The majority of building operators have to make the most of their existing plant and, if it’s over three years old, it probably won’t be using EC fans but ebm-papst UK provide an upgrade service to bring legacy equipment up to current efficiency standards. EC fans are directly interchangeable with older AC fans and give an average energy saving of around 30%. By utilising their built-in variable speed control and replacing inefficient belts and pulleys with direct-drive EC motors, the savings multiply and paybacks of under two years are possible. Even better, if you replace AC fans with EC fans at their end of life, the cost to replace them may be very similar but you gain higher efficiency, integrated speed control, BMS compatibility and lower noise.
