This paper from Orion Fans covers why and how EC fans are increasingly being used to meet ever more stringent energy efficiency standards in both the U.S. and Europe. Orion Fans will be introducing a family of EC fans offering low power, energy-efficient cooling solutions with energy savings of up to 50%.
Energy conservation is of ever increasing importance in today’s world. The U.S. Department of Energy has determined that about 25% of the primary energy consumption in the residential and commercial sectors is used by electric motor-driven systems and components in appliances and equipment. Replacing existing equipment with advanced energy-efficient motors results in a substantial reduction in energy usage and cost. EC (electronically commutated) fans represent a significant advancement in power savings technology, providing cooling and air flow solutions for today’s demanding applications that require increased electrical efficiency.
