Airflow performance test standard

The air performance test of Blauberg fans complies with the relevant requirements for air volume and air pressure testing specified in GB/T 1236-2017 Industrial Ventilators - Performance Testing Using Standardized Air Ducts. This standard version is equivalent to ISO 5801:2007, which means that GB/T 1236-2017 and ISO 5801:2007 are identical in terms of technical content. As the origin standard, AMCA 210 has led to the international harmonization of ISO 5801, while GB/T 1236 represents Chinese adoption of this international standard.

Effects of centrifugal
air gap change

The centrifugal air gap between the inlet ring and the impeller cover affects centrifugal fan air flow and operation efficiency. Changes in the size of the inlet ring air gap affects the following curve:

Mounting space
effects

Mounting-specific losses may be caused by installing the centrifugal fan in a ventilation block with insufficient space. The effects on fan performance are evident from the following curve. For boxes with a square cross section the hydraulic diameter is calculated based on the box width and height divided by the impeller diameter.

Backward Centrifugal Fan FAQs
for Buyers and OEMs

Why choose an EC Backward Curved Fan over a forward curved AC fan?

Backward curved blades deliver a naturally "self-limiting" power curve — the motor cannot overload even if system resistance drops unexpectedly. Paired with an EC permanent magnet motor, the system sustains high efficiency (typically 70–85% total efficiency) across the full operating range, whereas an AC motor may drop to 40–50% efficiency at partial load. The result: 30–50% energy savings in real-world HVAC duty cycles.

Does retrofitting an AC fan require replacing the entire cabinet or housing?

Not with a Plug Fan (also called a "Free-Inlet" or "Plenum Fan") design. The impeller, EC motor, and electronics ship as a single pre-balanced assembly that mounts directly inside the existing AHU casing — no scroll housing needed. Mechanical interface adapters and custom mounting plates can be supplied to match legacy footprints, making most retrofits a half-day installation.

How does Modbus RS485 (or 0–10 V / PWM) control improve system uptime?

Digital protocols like Modbus RTU allow the fan to report speed, current draw, input power, and vibration status directly to your BMS or PLC in real time. This shifts maintenance from scheduled replacement to condition-based intervention — you act on an anomaly signal weeks before a bearing failure, rather than discovering the shutdown after the fact. Analog 0–10 V / PWM inputs remain available for simpler BMS integrations.

What is an "external rotor" motor and why does it matter for fan design?

In an external rotor EC motor, the permanent magnet rotor is the outermost rotating shell, and the stator windings are fixed at the center. The impeller mounts directly onto this rotating outer shell — eliminating a separate shaft, coupling, and bearing housing. The result is a dramatically more compact and lighter assembly, shorter axial length, and inherently lower vibration because the rotor itself acts as a flywheel to damp imbalance.

What protection rating and service life can I expect?

Blauberg external rotor EC fans are built with IP55-rated sealed motors and precision imported bearings, rated for 40,000–50,000 hours of continuous operation — roughly 5–6 years at 24/7 duty, or well over a decade in intermittent HVAC service. The brushless EC commutation eliminates carbon brush wear, which is the primary wear-out mechanism in traditional AC motors.

Which certifications are required for different markets, and do your products carry them?

For North America, UL/ETL listing is the gateway requirement; CE + EMC + RoHS covers the EU and most export markets; CB certification enables acceptance across 50+ countries. Over 80% of Blauberg's EC fan range carries UL/ETL, CE, CB, and FCC certifications as standard, with ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 factory system certification. Specific compliance documents can be provided per SKU for project submissions.
