AC axial fans

8 February 2012 Circuit & System Protection

Orion Fans has developed a new line of ‘green’ AC fans with a smart thermal control. Designated the OA109AP111TB03 (TEMP Control) series, the axial fans feature a ball-bearing design, measure 120 x 120 x 38 mm and provide airflows of 63,3 to 96,7 CFM.

Similar in function to DC smart fans, the TEMP Control series’ smart thermal control reduces power consumption by increasing or decreasing fan speed according to the ambient air temperature but only requires a simple AC input rather than additional power supply requirements for a DC fan. This results in up to 30% energy savings over similar sized, single-speed fans. An added bonus is that the overall noise profile is reduced, enabling the fans to be used in environments where low noise is desirable.

The fans feature a ball-bearing system, impedance and thermally protected motor, and aluminium alloy frame with a UL94V-0 plastic impeller. The fans are provided with AWG #22 lead wires specified to UL1430 standards. Rated power for the series ranges from 9 W to 19,6 W at 115 V. Rated speeds range from 1200 to 2500 RPM, with noise levels of 23 1 to 43 8 dB and an operating temperature range from -10°C to +70°C.
