Singa­pore is relying on local and sustain­able food produc­tion. To achieve this, FarmzS­tory is setting up modern green­houses at schools. Installed in it: EC axial fans from ebm-papst to create the perfect air climate for growing vegeta­bles.»

Thanks to past energy improve­ment measures, the venti­lation system in the produc­tion building of a well-known compo­nent manu­fac­turer already complied with tech­nical stan­dards. Never­the­less, the building and facil­i­ties manager asked the special­ists at AIRnorm GmbH to take a look. Not only did they discover poten­tial energy savings of around 30 percent; one comment about system avail­ability trig­gered alarm bells for the customer.»

In 2024, Munich Airport recorded over 41 million passen­gers – an effi­cient infra­struc­ture is essen­tial. After more than 30 years, two venti­lation systems that venti­late connecting tunnels there­fore needed to be retro­fitted. The airport is now saving around 252,000 kWh of energy, has greater oper­a­tional reli­a­bility and is working towards its sustain­ability goals.»

With Demand-Controlled Venti­lation, you can uncover poten­tial savings, cut costs, and mini­mize the envi­ron­mental impact of the fans. At the same time, the air perfor­mance and quality, as well as the heating or cooling capacity of the rele­vant system, remains optimal.»

It makes your fan data visible and helps you to see not only that it is running, but how it is running – in real-time and clearly visu­al­ized.»

Being able to charge elec­tric vehi­cles as fast as fueling cars is a vision that is increas­ingly becoming a reality, thanks to compa­nies like ef cooling Ernst H. Furrer AG. Its liquid-cooled cables and heat exchangers deliver the power in high-power charging stations, helped by robust and weather-resis­­tant compact fans. »

Life outside our solar system. The first galaxies. The unex­plored, dark side of the universe. New find­ings about the evolu­tion of every­thing could soon come to light in 2028 when the Extremely Large Tele­scope posi­tioned in Chile, begins directing its 39-meter mirror into space. The laser systems, which are cooled by highly special­ized air handling units from OCRAM CLIMA, play a deci­sive role here. The air handling units are equipped with 28 FanGrid units from ebm-papst.»

When it comes to cooling, which is vital for data centers, an energy-conscious approach is essen­tial these days. Energy-effi­­cient fans with state-of-the-art EC tech­nology can help here. They must operate as quietly as possible and have a high level of avail­ability. Condi­tion moni­toring, for example, can enable preven­tive main­te­nance measures. »

Noise emis­sions directly impair people’s perfor­mance and health. This issue is a crucial factor, espe­cially indoors. There­fore, detecting and elim­i­nating the causes of noise in venti­lation systems can be a real game-changer. Quiet and effi­cient fans, such as those in the RadiPac series, also play their part. »

Mercedes-Benz is modern­izing the venti­lation system of its paint booths at its loca­tion in Argentina. As a result the car manu­fac­turer is ensuring the quality of its paint­work and protecting produc­tion from down­time.»

Vertical Farming is still in its infancy in many places, but if Artechno Growsys­tems has its way, this will soon change. The Dutch company invents and builds cells that grow lettuce, herbs and fruit in perfect condi­tions. »

Haglund Industri is a Swedish manu­fac­turer of refrig­er­ating appli­ances for the catering sector. In their new BRIS refrig­er­ator series, they exploit the phys­ical laws of convec­tion to reduce energy consump­tion through addi­tional air flows in the refrig­er­ator. Energy-saving fans from ebm-papst provide help here.»

Cooling towers, recog­nized as crucial cooling devices, find wide­spread use in indus­trial parks, urban complexes, and city centers. Beyond their cooling effi­ciency, energy consump­tion and reli­a­bility are indis­pens­able factors for eval­u­ating cooling tower perfor­mance. KINFIT, a promi­nent domestic manu­fac­turer of central air condi­tioning equip­ment, recently joined forces with ebm-papst to revamp the cooling tower systems at a semi­con­ductor facility.»

The FanScout helps with choosing the right fan solu­tion for a partic­ular appli­ca­tion. It is intu­itive to use and now works without instal­la­tion on the computer, simply on the web. Plan­ners and manu­fac­turers in air condi­tioning and venti­lation tech­nology profit from filters such as sustain­ability aspects, life cycle costs, and redun­dancy require­ments.»

To ensure that the fabrics of the Maison Deveaux weaving mill in Saint-Vincent-de-Reins, France, meet the highest stan­dards, the air quality must be just right. »

Frese­nius Kabi is working on its climate foot­print. Part of these efforts is a retrofit at the Uppsala site with more than 150 fans being replaced. This will deliver energy savings of 30 percent per year for the company. Thanks to the redun­dancy of the FanGrid solu­tion, the company no longer has to fear stop­pages costing hundreds of thou­sands of euros.»

In a care­fully planned and opti­mally prepared campaign, the leading Swiss dairy processor Emmi at its Suhr site, is replacing AC fans on 69 coolers with modern EC vari­ants, while they are still in oper­a­tion. Project manager Matthias Künzli is now delighted with the huge energy savings – and much more.»

The venti­lation system in the speed skating rink at Berlin’s Sport­forum sports complex still used old belt-driven fans. They consumed a lot of elec­tricity, made a lot of noise and if they failed, the entire system came to a stand­still. High time for an upgrade to effi­cient RadiPac fans.»

Completely replacing old venti­lation systems is time-consuming and costly. The retrofit project at a large furni­ture store in Dubai shows that there is a better solu­tion: EC fans in the form of a FanGrid and demand-based control.»

Compact fans and fans with a long duty cycle are oper­ated in refrig­er­ated display cases, refrig­er­ated cabi­nets and bottle coolers in super­mar­kets, as well as in large cold storage facil­i­ties. EC fans with their high effi­ciency levels are becoming increas­ingly popular in this field, not least because of rising energy costs. Intel­li­gent networking options can also simplify service and main­te­nance.»

Contin­uous cooling or freezing of goods in super­mar­kets’ sales and storage areas is essen­tial for quality assur­ance. Fans play a central role here, both in super­market cabi­nets for normal cooling and deep-freezing and in air condi­tioning systems in the super­market building.»
