Small Industrial Cooling Fan Manufacturer & Selection Guide

Deqing Jiefeng Electric Co., Ltd. (JIEFENGFAN) is a manufacturer specializing in the R&D, production and sales of industrial axial fans and ventilation cooling products. Our product range covers AC axial fans, DC axial fans, EC fans, centrifugal fans, external rotor fans, and cabinet ventilation filter products, suitable for industrial control cabinets, automation equipment, power supplies, telecom equipment, energy storage systems, refrigeration equipment, and other industrial equipment requiring forced ventilation cooling.

When purchasing industrial cooling fans, don't just look at the overall dimensions. Installation size, rated voltage, airflow, static pressure, speed, noise, operating temperature, protection rating, control features, and duct resistance all affect the final selection.

1. Common Industrial Cooling Fan Sizes

JIEFENGFAN's industrial axial fans cover a wide range of standard sizes, including:

JF8025, JF8038, JF9225, JF9238, JF11025, JF12025, JF12038, JF13532, JF15050, JF17243, JF17251, JF17255, JF18060, JF20060, JF22060, JF22580, JF25489, JF28080

Different sizes are available in AC, DC or EC versions. Please refer to individual product pages and specifications for details.

The numbers in the model name typically indicate the approximate frame size. For example, 12038 usually means approximately 120×120×38mm; 17251 usually means approximately 172×150×51mm. Due to variations in frame, mounting holes and structure, please refer to the specific product drawing for final installation dimensions.

2. How to Choose Between AC, DC and EC Cooling Fans?

AC Axial Fans

Suitable for industrial equipment that directly uses AC power. Common power supply is AC220V/230V; other voltages are available depending on model and project requirements. AC axial fans are a common choice for continuous ventilation applications in industrial control cabinets, machinery, and electrical equipment.

DC Axial Fans

Suitable for DC-powered equipment. Common voltages include DC12V, DC24V, and DC48V. Some models offer PWM speed control, FG tachometer signal, and RD running/alarm signals, making them ideal for automation, power supplies, telecom, energy storage, and equipment requiring status monitoring.

EC Fans

EC fans use electronically commutated technology, combining the convenience of AC power input with electronic control capability in suitable applications. When energy efficiency, speed control or advanced control features are required, choose EC based on actual power supply and airflow/pressure requirements.

3. What Parameters Should You Confirm Before Purchasing?

Parameter Why It Matters
Installation Size Determines if the fan fits your equipment
Rated Voltage Confirm power supply conditions (AC220V, DC24V, etc.)
Airflow (CFM/m³/h) Determines air exchange capacity per unit time
Static Pressure (mmH₂O/Pa) Ability to overcome filter, heatsink and duct resistance
Speed (RPM) Related to airflow, pressure and noise performance
Noise (dBA) Critical for noise-sensitive applications
Operating Temperature Determines suitability for equipment operating environment
Protection Rating (IP) Required for dusty or humid environments
Control / Signals Such as PWM, FG, RD, etc.
Wiring & Mounting Confirm leads, terminals and mounting method

4. What's the Difference Between Airflow and Static Pressure?

Airflow measures the volume of air delivered by the fan per unit time. Static pressure measures the fan's ability to push air against system resistance. When the equipment interior is open with low resistance, airflow is the primary concern. If there are filters, heatsinks, dense components, narrow ducts or long ventilation paths, both airflow and static pressure need to be considered.

5. How to Choose Cooling Fans for Different Industrial Equipment?

Industrial control cabinets need to be selected based on cabinet size, internal heat generation, ambient temperature, air inlet/outlet position and filter resistance. Automation equipment also needs consideration of continuous running time and control requirements. Power, telecom and electronic equipment typically focus on size, airflow, noise and signal features. Energy storage and electrical equipment require comprehensive consideration of long-term operation, ambient temperature, protection and duct conditions.

6. How to Choose Between 80mm, 120mm and 172mm Fans?

Don't decide fan size based only on equipment dimensions. First confirm available installation space, heat generation, allowable temperature rise, target airflow, system resistance and power supply type. If only 120mm space is available, compare 12025 vs 12038. If higher airflow or pressure is needed, then evaluate 150mm, 172mm, 200mm and other sizes.

7. What's the Difference Between 12038 and 12025?

12038 and 12025 have similar front mounting dimensions but different thickness. 12038 is approximately 38mm thick, 12025 is approximately 25mm thick. Due to differences in motor, impeller, frame and speed, the two also differ significantly in airflow, pressure, noise and power. Don't simply assume "thicker is always better" — choose based on equipment resistance and cooling requirements.

8. How to Choose an Industrial Cooling Fan Manufacturer?

Does the manufacturer have clear, traceable model numbers?
Can they provide product specifications and technical drawings?
Are key parameters clearly labeled (voltage, airflow, pressure, speed)?
Do they offer multiple sizes and AC/DC/EC options?
Can they provide selection support based on your equipment and environment?
For long-term projects, can they maintain product consistency and stable supply?

Custom requirements for voltage, functions, structure and other features need to be confirmed based on existing product models and project requirements. Please provide installation size, voltage, airflow/pressure, operating environment and control feature requirements when inquiry.

What's the difference between airflow and static pressure?
Airflow is the volume of air delivered by the fan per unit time. Static pressure is the fan's ability to push air against system resistance. When equipment interior is open with low resistance, airflow is the primary concern. If there are filters, heatsinks, dense components or narrow ducts, both airflow and static pressure need to be considered.

What's the difference between 12038 and 12025?
They have similar front mounting dimensions but different thickness: 12038 is approximately 38mm thick, 12025 is approximately 25mm thick. Due to differences in motor, impeller, frame and speed, they also differ significantly in airflow, pressure, noise and power. Choose based on equipment resistance and cooling requirements.

How to choose between AC, DC and EC cooling fans?
AC fans are suitable for AC-powered equipment (typically AC220V/230V). DC fans are suitable for DC-powered equipment (typically DC12V/24V/48V) with PWM/FG/RD options. EC fans use electronically commutated technology, combining AC power convenience with electronic control capability, ideal for energy-saving and speed-control applications.

How to choose between 80mm, 120mm and 172mm fans?
First confirm available installation space, heat generation, allowable temperature rise, target airflow, system resistance and power supply type. If only 120mm space is available, compare 12025 vs 12038. If higher airflow or pressure is needed, then evaluate 150mm, 172mm, 200mm and other sizes.
