Adding external fan to projector to help with cooling - AVS Forum | Home Theater Discussions And Reviews
-------Has anyone experimented with adding an external fan to a projector where it vents its heat? Unless it was a coincidence, the projector bulb lasted much longer after adding the small fan. I had purchased a Sanyo Z2 which blew it's initial lamp after only a few months (projector was run for approx 10-15 hours/week at the low lamp setting). I started reading stories about inadequate cooling causing premature lamp failure, so decided to mount a small external fan to the side vent to draw heat out of the unit. The next lamp lasted for the remaining life of the unit (over 4 years)! I just purchased a new Sanyo Z60 which also seems to run hot, and am contemplating mounting the fan to it as well.
-------------------
-----should this help me to increase lamp life also retain good brightness till 1500 hrs or so ?
should i put a high 8000 rpm fan on vent of heat exhaust out at a certain distance away from it ?
a big wall mounted table fan at top also maybe ?
turning on high altitude mode increase fan speed - is this safe ?
----------PLEASE SUGGEST ME ----------
