Lion 14” Industrial Exhaust Fan

I actually have made a video of this fan running in its intended direction prior to installing it in my paint booth, but I felt like the lighting in that video is quite terrible, so here we are. This is a Lion brand exhaust fan that I bought from a seller in Waru market several years ago. This fan had metal extension brackets already welded on, the motor brackets were bent up resulting in the motor & blade not sitting straight, the whole thing was painted silver and it was set to run on reverse. Apparently this fan was used for a week in a mosque before they decided to sell it due to how loud it is. I ran this fan as is for quite some time, before deciding to rework the curvature of the blades to make it more efficient at pulling air, which is why you might notice the blades looking a bit weird. I’ve stated countless times that the D blade exhaust fan is among my most favorite type of fans, and that is the reason why I have that blue 16” unit I briefly showed near the ending of this video, but I don’t have any regrets in using this fan as a paint booth exhaust fan & treating it quite poorly. Sometimes you need to sacrifice something you like very much in order to make other things better, and that’s the case with this particular fan! #ExhaustFan
