Abstract

A convection fan includes a plurality of blades mounted for rotation with a shaft, a guiding plate mounted to partially surround the plurality of blades, and a fan-motor mount. The fan-motor mount includes a top plate and a bottom plate through which the shaft extends, a motor fastener that mounts a motor to the bottom plate in isolation from the top plate, a guiding plate fastener that mounts the guiding plate to the top plate in isolation from the bottom plate, an insulator between the top plate and the bottom plate, and a plate fastener that mounts the top plate to the bottom plate. The plate fastener includes a fastener and a standoff that surrounds a portion of the fastener between the top plate and the bottom plate and within the bottom plate to provide a thermal break.
