I'm looking to mount this thing in the corner of a doorway to move cold air across some rooms from a window air conditioner. Possible?

yea works great for that, I'm currently using it for the same thing. The fan has an auto shut off on it though so it can't be mounted upside down, or on any more then a 90 degree angle.

I would say no . You would need a corner piece to come up the wall to the window unit .you might've able to join 2 vent kits together to do it

That is exactly what I did. BUT, it must be mounted in a dry, well-ventilated location. I would NOT recommend mounting it under the hood or anywhere where it could be exposed to water or humidity. I mounted mine on the inside wall behind the cabin. Keep in mind also that if the walls sweat, be careful that any power cables or wires attached to it do not allow a path for water droplets to travel down the wire to the unit. I once had a single drop of water ride down a power cable and drop into the vents. There was some crackling sounds and the inverter wouldn't drive anything like fans for about a day until it dried out. It's a tough little inverter that has forgiven me for a ton of stupid stuff, but I wouldn't recommend pushing your luck. Great little inverter. Won't drive a microwave oven since it's a modified sine unit, but it works great for my laptop, lights, TV, Xbox, refrigerator, alarm clock, coffee maker, coffee cup warmer, iPhone charger, power drill, fans...

It could, but you would probably have to mount on the exterior, or possibly on the door jamb. It would be more difficult to position.

I agree with idget. Unless you already have one of these, I'd look for a product designed for horizontal mounting. You could also just passively vent hot air into the attic and use this fan (at an attic gable vent for example) or your existing attic ventilation to send the heat from the attic to the outside.

The paperwork that comes with this unit states it is NOT suitable for mounting as a built-in. I am guessing that this has to do with the ventilation requirements.

This device generates heat so it needs to be mounted in a ventilated metal box if it's going to be visible. I have mounted these inside cupboards mounted to the side wall and on top of cupboards. I always shim the device so that air flow is all around it

Yes. It would be a very powerful range hood. You would probably have to wire it to a separate wall switch or something too. It's a large fan too, so it's not going to fit inside a wall or anything. If your range vent pipe is in your attic you could make it work. It is probably overkill unless you have a very serious range hood.

I assume you mean with an open garage door? I should work fine, the lack of air movement will help it as wind (or a fan) will disperse the effectiveness. But it is a combustion device (small one) so I am sure using in a closed environment is not wise.

It would be pretty difficult due to how close you would be to the wall. I would suggest going to a ceiling mounted unit.

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

Yes it should, it's got 2 holes for mounting and moves in both directions. It should be fine for mounting in a corner.

I'll try and break the tie. Its an electric fan mounted in a heavy aluminum base (I dont think the pictures do them justice, these things are pretty big) that requires sunlight to shine on one side in order to work. IMO it doesnt really make any more noise than any other fan that moves a similar amount of air, my fridge is way louder. You would wind up with a 12" or so circular hole in the roof that the fan is fastened to the outside of; you would need to put some sort of grill over the inside of it to keep fingers out of the spinning blades. It probably would not amputate a finger but could easily make a nasty cut. Plus its not the prettiest thing on earth to look at. You will also need a substantial source of air into the room otherwise you will be creating a suction. If the two rooms are connected you could swap the wires on the motor of one of them (would require some electronics skilz) and have one suck and the other blow and get a draft through the area. You will also need to provide a way to close it off completely in winter to avoid letting cold in. You could put a switch on it in conjunction with the closing mechanism so it doesnt run when closed. Additionally roof vents (powered or not) are not as insect proof as window screens, the openings are bigger. Might be a consideration for inhabited areas.

No it can not. This is a plastic unit with a very low air temperature rating.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would work for you. I would look for something that specifically suggests corner mount.

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.
