IP55 fan-filters

17 November 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services Information Security

Elen Enclosures has widened its program of enclosure and cabinet cooling accessories by adding the FPF range of Fandis fan-filters and exhaust filters.

The full range comprises 10 basic models that deliver free air flows from 23-650 m³/hr. Physical sizes are 105 x 105, 204 x 204, 250 x 250 and 325 x 325 mm. Standard voltage is 230 V/50 Hz but 115 V/50/60 Hz, 3-phase 400 V and 24 or 48 V d.c. versions are available on request.

The fan motors have long-lasting shielded ball bearings. Installation is quick as only a square cutout is required and the fan-filter simply clips in. Where vibration is a problem units can be secured with screws. The range is supplemented by matching exhaust/inlet filter grilles and filter media is self-extinguishing and washable.

Standard air flow is from outside into the enclosure (keeping the enclosure at positive pressure) but extractor fans are also available.
