I installed a small (two or three inch square)computer fan (from Radio Shack) behind my panel for avionics cooling long ago and have no complaints. I fashioned a plenum to collect the fan output with outlets connected thru appropriate sized Scat tubes to the cooling inlets on the units that had such provisions. Doesn't need much, just enough to keep the air in the units moving and keep it from becoming stagnant, and developing hot spots. Should work right fine for defrosting and I think I'll do that - wish I'd thought of it myself when I was installing the fan for the avionics. Dan Schaefer
