Hi Ed;
	Do you really think that it will be this fast? Even say through the Evap
cores? The reason I ask is that I've just installed a fan on the back side
of one of my evap cores to be used in conjunction with one of my EWP's to
reject cowl/engine heat after shutdown. I assumed/guessed that the airflow
exiting through the evap core will be slowed down to <5mph. I don't have any
data to support this, it just seemed reasonable.
	I didn't add a shroud around the fan as I didn't want to hurt in-flight
cooling by forcing all of the air through the fan blades, even though this
will make the fan less efficient. But I think if it does see up to 60 mph
airflow then it's lifespan will indeed be short.
