Tongchi teaches you how to select the cooling fan

When choosing a cooling fan, it is not a random choice. There are steps. You need to choose step by step according to the steps before you can finally determine the type and model of the cooling fan you want. What are the steps for fan selection? Tongchi teaches you a six-step selection method for cooling fans. I hope you can choose the cooling fan you want through these six steps.

u003cbru003e Step 1: Determine the operating voltage of the fan

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e The general cooling fan voltages are: 12V, 24V, 48V. After the voltage is determined, you can determine whether you need an AC AC cooling fan, a DC DC cooling fan, or an EC fan. The characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of each type are as follows:

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Features of Axial Fan: In and Out of Wind in the same direction

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Features of centrifugal fan: 90 degrees in and out of wind, large air volume, high wind pressure

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Features of the blower: the inlet and outlet wind is 90 degrees, the air volume is small, and the air pressure is high

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Step 3: Confirm the air volume and pressure

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Reference value: operating point, static value, PQ curve, speed, noise, current

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Step 4: Determine the basic model parameters of the fan

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Basic parameters; brand, model, size, voltage, current, speed, air volume, wind pressure, noise

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Step 5: Confirm the fan bearing and IP protection level

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Bearing type: oil bearing, hydraulic bearing, ball bearing

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Bearing life: oil-impregnated bearing: 30000H/25°

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003eHydraulic bearing: 30000H/40 degree

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Ball bearing: 50000H/40 degrees

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e IP protection level: IP55: paint-proof can meet, can be waterproof, IP67: rain and water column can be protected IP68: can work in rain

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Step 6: Confirm function and installation

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Fan function selection: FG speed measurement function, RD alarm function, PWM speed control function, self-start function

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Cooling fan installation; fan frame, lead, terminal, wire sequence

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Fan frame: The through-hole lock screw must be selected, the fan frame with connecting post.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Leads: Leads are divided, paralleled, twisted, and separated by default. The length of the lead is from outside the frame to the terminal.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Terminal; commonly used terminal models: HX2.54, PH2.0, 2510, aircraft first.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e After the above six steps, you have completed the selection of your cooling fan. After the selection is completed, the cooling fan manufacturer will make a product specification for you. After confirming that there is no problem, you can send samples, and the samples are in line with your own products. After that, you can place an order for mass production.

Many of our low-demand customers often go to the electronics market or the so-called wholesale department to buy cooling fans.

Automobile radiator fan factory is a cooling fan manufacturer integrating Ru0026D, production and sales.
Recently, we dealt with a case of changing the installation method of the cooling fan, which has a great impact on the cooling fan.

During normal use of any electronic product, due to the effect of current, there will be varying degrees of temperature rise inside the device, and when the temperature rise of the device exceeds a certain range, its life will be attenuated to varying degrees (for a long time, The safety of equipment operation will also be reduced).
Car cooling fan working position and its principle: cooling fan working principle 1.

The comprehensive laboratory of the automobile radiator fan factory has introduced new equipment-the thermal shock test box.
The commonly used cooling fan voltage is generally 12V, but some customers' products, such as temperature-controlled cooling fans, set a lower voltage for the cooling fan at low temperatures.
When we choose a cooling fan, especially for certain voltages that are not very stable or have several different voltage gears for speed adjustment, we need to understand the voltage range of the cooling fan, such as a cooling fan that works with a 12V DC voltage.
