What the Tech!? Video knowledge by ebm-papst
AC or EC motors? Compact fans? Planetary gearboxes? These and other questions from the ebm-papst universe are explained in the “What The Tech?!” videos.
A series for inquisitive people, for technology enthusiasts or anyone who also wonders why not all motors are the same and what requirements our changing world has for the technology of tomorrow.
Every two weeks, there will be a new, exciting explanatory video from the world of air and drive technology.
What the Tech: Why are air handling units (AHUs) important for a healthy indoor climate?
Air Handling Units are crucial for Indoor climates. And the Indoor climates are determining whether people feel good. Each person breathes about 15,000 liters of air every day. So it’s extremely important to ensure that air is properly heated, cooled, humidified and dehumidified. Air handling units, or AHUs for short, make all of this possible. »

What the Tech: How do you replace a defective fan?
In order for a part to function as a whole, parts that are damaged must be replaced. When a fan breaks down, it must be replaced: A retrofit, i.e. a fan replacement in ventilation systems is necessary. »
What the Tech: Ventilation systems for air exchange according to demand
Air exchange is absolutely necessary with insulating windows in order to regulate air humidity. This is possible with centralized and decentralized ventilation systems.»
What the Tech: What are the casic components of an electric ventilation system?
For a flow machine to be able to generate air flow, a fan needs a number of important components. No matter whether an axial, centrifugal, diagonal, or tangential impeller is used, the fan is driven by an electric motor.»
What the Tech: Smart Home: Are data driven buildings our future?
A smart home collects digital data and connects your appliances and other electronic devices with each other, so you can control them remotely. But the valuable information provided by the data has not yet been fully exploited!»
What the Tech: How will a retrofit increase the efficiency and durability of your ventilation unit?
An old ventilation system doesn't have to be replaced straight away. Often it can't be, because there's too little space or it costs too much. But how will a retrofit help solve these problems?»
What The Tech: How to maintain fans according to demand?
Predictive maintenance helps to ensure a long service life for fans. How exactly does this work, and how do you get the necessary data?»
What The Tech: Is vertical farming the future of modern agriculture?
Expanding cities need space to grow food. And that is exactly what is dwindling as the population grows. Could vertical farming be a solution for this problem?»
What The Tech: What is the difference between Direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC)
Both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) describe types of current flow in a circuit. Both are essential to enable the functioning of our electronics, but do you know the difference between direct current and alternating current?»
What The Tech: How do you keep data centers cool?
When you process a lot of data, you need data centers. But that much data can really make the system overheat. It takes a lot of cooling and a lot of money to pay for it. So is there a cheaper, less energy-intensive way to keep your hot data cool?»
What The Tech: Securing e-mobility with green energy?
Due to climate change, electromobility is becoming increasingly important, the number of electric vehicles is also increasing rapidly. Therefore, it makes sense that the electricity used for them should come from renewable energy sources. But what kind of renewable energy sources do we have and how important are wind power plants?»
What The Tech: What to consider during installation of ventilators?
When do installation errors occur? And which parameters should be considered when installing fans? Here you will learn more about the installation parameters of fans and what to consider.»
What The Tech: How do heat pumps work?
A heat pump provides heat, but is also capable of cooling your home. It transfers heat from one place to another by different air or heat sources. Find out about the exact working principle of a heat pump here.»
What The Tech: What’s the difference between servo and stepper motors?
Does a stepper motor or a servo motor suits the needs of your application best? And what are exactly the differences between a servo motor and a stepper motor? Lets find it out together.»
What The Tech: What are compact fans and what is their advantage?
When space is limited, there is often no other solution: A compact fan that takes up little space and still delivers the necessary performance is needed.»
What The Tech: What is a planetary gear and how does it work?
Of course, planetary gears don't drive planets. It's called that because like in our solar system, everything revolves around the sun gear, the drive at the center.»
What The Tech: The working principle of brushed motors and brushless motors
This video explains the working principle of brushed motors and brushless motors.»
What The Tech: Why use a FanGrid?
Minimize the wear, noise and energy consumption of your ventilation system by using the FanGrid technology.»
What The Tech: How do fans deal with vibration and resonance?
Resonance is key for a smoothly operating fan. But, unfortunately, resonance can cause damage. That's how fans can handle resonance and vibration.»
What The Tech: How do air filter systems provide clean air?
Understanding the basic principles of air filter systems is key to develop better and more efficient ways to provide clean air. But how do you clean air? And what does clean air actually mean? »
What The Tech: Higher efficiency = better performance?
Does higher efficiency also mean better performance? Not necessarily. Ultimately, it depends on the application and installation location of axial and centrifugal fans.»
What The Tech: What is the difference between internal and external rotor motors?
There are different motors and in this video we look at the difference between internal and external rotor motors.»
What The Tech: The importance of frequencies for high-performance fans and motors
Why does a fan need a frequency converter? Why is it important? And how does it work?»
What The Tech: Is an EC motor more energy efficient than an AC motor?
When we compare an electronically commutated motor with an electric motor driven by an alternating current one thing becomes evident: The EC motor has a greater energy-saving potential.»
What The Tech: How does an electronically commutated EC motor work?
