Question about a cabinet incubator

[eschwaderer]

Are the fans that are installed in cabinet incubators wired to run continuously or do the only run when the heating element is active?

I have a sportsman and it runs all the time.

any fan should run all the time in any incubator.. I have read about LG and Hovas coming from the factory wired through the thermostat..(wrong).. these have to be rewired.. very easy to do..

Thanks guys. I'm building a cabinet incubator and was wondering.

 

[jvls1942]

don't skimp on the fan.. make sure it blows air so that it really mixes it up in the cabinet.. a lot of air movement will not hurt the eggs.. but it will prevent any unwanted cold spots..

I'm going to use a 6" inline duct fan (for HVAC) that should by good for about 200 cfm.
