Fan Housing -- An integral
part of the TEF is the fan housing which provides structural support and protection for
the motor and fan and acts as the heat sink and thermal transfer link for the
thermoelectric generator in the TEF.
The fan housing is a 14" diameter open
top cylinder with a complex slotted and finned base. The cylinder is 10" high and has
a weight of 7.5 lbs. The wall thickness of the housing ranges from 0.880" at the base
to 0.124" on the side walls

| The
slots in the base provide paths for the forced air to exit close to the hot surface of the
stove, picking up heat and moving down and away from the fan. |
