Company Hollenbach new factory in Germany - 20 million EUR
investment. Completed in 2007, designed for maximum energy
efficiency from the very first planning stage. The most important
features of the high-tech location include its own power generation
using a photovoltaic system and a cleverly devised system for
ventilating, cooling and exploiting the residual heat generated on
the 13,000 square metre building. A new factory of this size would
usually need about 850,000 kWh per year for heating and cooling.
Our factory needs less than one tenth of that amount !!!

Versus EC Fan AC to DC conversion Commutation Electronics Permanent
magnet Stator Rotor AC motor EC motor Stator Windings 2 sets of
copper windings External speed control required Low efficiency due
to copper losses Permanent magnet on rotor. AC mains Input
converted to DC onboard Integrated variable speed control (0 10v or
PWM) High efficiency (exceeds IE3)

about an EC fan? 1) Energy efficiency EC motors are around 30% more
efficient due to secondary magnetic field comes from permanent
magnets rather than copper windings. 2) System Efficiency EC fans
operate outside their preferred operating range & still
maintain a high level of efficiency 3) Speed Control Integrated
speed control means fans have infinitely variable speed , no
additional VSD is required. Allows for simple speed control,
constant volume or constant pressure control etc. also remote
control & monitoring via modbus 4) Reduced Noise 5) Compact
design Integrated motor & speed control 6) Reduced
maintenance
