Why choose an EC fan?
Compared to traditional AC motor fans, an EC fan offers tangible advantages you’ll see directly in operation:
- Up to 50% lower energy consumption thanks to variable speed operation
- Integrated electronics — no separate frequency inverter required
- Quiet operation through precise speed control
- Easy control via 0–10V signal, PWM or Modbus
- High reliability and long service life due to minimal wear
- Suitable for continuous duty in demanding environments
For installations where the fan doesn’t need to run at full capacity at all times — which in practice is almost always the case — an EC fan delivers structural savings. Not only in energy costs, but also in maintenance.
Applications of EC fans
EC fans are used across a wide range of industrial and technical environments. A selection of the most common applications:
- Air handling units (AHUs)
- Data centre and server room cooling
- Industrial refrigeration and heat pumps
- Condensers and dryers
- Ventilation systems in commercial buildings
- Climate control in greenhouses and agriculture
- Process ventilation in production environments
- OEM applications and machine building

Please note: the products listed on this page are a representative selection — not a complete overview. If your required type, size or specification isn’t shown, that doesn’t mean it isn’t available. Get in touch and we’ll explore the options together.
Custom solutions are not the exception for us — they are everyday practice. Think specific connection dimensions, special material specifications, adapted electrical connections or integrated controls. We supply EC fans that fit perfectly in your installation.
Technical specification — what matters?
When selecting an EC fan, the following parameters are decisive:
- Airflow volume (m³/h or m³/s)
- Static or total pressure (Pa)
- Installation dimensions and connection sizes
- Supply voltage (e.g. 230V or 400V)
- Control via 0–10V, PWM or Modbus/BACnet
- Ambient temperature and protection class (IP rating)
- Noise level (dB(A))
- Required IE class or ErP compliance
