Coming Soon - RadiCal defines new standards for centrifugal fans.

Now, after the successful market launch of the HyBlade axial fans, the energy-efficient "RadiCal" fans from ebm-papst are defining new standards in the centrifugal field of ventilation and air-conditioning technology.

Like the HyBlades the fan blades of the RadiCal fans are designed with a dimensionally stable, hybrid construction. Their aerodynamically optimized shape reduces noise by 50%. The motors of these fans have been miniaturized, making them much more compact than their predecessors. With these current dimensions, an easy mechanical replacement of existing AC solutions is possible any time and without a hitch.

The design of the motor heat management system is also optimized. The stator is completely encapsulated in a high-performance plastic. Air inlets in the rotor guarantee perfected heat dissipation for the motor, which in turn increases efficiency considerably. The high level of IP protection allows these fans to be implemented in critical applications.

In terms of efficiency, the RadiCal fans already surpass the new EuP Directives for electrically powered fans, which are soon to become legal requirements. With these, up to 50% less energy consumption can be achieved in comparison to AC solutions, with the noise behavior decreased by one-half.

The good dampening behavior of the plastic also helps to reduce noise emissions. Even without special varnish, the impellers are highly corrosion-resistant, for example if exposed to salt water or salty air. Direct solar radiation has no damaging effects on the UV-resistant material.

To reduce the already low installation effort even further, the new fans can be purchased on request as ready-to-install modules. The new centrifugal fans will first be available in sizes 133 to 250 with drive outputs between 35 and 170 W and in size 500 with three different EC motors with drive outputs of 500 W, 1 kW and 3 kW. This opens up possible applications in many areas of ventilation and air-conditioning technology, such as in control cabinet cooling, in-line duct fans, home ventilation units or heat pumps. In all of these applications, it is pays off to switch to high-efficiency RadiCal fans or to take advantage of this state-of-the-art, energy-saving technology from the start.

ebm-papst Inc. is pleased to announce an extension to the S-Force generation of Tubeaxial Fans, Series 2200 FTD.  It is 27% thinner and produces 30% higher air flow than existing 200mm fans currently available on the market.  The 2200FTD fan has 65% higher cooling density and lower noise than comparable fans of the same size.   The 2200FTD fan is currently available in a 48 VDC model, for use in IT/Telcom, cabinet cooling, automation and printing, inverters and alternative energy applications. Contact ebm-papst Inc. today for more information. 

The premix-ready gas blower market started in small BTU sizes and it has consistently gotten more powerful, rising from a top of 2.5 million BTUs, to 3 million BTU’s, and now soon-to-be introduced models will reach 4 million BTUs.  One new trend in premix-ready gas blowers is an integrated power factor controller that can compensate for voltage fluctuations by delivering constant motor performance within a specified voltage range.

ebm-papst introduces the MegaWatt blower, model G3G250-MW.  It can provide heat outputs up to 1MW or 4-million BTUs.  The blower uses a 3-phase brushless DC motor that accepts AC voltage input and then rectifies it inernally to DC voltage.  It has a low-voltage speed-control circuit that accepts either PWM or a 0 ~ 10 VAC signal.  According to Costello, the MegaWatt is going to be available in two voltage ranges:  200 ~ 240 VAC, and 380 ~ 480 VAC.  Both models will feature a power factor controller so the operation of the motor will remain constant regardless of the voltage.
