The software-selectable, factory-installed electronically commutated motor (ECM) fan array integrated with semi-custom air handlers accommodates up to 20 ECM fans in 40 arrangements to meet application requirements. The solution delivers space-saving cabinet design, greater efficiencies, quieter operation, and reduced maintenance; mission critical applications benefit from n+1 redundancy. Each fan’s ECM mounts directly to its impeller for compact design, eliminating nearly 3 ft of cabinet space, which makes the unit 46% narrower than direct-drive cabinets with VFDs. Air-handlers with the ECM fan array can gain 40% efficiency (3- to 5-hp range) over direct-drive or belt-driven fans, yielding significant yearly energy savings.
