I'm thinking of using box fans instead.

Sylvia.

Don't you have window fans where you live?

http://www.target.com/Lasko-Electric...ndow/dp/B001VE...


You can get them here (USA) for $20
JC

Never seen them, but they would be perfect for what Sylvia wants to
achieve I think.
They are on Ebay, but all from the USA.

I found Lasko's web site. None of the instruction sheets (which I
thought might specify the power) seem to exist. So I emailed the
webadmin whose address was given on the web site. That email address
appears not to exist either (it bounced).

I hope they're better at making fans than they are at maintaining web
sites.

Sylvia.


These fans are also available on Ebay - search "window fan" and
"outside australia" and
there are several identical models. The sellers might be able to
help ?


I presume I'd need to buy a step down transformer, and then there's the
issue of the different frequency.

Sylvia.


Frequency difference only means the fans would spin a bit slower @ 50Hz
than at 60Hz. About 16% (1/6th) slower...not enough to matter I'm sure -
just turn it up one speed.
