Orion Fans has developed a new 6-inch AC fan series with smart thermal controls. A new addition to the OA172 series, the temperature controlled smart AC axial fans feature a ball bearing design that delivers airflows of 105 to 200 CFM with significantly reduced noise levels of 37,5 to 50,8 dB.
Similar in function to Orion’s DC smart fans, the OA172 series’ smart thermal control reduces power consumption by increasing or decreasing fan speed according to the ambient air temperature. This results in up to 30% energy savings versus similar sized single-speed fans. In addition, the 6-inch fan only requires a simple AC input, rather than additional power supply requirements for a DC fan.
Measuring 172 x 51 mm, the fans feature an impedance- and thermally-protected motor, and an aluminium alloy frame with a UL94V-0 plastic impeller. The fans are provided with AWG #18, UL1015 lead wires.
The OA172 series fans are available in shaved side and round frames in both 120 V a.c. and 230 V a.c. Rated power ranges from 20 W to 32 W at 115 V, and rated speeds range from 1600 to 2600 RPM. The fans feature an operating temperature range from -10°C to +70°C.
