Evening all, Does anyone know if it is possible to reverse the direction of the airflow on a Maxxfan? I would like to have one of the fans pulling air in instead of sucking it out. Or would I have...
Most of that type fans have a common DC fan Motor, which can be run in reverse by just changing the polarity. AT YOUR OWN RISK, you could try just disconnecting the wires and reversing them. If it runs backward, great! If it smokes or throws sparks, it doesn't work. One more thing to consider, some fan blades have an airfoil to improve the efficiency of the fan. It might run backwards, but may have a lesser airflow.
