Sump cooling fan?

Picked up a couple fans up online. It hasn't gotten hot enough to need them yet. Darn Texas weather. I'll let y'all know how it works out.

You don't think there is enough room? Hold my beer...

Lol I'm sure I'll figure something out. Not in a rush to get a fuge light just yet. Going to give it at least a pay check or two lol.

When a liquid evaporates, its molecules convert from the liquid phase to the vapor phase and escape from the surface. Heat drives this process. In order for the molecule to leave the liquid surface and escape as a vapor, it must take heat energy with it. The heat that it takes with it comes from the surface from which it evaporated. Since the molecule is taking heat with it as it’s leaving, this has a cooling effect on the surface left behind. Increasing air flow will increase evaporation rate. Fans work fine as long as the humidity is low.

Cheers, I might try out fans as well, since the humidity is not too bad most of the time during summer.

Just wondering how effective the fans are for cooling down tanks - if the house is already hot, wouldn't those fans be just circulating hot air between the tank and the house?

In my system (running LEDs) the tank would get to 81 with the house temp of 75. With the fan it dropped to 78. It does help
