Which Fans are Best for Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems?

Air conditioning and ventilation systems are essential for creating and maintaining a comfortable environment in offices and homes.
Fans play a crucial role in air conditioning and ventilation systems, and selecting the right fan for each application is essential.
This article explains the characteristics required of fans for air conditioning and ventilation, practical examples of how they are used in office environments, and the different types of fans used in these systems.

1. Fans Used in Office Air Conditioning and Ventilation

This section outlines the typical applications of fans in office environments.

2. Key Characteristics of Fans for Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems

Low Noise Performance

Low noise performance is one of the most important factors in air conditioning and ventilation systems for offices and homes.
Offices require a quiet environment to support focused work. When fans are too noisy, they can negatively impact efficiency and contribute to stress.
Selecting fans with excellent low-noise performance ensures a quiet and productive workspace.

Waterproof Performance

Ventilation systems in moisture-rich areas, such as window frames and bathrooms, require fans with water resistance.
Using Splash Proof Fans ensures safe operation in wet environments and improves system reliability.

Splash Proof Blower

Featuring superior waterproof and dustproof capabilities, this blower provides high static pressure, making it suitable for intake and exhaust applications in systems with significant airflow resistance.

Waterproof Performance

Compliant with IP68 protection rating for waterproof and dustproof performance.

High static pressure

Well-suited for intake and exhaust applications in systems with significant ventilation resistance.

Reversible Flow Fan

PWM control enables precise adjustment of airflow direction and speed, including reverse operation. A single unit can switch airflow direction, contributing to cost reduction and space savings.

Airflow direction	Rotational speed [min-1]	maximum airflow [m3/min]	maximum static pressure [Pa]	Noise level [dB(A)]	Power consumption [W]
Positive direction	5,450	2.10	285	49	3.0
Reverse direction	5,450	2.05	280	52	3.0
