What's Wrong In This Picture?

This was Bone's old fan at the NANO yesterday. (Dad had gone on my behalf) |
Shell suit bottoms? no self respecting person wears such apparel :eek:
Brian :D |
It is broken? The item in the picture, not the picture.!

To the point where that's apparently how it came out of the car. :eek: |
Those mowers never cut very well. They often overheat (probably head gasket problems)!:getmecoat:

:D you guys are stuck in the past, they are top notch adidas running, training, bottoms I need them for the Nano meets :D PS that fan must of had a missile go through the bottom grill at sometime, as the cowling was snapped clean on the left hand bottom, and the fan blade fell on the floor when I took the front bumper off, good job the fan was not working or it would have cause untold damage. |
Hi David.
Below is the condition of bones fan once it was taken apart for investigation. As we know 1.8 fan control lid taken off. https://i.imgur.com/FUXlvGNl.jpg1 Remove the broken cowling for the motor. https://i.imgur.com/FUXlvGNl.jpg2 start of removing the rusty back plate/lid. https://i.imgur.com/tU6jRpel.jpg3 The back plate lifted https://i.imgur.com/cWtpA9Wl.jpg4 Right away you can see burning damage. https://i.imgur.com/YdHxdxWl.jpg5 https://i.imgur.com/zRuPGLHl.jpg6 Remove the board holding the brushes, right away you are confronted with the real extent of a stuck motor and the damage caused. https://i.imgur.com/XtdQ3y8l.jpg7 https://i.imgur.com/7yoi2F2l.jpg8 Here you can see that the low speed brush as been completely burned away, the medium worn down to a 1/4 https://i.imgur.com/ugNDGXql.jpg9 Every brush as hot burning residue marks on them, as well as the wiring wind and commutator. https://i.imgur.com/laA2KqQl.jpg10 Quite a few of the windings have burnt completely through. https://i.imgur.com/ps9nWUnl.jpg11 The only thing salvageable is the wiring loom & control box, these still need to be checked before they could possibly be used for another project. https://i.imgur.com/ena66cAl.jpg12 https://i.imgur.com/Icqzdesl.jpg13 I don't know how this as been missed, you would certainly have known by either smell or noise of it being stuck, lucky escape that no more damage was caused :eek: |
Hi Steve. I would think that you would have heard that give up the ghost? And like you say, the smell of the burnt windings and the rest of the burnt offering you would have smelt it .
|
Oh. My. God.
And here I am moping about a vandalised wing mirror when I should be thanking my lucky stars I didn't burn to death. I honestly didn't smell anything, so I can't tell you how long it was like that or even when it happened. Only thing I can think of is that it failed during a heat soak incident while I was out of the car, and even then I couldn't tell you which one. Jesus. :eek: Sent from my H8216 using Tapatalk |
Hi David. You are really very lucky if it happened while you have had the car. It could have gone up in flames by the look of it.

This is interesting, in so much as it is a 1.8, 2 speed, 3 wire, early type fan. i.e. 3 brushes.
The brush holder backplate clearly has 4 brush holders, which suggests that both the 2 speed and 3 speed fans were built from essentially the same components. This would appear to answer the one unknown factor in my article "how to identify your fan". The answer is that the brushes in both 2 and 3 speed fans are (in all likelihood) the same dimensions.
