Next-Generation FFU & Data Center Fans: AFL’s Metal Centrifugal and EC/DC Solutions

1. Cleanroom Applications – FFU Metal Centrifugal Fans

AFL’s metal centrifugal fans redefine cleanroom airflow management:

• Uniform airflow across FFU modules ensures ISO-class particle control.

• Low noise operation supports sensitive pharmaceutical and semiconductor environments.

• Durability from precision-balanced impellers extends service life and reduces downtime.

Result: Consistent cleanroom performance for electronics, biotech, and healthcare manufacturing.

2. Data Center Cooling – EC/DC Fan Solutions

Data centers demand 24/7 reliability and energy optimization. AFL’s EC/DC fans outperform traditional AC units:

• Energy Savings: EC technology allows 20–40% power reduction compared to AC fans.

• Precise Control: Supports 0–10V, PWM, and RS485 protocols for seamless BMS integration.

• Reliability: Designed for continuous operation with redundant bearing systems.

For every 1°C increase in chilled-water temperature made possible by AFL fans, operators save up to 4% on cooling energy.

3. Fan Wall Architecture – N+1 Reliability

Unlike single large fans, AFL’s fan wall systems (e.g., B3P640-EC188-901) use a modular grid of smaller fans:

• N+1 redundancy eliminates single-point failures.

• Partial load efficiency ensures high energy performance even under variable demand.

• Quick replacement modules minimize downtime.

✅ Ideal for hyperscale data centers requiring maximum uptime and flexible scalability.

4. Compact DC Fans – Space-Saving Power

AFL’s compact DC fans (e.g., B3P225-DC072-903) address modern modular data center needs:

• High static pressure for dense in-row cooling.

• IP54+ protection for demanding conditions.

• Compact form factor reduces rack footprint while maintaining airflow.

Payback period: Typically 18–24 months based on reduced cooling energy and space optimization.

5. Axial Fans for Energy Storage & EV Charging

Energy storage systems and EV chargers require robust thermal management:

• Magnesium-aluminum split blades provide high static pressure with lightweight durability.

• Compact integration simplifies enclosure design.

• Noise & vibration control improves EV charger user experience.

Certified designs withstand outdoor, high-humidity, and high-heat environments.

6. Reliability & Manufacturing Excellence

AFL’s Chinese factory delivers:

• Strict quality control: vibration, noise, and endurance testing for every batch.

• Certifications: CE, UL, ISO9001, and third-party energy performance reports.

• Scalable capacity: Supports large-volume OEM orders with global on-time delivery.
