RadiFlow fan offers advantages for HVAC units

GERMANY: The new RadiFlow 630mm diameter fan is said to offer high airflow rates, significantly improved efficiency in the application, and an exceptionally compact design.

Manufacturer EBM Papst insists that the new fan opens up new possibilities for manufacturers of HVAC units, CRAH units and fan wall units – especially in data centres.

The RadiFlow 630 was specifically developed for applications with low to medium back pressure. Thanks to the axial flow, high airflow rates are said to be achieved even in narrow air ducts. 

In FanGrid concepts, EBM Papst says that the fan design enables more efficient use of space as well as significant space savings.

At the heart of the concept is a newly developed impeller made of glass-fibre-reinforced composite material. The diagonal impeller with six blades reduces flow losses, resulting in up to 10% higher efficiency compared to similar models, especially in the lower speed range, the company claims.
