Al Aweer Farm Project

[Tais]

recently we acquired a farm in al aweer (located in the north of dubai), there was a house that originally had 6 JMC fans, 5 were taken, not sure if by previous owner or during renovation since i didnt follow up until recently coz i didnt know where it was located exactly

before i start anything, i observed the place and took permission from my grandpa to put the fans there, he accepted.. i also made a thread once before which set of fans to place there, i ended up choosing safer fans to place there

the house has 4 bedrooms, a kitchen and a hall, where i can put my fans

this JMC was there, the only one that remained from the 6









the fans placed:

1: Safer (gen 1)

one of the earliest fans obtained in february 2011, featured in the thread "got this bad boy" or something similar, unlike all safers i have, this one has a cast iron motor and thick downrod and its much stronger than the others..

the motor is so stiff, i tried lubricating it several times, it was useless but i managed to reduce the motor sounds

i placed it in the hall of the house





2: Blue Cross (gen 3)

obtained from scrapyard last year in november.. some of you are familiar with this fan which was featured earlier the forums, this one had its original winding damaged, i fixed it by connecting the cables together by making 2 u turns instead of to each other due to difficulties... as a result, the fan spins slower than all the others.. all the parts you see in this fan is not original, each part came from another safer or another fan





3: EMC Safer-EMCO (gen 4)

obtained from scrapyard in june this year.. unlike all other safers i have, this one doesnt have a threaded downrod, it is noticeable in this fan that the 2 hunks are slightly bigger than the blue cross and the rotor is smaller, the lower bearing is also smaller.. the only issue with this fan is that its bearings are noisy





4: EMC Safer-EMCO (gen 5)

pulled from the scrap truck that was leaving the abandoned building last year in august, this fan was featured earlier in the forums in EMC Safer EMCO thread or something similar when it had a short downrod and it was humming alot when operating.. the long downrod came from another safer i got from the scrapyard that turned out to be damaged plus the humming issue was from the capacitor

this is the only one i didnt paint but it strangely fits the surrounding wall



5 and 6: EMC Safer-EMCO (gen 6)

obtained them from the scrapyard back in january this year, originally i wanted to keep one and sell the other (which i may do when i get the second gen up there)

unlike the previous generation, it has metallic canopies

i placed this fan earlier in the usual room where i mount my fans, but didnt feature it in the forums since this thread was coming up.. so here are the pics before:











and now: (got the motor painted)





the last fan:

this one turns out to be stiff and due to that, it cant operate at speeds 5 and 4 using SMC regulators

Why dont you oil or replace the bearings on the noisy/stiff ones?

They look great!

[Tais]

i did oil them actually, i kept them operarional for quite a long time, over time the bearing noises reduce over time as long as they r lubricated

If they're still stiff, you can always replace the bearings altogether.

Great choice, love how these look in there.

[Jean Lemieux]

Very nice. I love how thick the motor on the first one is.

The upper canopy on the second and third fan would be from a KDK or National?

You did really well in painting them especially on the first one.

I like the ceilings this house has. Some houses in N'Djamena had ceilings like that.

I agree with Jean.
