FanGrids in data centers and large HVAC systems
Your perfectly designed air conditioning control center
Data centers face the major challenge of meeting the growing demand for computing power while ensuring it is available around the clock. The higher server density generates enormous heat loads. Continuous, powerful yet energy-efficient cooling is therefore essential.
Air handling units (AHUs), such as those on the roofs of large buildings, also have to move large volumes of air, often over long distances, as efficiently and reliably as possible.
The solution is FanGrids, i.e., many small fans that work together in parallel operation, side by side and on top of each other.
They have decisive advantages
over large single fans:
The modular design principle enables customized solutions with virtually unlimited air volumes.
If one fan fails, the others compensate for the missing air volume.
FanGrid modules with EC technology from ebm-papst can significantly reduce operating costs.
Multiple adjustable fans can be better adapted to the actual air performance required, which increases efficiency at every operating point.
Several small fans take up less space and are lighter than a single large fan. This reduces the cost of the system and makes replacement easy.
