EC fans

EC fans, which have been on the market for several years, represent the future due to the enormous technical and economic advantages offered by this technology, namely:

1. Adjustment No inverter-controlled or phase-cut AC motor can go down to such a low rpm. A major advantage especially for all season processing plants and night operations.
2. No risk of abnormal vibrations at low rpm.
3. Direct relation, in terms of energy consumption, between the lower rpm and the containment of power used. In other words, the EC fan uses less energy when it slows down. A logical relation not fully guaranteed by AC solutions with adjustment.
4. Average life not affected by adjustment. Unlike AC motors which, although of excellent quality, have a shortened life span if adjusted by phase cut, the adjustment, even with highly variable rates, does not affect the durability or reliability of the fan with an EC motor.
5. A single code for two frequencies, different voltages and two markets. The EC fan ranges from 380 to 460 V, 50/60 Hz and CE certification, as well as UL-CSA.
6. Rapid payback. The EC fan, especially on types with 800-900 mm diameters, has a rapid payback and gives a return on investment in ten years around twice its value.
7. Less bulky electrical panel due to the elimination of the regulator.
8. No additional cost for shielded cable.
