Smart Fans for Smarter White Goods
SMART FANS FOR SMARTER WHITE GOODS Today, AC and DC fans have more demands placed on them than simply cooling and controlling airflow in white good applications. From refrigeration and freezer units to convection ovens and stove range venting ducts, white good manufacturers require high performance, energy-efficient fans and fan trays that feature speed control, […]
How to Choose the Best Motorized Impeller or Blower
Energy-efficiency is one of the most important performance specifications for fan and blower manufacturers. In a 2011 report to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, ENERGY STAR estimated that there were more than one-million commercial kitchen ventilation systems installed in the U.S alone. In the same report, the Department of Energy (DOE) estimated that […]
Keep a Cool Head When Sourcing Fans
Fan technologies enable electronics to perform at peak specifications. Unfortunately, thermal management is often a design afterthought, which can create problems when sourcing, selecting and implementing an effective cooling solution. To extend the operating life of vital electronics, a fan should provide appropriate thermal management. Purchasers may need to consider application demands, from reduced size […]
When to Use Motorized Impellers
Energy efficiency is of ever-increasing importance in today’s world. According to a U.S. Department of Energy report in 2011, approximately 6.5 percent of the primary electricity consumption is used by commercial and industrial fans, blowers and fume hoods. Replacing such equipment with more advanced energy-efficient options would result in a substantial reduction in energy usage […]
EC Fans Save More Than Energy
Energy conservation is of ever increasing importance in today’s world. The U.S. Department of Energy has determined that about 25% of the primary energy consumption in the residential and commercial sectors is used by electric motor-driven systems and components in appliances and equipment. Replacing existing equipment with advanced energy-efficient motors results in a substantial reduction […]
