Fans for waming cabinet

[Bee Bumble]

Can anyone recommend fans suitable to use in a fridge freezer conversion to a warming cabinet. They will be plugged into a plug and play controller on domestic supply. The controller has 2 sockets, one for the heater and the other for the cooling fans.

Some controllers have a heating output and a cooling output. The two do not work simultaneously. If you want the fans to distribute the heat evenly they will have to be on the same output as the heating element. Depends on controller.
I used a mains powered fan from Maplin.

Do Maplins still exist?

Run the fan nonstop,not hooked up to the thermostat

I have used a cheap low power hand-held hair drier as a heat source. This is switched on and off by a thermostat. These go in the base area of the cabinet with a sheet of perforated metal above them and the tubs of honey in the top part.

12v computer cooling fan is sufficient to circulate the air .. 12 volt supply from an old computer mounted externally .. cheap as chips to run .. hook the supply into the mains and leave it on all the time the warming cab is in use. If you have a fridge freezer as the warming cabinet consider turning the smaller part into a food dessicator/dehydrator... dried strawberries, bananas, apples, raspberries - all yummy in your own breakfast muesli ! ... or really go to town ...home made Biltong !

You have all the kit available - might need a slightly higher wattage heat soiurce for the dessicator.

This is what I used with a greenhouse heater and digital thermometer.

You should try everything once ... great starter before the fried eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, sausage, black pudding and beans ...
