Extra-Flat Fan for Heavy-Duty Applications

July 27, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

ebm-papst will be presenting its new, energy-efficient solutions for commercial vehicle air conditioning, including its new and especially flat axial fan for air conditioning in vehicle cabs at the IAA Commercial Vehicles, in Hanover from September 22 to 29, 2016, in Hall 11 at Stand D07.

The latest innovation being shown at the ebm-papst stand is the size 250 axial fan with an especially flat design only 50 mm high that sets new standards in packaging. The fan housing has four attachment points by which the fan can be fastened with screws as usual. A new addition is a bayonet fitting with which the fan can be easily mounted on a bracket or other fixture.

The fan housing’s symmetrical design gives customers more flexibility for installation and allows the fan to be used easily for both airflow directions. A guard grille can be clicked into place without increasing the fan’s height and without additional hardware.

The new fan also features a low weight thanks to its high composite content, reducing vehicle weight and saving fuel. It is dustproof and resistant to high-pressure cleaners, complying with the requirements for IP6K9K, a high degree of protection. It is designed for air conditioning in the cabs of off-road vehicles as well as for cabins in conventional street vehicles. The new fan will be available in 60W and 120W versions starting in fall 2016.
