Radial Fan System for Electronics Cooling

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Ziehl-Abegg will be launching an innovative Radial Fan System for electronics cooling and controlled domestic ventilation. The prototypes of the ZApilot had been showcased at a leading trade fair in Italy. The new ZApilot system is up to ten percent more efficient than products currently available on the market.

 

ZApilot meets all the normal market standards for installation dimensions and mounting points.The integrated inlet nozzle includes mounting lugs for attaching a suction side grille.  Nevertheless, the development engineers have managed to achieve a marked improvement in efficiency. The spacers on the air outlet are normally in the way: this causes unnecessary losses.

 

An application has already been made to register a patent for the new development, ZApilot. In the case of standard installation systems the compound material housing reduces the fan’s efficacy, whereas the use of ZApilot achieves an increase in efficiency.

 

The design of ZApilot is meticulous down to the smallest detail. The cable management has also been optimised: fixing channels have been integrated into the compound material housing in a way that protects the cable from damage. This enables the cable to be laid to the back as well as the front. To avoid the unnecessary use of material the structure of the system has been implemented using a biomimetic lightweight design: similar to the construction of honeycombs.
