Who is the target group for the AxiBlade.Perform and where is it used?

The AxiBlade.Perform is designed for customers in the refrig­er­a­tion, air condi­tioning and heating indus­tries who need to move large volumes of air partic­u­larly effi­ciently. Typical appli­ca­tions include chillers, recoolers, condensers and heat pumps, i.e., systems that are usually oper­ated outdoors. This is precisely where axial fans with diam­e­ters of 860 and 950 millime­ters are used. Wher­ever large volumes of air, high effi­ciency and a robust design are required, the AxiBlade.Perform is the best solu­tion.

What exactly can customers expect from the AxiBlade.Perform?

Maximum flex­i­bility. We have completely redesigned the wall ring concept. The new plastic wall ring made of fiber composite mate­rial is designed to accom­mo­date all stan­dard instal­la­tion situ­a­tions with all common screw-on points in a single product: on-top, flat-top, vertical or hori­zontal instal­la­tion, mounted on the suction or pres­sure side. An external terminal box for the connec­tions can be option­ally attached to the side of the device, ensuring flex­i­bility and adap­tivity to indi­vidual needs. For easier and more effi­cient service or repairs, there is an optional repair switch. If a tech­ni­cian needs to work on the fan, they simply flip this switch—and boom, no voltage. No more searching in the control cabinet or looking for fuses.

Does the plastic wall ring also play a role in effi­ciency and perfor­mance?

Indeed. We were able to inte­grate the guide vane directly into the wall ring so it is no longer a sepa­rate compo­nent, but part of the plastic wall ring. We took the oppor­tu­nity to opti­mize the new overall design once again in terms of effi­ciency. That alone brings a whole two percent effi­ciency gain compared to the AxiBlade! At the same time, the motor is cooled better, which enables higher power reserves. The bottom line is: same motor-impeller combi­na­tion, but notice­ably better perfor­mance.

Is there anything else that’s good for customers?

Quiet oper­a­tion is always part of the AxiBlade series. In combi­na­tion with the optional Flow­Grid inlet grille, flow noise can be further reduced, espe­cially in confined instal­la­tion situ­a­tions. In addi­tion, the AxiBlade.Perform is NEXAIRA-compat­ible and can there­fore be inte­grated into our digital ecosystem. Even though many customers still focus purely on air perfor­mance, such features are an impor­tant building block for future-proof, networked systems.

 More features of the AxiBade.Perform:

At the heart of the fans are impellers crafted from high-quality composite mate­rial. Their profiled blade geom­etry, featuring inte­grated winglets, guide vanes, and a diffuser, achieves high energy effi­ciency over a wide oper­ating range, while keeping noise at a minimum. The plug-and-play design ensures quick and easy instal­la­tion and direct 1:1 replace­ment of the fans. Four pres­sure taps enable the measure­ment of differ­en­tial pres­sure and/or volume flow. They also serve as a prepara­tory step for the instal­la­tion of a Flow­Grid, which further reduces noise. Other features include the side-mounted terminal box and an optional heating band, that can be installed in the wall ring to prevent ice forma­tion, espe­cially for use in evap­o­ra­tors.

The AxiBlade.Perform fans support both MODBUS-RTU and the ebm‑papst NEXAIRA cloud connec­tion. Collect oper­a­tional data in real time for predic­tive main­te­nance. An ideal prereq­ui­site for intel­li­gent HVAC systems. With IP55 protec­tion and the envi­ron­mental class H2 the fans are designed for demanding envi­ron­mental condi­tions. They already meet the require­ments of the Ecode­sign Direc­tive and Fan Regu­la­tion 2026, offering a long-term, future-proof solu­tion for OEMs and plant oper­a­tors.
