MEGA-FAN vertical-mount USB-controlled cooling fans for Plasma and LCD TVs / HDTVs & video monitors
 

This cooling unit is designed to quietly pull hot air out of your TV or video monitor.   It has 2 high-quality, low-noise 120mm fans, with long-lasting and quiet fluid dynamic bearings.  Each fan has a mounting plate, with a rubber air-chamber ring around the bottom edge, to make sure the fan is sealed against the back of the TV.  The fans are also fitted with snap-lock adhesive pads, which stick the fans to the back of your TV, yet allow easy removal and reinstallation.     

The system includes a USB control module, which turns the fans on and off, under the control of your TV's USB port (type A connector).    The USB module controls the power from the multi-voltage transformer (included with the cooling system), which runs the fans.   In addition, YOU control the fan speed, using the multi-speed fan controller.

      Features      

ABOUT THE USB CONTROLLER:   This cooling system includes a USB control module, which turns the fans on and off, under the control of your TV's USB port (type A connector).   The USB module controls the power from the multi-voltage transformer (included with the cooling system), which runs the fans.

Note:   Your TV only supplies a tiny trickle of power, which activates the USB module.   This protects your TV's circuitry, which is not designed to power a fan.  Instead, the module controls the power from the multi-voltage transformer (included with the cooling system), which runs the fans.

IMPORTANT:  The USB control module will turn the fans on automatically, whenever the USB port is "on" (supplying voltage at the USB socket).  When the USB turns off, the fans stop.   Please check your operation manual, to confirm that the USB port turns on and off with your TV.   A few TVs have a USB port that is always on.  

OTHER FEATURES:

  • The cooling system has 2 high-quality, low-noise 120mm fans, with long-lasting and quiet fluid dynamic bearings.   Each fan unit has its own air chamber base, which pulls air out of an area 35% larger than the fan alone.  Note that larger bases (with more area coverage) are available -- please check with me.   The fan units are securely fastened to the back of your TV/Monitor by special adhesive pads, which allow the fan units to be removed and replaced, as needed.
  • Also includes a multi-speed power transformer, which plugs into any 120 volt outlet.  You control the speed of the fan, using this adjustable transformer.  It can be set to any one of 6 different speeds.
  • INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  The unit's power transformer (supplied with the cooling system), can be switched to either 110/120 volt or 220/240 volt operation.  However, the transformer uses the standard US-style 2-prong plug.  Contact me if you need an adapter plug (there is no charge), and specify one of the three types:  1) NZ/AU  (2 slanted prongs) 2) Euro (2 round prongs), or UK (three large prongs).
  • Even at medium speeds settings, the fans will replace a volume of air equal to that of most TVs several times per minute (see airflow specs below).
  • All cooling system parts connect together using special heavy-duty Molex quick-connect plugs, which allows the parts to be separated for easy wire-routing.
  • The standard system comes set up so that hot air enters the front of the fan unit (next to the TV), and exits out the back.  If you need to have the air flow reversed, just let me know.  There is no extra charge for this option.  You can also easily change the fan orientation later, if necessary.
  • The system comes completely assembled, with all components installed, wired and ready to go!


      Specifications      

  • Dimensions:   Each cooling unit measures 5-1/2" square (includes the mounting plate).  The units are 1-1/4" tall, and only requires about 1/3" additional space for airflow. 
  • USB module specifications:  The USB module is 1-1/2" long and 1" wide, and 3/4" thick.  The cable is 3' long.
  • Maximum current draw:  .5 amps or 6 watts.  Normal operation (at lower speeds) will draw less current and watts.
  • Bearing type:  Super quiet, long lasting Fluid Dynamic bearings.

The table below shows the combined specifications for BOTH of the 120mm fans, at several different speeds.
