Fan-and-filter units

Using the same diagonal fan technology as the standard variant, Rittal’s TopTherm EC fan-and-filter unit can provide improved performance against static pressure, offering a more constant air throughput and energy savings in excess of 60 % over previous models. Rittal says compliance with ongoing energy efficiency guidelines can be met and exceeded by using EC motors. Intelligent control and fan status monitoring is available for larger units.

Direct monitoring of fan speed is via a tacho-signal output with a malfunction or failure signal, prompting immediately action, minimising the risk of component failure in the enclosure.

  • Why does misalignment add to energy consumption in industrial fans? 

    The root causes of misalignment in fans are bent or incorrectly installed shafts and worn bearings. These result in vibration, noise and heat, which effectively wastes energy. Misaligned shafts also increase the load on motors, requiring increased power consumption from the motor to generate the additional turning effort required to rotate the shaft.
