Innov’Space: Energy efficient Econo-Fan

12-09-2012 | Home | News

With its unique design, the Econofan ventilation system uses a patented gearbox device powered by a direct current source.

This gearbox device allows the fan to operate on a large scale of variable speed, ranging from 1 to 20 times the initial flow. This means that the Econofan ventilation system can be used as a replacement for all fans sizes from 350 mm to 500 mm.

Thanks to the performances and the efficiency of its motor, the fan converts up to 97% of the input electric energy into mechanical energy. Driven by a regulation device, it offers a perfect control of the very low air flows.

The combination of quality stainless materials, like the plastic alloy, the fibre glass and the aluminium result in a sturdy and durable product while minimizing maintenance.

Equipped with a one piece weighted propeller, the Econofan uses the principles of the flywheel, storing energy in the weight of the propeller to increase energy savings.

Coupled to its electronic control system (CEF) and its network programming interface (IREF), the Econofan can be operated remotely, and individually.

For two years, the IFIP has conducted tests within the experimental station in Romillé, which prove the energy savings of more than 80%.
