How to Choose Cooling Fans for Different Industrial Equipment

Selection Details

Industrial Control Cabinets Consider ambient temperature, cabinet size, internal heat load, inlet/outlet locations and the resistance created by filters. AC 220 V axial fans or cabinet filter fans are common options depending on the system design. Automation Equipment Consider continuous operating time, available installation space and control requirements. Where the control system needs to monitor fan operation, DC fans with FG or RD signal functions can be considered. Power Supplies and Electronic Equipment These applications often have tighter requirements for dimensions, airflow and noise. Different DC axial fan sizes can be selected according to the internal heat-sink and airflow-path design. Energy Storage and Electrical Equipment Fan selection should consider equipment power, ambient temperature, airflow resistance and long-term operating requirements. The required protection level should also be evaluated according to the actual environment.
