Inline fan or vent to move hot air

[Navrig]

We have a wood burning stove in our open plan kitchen/diner/hall which also feeds heat to the stairwell and the upstairs rooms.  The one room it is not so good at heating is our lounge.  The burner is adjacent to the stud wall between the diner and the lounge.  I am looking into installing a high level extractor through that wall to move warm air into the lounge.

 

There is a nearby power supply which is adequate for the fan.  I can fit a fused spur and then rocker switch to turn the fan on/off.  I may even look at remote controlled on/off but it's not important.

 

I am looking for suggestions of a suitable extractor with a very quiet fan (the fan will be above the couch we use when watching TV.

 

Any suggestions?

Air has a low specific heat capacity, so to warm the lounge to any great extent you'll need a fan that can move plenty of air - either a large one, or one that runs quickly - so my guess is that you'll have trouble finding one that's very quiet.

 

As an alternative, and since the rooms area adjacent, maybe you could install a doorway between them and leave it open? Shouldn't be too difficult as it's a stud wall.

Something like this may be better.

Thanks.  We tend to use the burer to heat the house so it's on almost all day but the lounge is used in the evening.  So the pan would be to start the fan well in advance of the lounge being used.  Over a few hours I am ssre the ambient temperature in the liunge will increase.

 

Another door into the lounge would not work - that's where our sofa is, plus there is already a door only a few metres along the wall.

Another possibility is a quiet PC fan, though you'd need to provide it with a housing and a low voltage power supply. For example https://quietpc.co.uk/casefans

If you need a fan look no further than a Greenwood CV2 or CV3. They are silent at normal setting. You will need a 100mm hole through the wall. Runs on 230v
