DC Fans

Rocky Creek Hydro

Super Efficient DC Ceiling Fans

Rocky Creek Hydro now makes two types of DC ceiling fans: the Vari-Fan and the Vari-Cyclone.

Vari-Fan
903-006 Vari-Fan 42" 4 and/or 5 Blades $179

The Vari-Fan comes with all the hardware that allows it to be mounted close to the ceiling or hung from its 4" down rod (longer rods available - see below). Each fan comes with 5 blades and blade arms leaving the choice up to you whether to mount the fan with 4 or 5 blades. Each wooden fan blade is reversible with a light oak finish on one side and a dark oak finish on the reverse side - again allowing you to choose the finish that will go best with your decor.

The Vari-Fan is a brand new fan (not a retrofit) made of light but very durable ABS plastic, cast metal blade arms plated with a bright brass finish, and balanced wood blades. A heavy duty permanent magnet motor - drawing only 0.4 amp at 12 or 0.8 amp at 24 V DC powers each fan. The Vari-Fan comes with all mounting hardware requiring only a screwdriver and pliers for minor assembly and hanging. The molded housing of the Vari-Fan comes with a matte black finish. It will not dent or scratch easily, or be subject to corrosion in humid climates. Painting instructions are included with each fan. Estimated time to prepare and paint the Vari-Fan is one hour.

Vari-Cyclone

903-001 Vari-Cyclone 60" 4 Blade Painted $239

The Vari-Cyclone uses "Gossamer Wind" technology in the design of its blades allowing the Vari-Cyclone to produce up to 40% more air flow than the 5 blade Vari-Fan described above while using the same amount of energy. The motor and motor housing are the same for both fans. The Vari-Cyclone can be mounted close mount position or on a 16" down-rod included with the fan. This fan has four 60" blades and is painted all white. Painting instructions are included as is all necessary mounting hardware.

Variable Speed Fan Controls

908-001	12 to 28V Speed Control	$79
908-002	48V Version for RCH Fans	$89

Recommended by Rocky Creek Hydro for their ceiling fans, these are very quiet, dependable speed controls. They will work equally well on both 12V or 24V battery systems. On either battery bank voltage it allows the fan to run from 12V to 28V DC. i.e it acts as a "voltage doubler" on a 12V battery bank and a speed control on a 24V battery bank. The control also incorporates a reversing switch with a center "OFF" position allowing easy duplication of an optimal speed setting. This control is internally protected from wiring the input with incorrect polarity. It also features output short circuit protection. Each unit comes complete and ready to install with a mounting plate for a single gang box. A 48 VDC version is available for operating a RCH fan on a 48V battery bank.

Ceiling Fan Downrod Extensions

903-012	12" Length	$12
903-024	24" Length	$15

Bring ceiling fans lower for comfort and greater efficiency.

Box or Computer Fans

903-003	12V DC Fan	$19
903-004	24V DC Fan	$36
903-005	120V AC Fan	$19

These fans are very popular for winter air circulation. They move 105 cubic feet of air per minute. The outside dimensions are 4.75'' X 4.75''. You can mount them in the corner of a doorway to circulate woodstove heat around the house. The 24V fan uses .35 amps. and the 12V fan uses .55 amps. We have 120V AC fans that use 14 watts.
