Industrial 30" pedestal fan

[David Turner]

It is always hot in my 2 car garage workshop so I purchased a HD industrial two speed 6400/8400 cfm fan. Wow does it move some air, too much. And the noise is deafing. I have to wear my hearing protection even while perfoming hand tool work.
Question for you electrical experts. Can I purchase some sort of rheostat (sp?) that would allow the fan speed to be regulated/reduced?

Yes Grainger sells one that turns on power at a set temperature. Some others HVAC supply houses do as well, I don't know the stores out in your areas, but I do know Grainger does. Figuring out what they call it is the challenge

To control the speed we would need more information on the motor. A photo of the motor label should suffice and the fan make and model would help

That's a thermostat, not a speed regulator. I know you can get speed regulators for shadded pole motors
