When we compare an elec\u00adtron\u00adi\u00adcally commu\u00adtated EC motor with an elec\u00adtric motor driven by an alter\u00adnating current (AC) one thing becomes evident: The EC motor has a greater energy-saving poten\u00adtial. An EC motor in combi\u00adna\u00adtion with a fan has a higher effi\u00adciency level, safes energy and protects the envi\u00adron\u00adment. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s compare a light bulb and a modern LED. The LED saves 90 percent in terms of energy, which is good for the envi\u00adron\u00adment, and good for your wallet. The same applies to elec\u00adtric motors in fans. With the same air perfor\u00admance, the EC fan is not only more compact and lighter \u2013 its higher effi\u00adciency level makes it much more effi\u00adcient than the AC fan. Its true energy-saving poten\u00adtial can be seen when several fans work together. AC fans usually have two states: on and off. If you want less air flow, you have to deac\u00adti\u00advate a few fans. EC fans are infi\u00adnitely adjustable. If you want less air flow, you can run all the fans more slowly. And this is where the magic happens. Let\u2019s say we want 50 percent air flow. We switch off half of the AC fans and save half the energy. We control the EC fans at half speed. And since fans consume expo\u00adnen\u00adtially more energy under top load, we can thereby save 87 percent of the energy. Almost as much as with the LED bulb.<\/p>\n
And, as with the LED, the higher procure\u00adment costs pay for them\u00adselves in a short time.
\nThat\u2019s why, if you want to save, you should change over to modern EC fans \u2013 and you can play your part in protecting the envi\u00adron\u00adment at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
