Engineered for digital connectivity
applications with massive data demands, these revolutionary fans
deliver the performance of a counter-rotating fan — and up to 50%
better air performance than the best single-stage compact axial
fans on the market — with significant power efficiency improvements
and 6–12dB(A) less noise.
FORT
WORTH, Texas, Sept. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RS, a trading brand of RS Group
plc (LSE: RS1), a global provider of industrial product and service
solutions, is stocking the revolutionary new DiaForce 120mm
diagonal compact fans from ebm-papst. The new DiaForce fans feature
an innovative design that combines the high airflow volume of an
axial fan with the high static pressure capabilities of a
centrifugal fan. This inventive combination delivers the high
performance of counter-rotating axial fans with less noise and
significant power efficiency improvements to satisfy the
challenging cooling demands of evolving digital connectivity
applications.
ebm-papst DiaForce fans deliver up to 50%
more air performance than the best single-stage compact axial fans
available.
Developed to meet the ambitious specifications of a well-known
electronics giant looking to cool its next-generation AI
servers, ebm-papst's new DiaForce fans deliver up to 50% more
air performance than the best single-stage compact axial fans
currently on the market while generating 6–12dB(A) less noise. They
also offer a significant reduction in power, less mechanical
vibration, and a smaller and lower-profile footprint.
DiaForce diagonal compact fans feature an aerodynamically
optimized design with unique impeller, housing, and inlet nozzle
geometries; a larger outlet than intake opening with optimized
guide vanes for higher pressure increase; a conical cover plate
that rotates with the impeller; and a high-efficiency,
state-of-the-art GreenTech DC motor. Air flows through the fans in
both an axial and radial direction. Combining the key benefits of
each design generates a higher static pressure than standard axial
fans can provide while maintaining the quick and easy-to-install
axial form. The DiaForce blade tips pass directly into the cover
plate which eliminates tip gap and alleviates turbulence in the gap
area (where there's a considerable pressure gradient), resulting in
significant noise reductions that deliver the quietest performance
of any fan with this power density.
Thanks to this unique design and the outstanding performance it
enables, DiaForce fans can replace the larger, noisier, less
efficient, and less integration-friendly counter-rotating fans
commonly used to cool densely packed electronics in chassis. They
can also create redundancies not possible with conventional
single-stage fans that have to operate at their power limit to
deliver adequate cooling and provide future-proof solutions for
servers that manage massive amounts of data. Ideal applications
include server, base station, mass storage, and cabinet cooling as
well as autonomous and AI technologies and 5G and IoT networks.
The new DiaForce diagonal compact fans from ebm-papst are
currently available in a 120mm footprint that measures 119 x
119 x 86mm (L x W x H), moves airflow volumes of 680m3/h or 400cfm, consumes 395W of
power, exhibits 48% overall efficiency, and has a nominal voltage
of 48VDC with a range of 36–60VDC, a nominal speed of 17,200rpm,
and operating temperatures extending from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to
+158°F). However, this is just the first of multiple DiaForce fan
releases; 40mm, 60mm, and 80mm models are in active development and
expected to be released to market in the coming year.
Additional features of DiaForce compact diagonal fans include a
state-of-the art motor, advanced integrated and optional
functionalities, a convenient form factor, optional diagnostic
tools, and compliance with all regulatory standards.
- DiaForce fans have a compact, 500W, three-core GreenTech DC
motor engineered to drive substantial energy savings, dynamically
balance the impeller, and deliver a long service life. They are
also equipped with cooling openings that dissipate heat from the
ball bearings to improve thermal management and made without rare
earth metals for improved sustainability.
- Integrated functions include locked-rotor protection for
improved safety, output signals proportional to motor speed, and
speed control capabilities with multi-option control input.
Optional functions include go/no-go and speed limit alarms,
internal and external temperature sensors, analog control input,
and moisture protection.
- The series features a compact form factor with an
industry-standard assembly geometry and supports quick and easy
installation via four mounting holes on both the inlet and outlet
sides.
- The optional FanCheck GreenIntelligence diagnostic tool enables
maximum efficiency, intelligent networking capabilities, and
numerous monitoring and control functions while also calculating
the realistic service life of the fan based on its operating speed,
temperature, and preset environmental parameters. These
capabilities support predictive maintenance strategies, reduce
equipment downtime and associated costs, extend equipment
lifetimes, and deliver clear, competitive advantages for the
interconnection and intelligent control of fans, drives, and
systems.
- DiaForce fans are also compliant with all regulatory standards
including NEBS, OSHA, ANSI, and ETSI.
