Yes you can splice an extension cord and hook it up. Mine didn't have a high/low. It just had hot, common, ground..or black to black, white to white, green to green. It may only cost about 1/2 the price though if you get an Appliance Replacement Cable..should be around $5!
Good luck to you both with your grows! Stay Safe!

you think a TD150 could could handle a run like this- tent,hood,duct,fan,filter...? i would have it the other way around, but i hadda make a pvc frame for my tent and it is in no way strong enough to get my vote for a mounting point... think it will do it on full blast?

 

[jnuggs]

How big is the tent? What light? Do you currently have a grow going? If so, what are the temps like now, and what CFM fan are you using? PEACE

dr150, 4'11"x4'11"x6'7"...1000W lumatek, hortilux eye, hydrofarm radiant six hood, can33 filter. soler palau TD150 on high pushes 293cfm, nothing currently in this flowering room, its brand newey so i dont have base data yet... i was hoping it would be able to push thru the scrubber at the end of the line
