Small fan for chest freezer ferm chamber?

[GeorgeH2013]

Anyone using something like this in a chest freezer fermentation chamber, to move the air around a bit? Or any ferm chamber, for that matter.

The low speed one I wanted is suddenly unavailable. Maybe high speed is better. I was just thinking it's a small space (15.7cf), and the less noise, the better. Price is nice, at least.

Not keen on running AC inside, and AC fans usually use more power (and produce more heat) than equivalent DC fans.
I'd go with something like this with a cheap USB charger plug. It's even speed-adjustable...

Thanks, day tripper. I don't have a place to plug it into a USB, but I guess a little adapter would work fine, right?

Exactly. If you have an orphaned USB wall-wart charger that'd be ideal, but otherwise they're cheaply had...

Cheers!

You can snip the USB plug off and wire it to a 5V wall wart, or omit the retractable USB cord (use it for something else) and wire the fan to the wall wart.

I don't really want to do any wiring. I just want to plug it into a cellphone wall adapter, and plug that into the wall.

No problem, I'd think

Sure that'd work. If the cord can reach outside the freezer...

Nice. Thanks for the input, guys. I'm pretty excited to put this ferm chamber together!
