If it's the 4-bladed fan you wish to show as rotating behind a grating...

You could give you main texture an alpha channel with cut-outs for the gaps in the grating.

Create, say, three textures of the fan only, in different rotational positions. These would be at rotations of 0, 30 and 60 degrees. Create a .txl for these three textures, listing them in such a manner as to suggest quick rotation. The order might be a basic 1, 2 and 3. Or perhaps 1, 3, 1 and two. Or others...

You model will have this fan texture placed a very short distance behind the grating on the main object. And be sure to place another flat texture immediately behind the fan object, so that you don't see completely through the building. This blocking texture could be pure black.
