I am installing a small well insulated walkin cooler in my basement. The evaporator fan I was going to use a Bohn TL12 (1200 btu rated @ 10degree TD) has 2 208/230v shaded pole motors with a total FLA of .8 amps My understanding is that shaded pole motors along with being inefficient operate near full load amps even at no load. so even if the draw was .7 amps that would be 154 watts @ 220v
So 154w x 3.41 would be 525 btu. This would mean that the evaporator fan motors would use almost 1/2 of the cooling capacity. Could this be correct?
