Compact fans for the tech­nolo­gies of the future

The digital world is devel­oping at a fast pace. Commu­ni­ca­tions tech­nology, data centers, as well as tech­nolo­gies such as indoor farming all need ever more powerful elec­tronics to process enor­mous data flows. At the same time, packing density is rising inex­orably. This makes cooling a chal­lenge. Now a new compact fan is opening up inter­esting possi­bil­i­ties; with an edge dimen­sion of only 10 cm, it delivers up to well over 500 m³ of air per hour.»

Power fans for cooling elec­tronics

The digital world is devel­oping at a breath­taking pace. However, cooling is becoming a chal­lenge, both in telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions and automa­tion. It’s hardly possible to install more powerful fans or increase the number of them, as compact solu­tions are in demand and noise protec­tion require­ments must be complied with. A new compact fan from ebm-papst is a future-proof alter­na­tive, as it delivers up to 50% more air perfor­mance than conven­tional solu­tions.»

Increasing fan effi­ciency

The Euro­pean Union’s Ecode­sign Direc­tive (ErP Direc­tive), is the basis for assessing the effi­ciency of various compo­nents and devices. For example, the minimum effi­ciency of fans is spec­i­fied in the fan regu­la­tion, Regu­la­tion (EU) No. 327/2011, which also considers fans that are built into refrig­er­a­tion, air condi­tioning and venti­la­tion equip­ment. Such equip­ment can only be granted a CE marking if its fans satisfy the fan regulation’s require­ments.»
