Efficient and reliable
fans for railway technology

Forward-looking rail technology starts with proper air duct design

ebm‑papst is a leading supplier of fans for use in train air conditioners and for inverter cooling in the rail industry. ebm‑papst’s fan solutions for trains, subways, and trams are characterized by high efficiency, low noise, precise control, long service life, high reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility.

Our fans are also robust and well-protected against corrosion, shock, vibrations, and the challenges posed by temperature fluctuations. This ensures safe and stable air conditioning and equipment cooling even under harsh environmental conditions.

Solving challenges
in railway technology with our fans

ebm‑papst fan solutions withstand challenges such as pressure stress from road damage and vibrations without compromising performance.

Salt spray, UV radiation, moisture, chemicals, and dust quickly damage unprotected components. Our fans feature corrosion-resistant coatings and materials.

Potential weaknesses are identified through "Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT)," ensuring that our fans remain robust and reliable even under demanding operating conditions.

Low, high, and rapidly changing temperatures cause thermal stress in vehicle ventilation systems. However, our products ensure reliable and consistent performance.

Moisture affects electronic systems, especially in exposed or poorly ventilated areas. Our fans operate reliably even in wet conditions.

In the electronics of modern vehicles, interference must be avoided. Our fan solutions are EMC-compliant and ensure stable operation.
