Fan and blower manufacturer ebm-papst has released FlowGrid, a patent-pending air-inlet grill designed to reduce noise levels for fans installed within limited-space air-moving equipment.
“FlowGrid is the result of our extensive airflow testing for inlet conditions with a wide variety of customers’ axial and centrifugal fans across dozens of applications,” George Riker, business development specialist at ebm-papst, said. “By improving the aerodynamic conditions external to the fan, FlowGrid reduces the adverse effects of these inlet conditions and minimizes noise.”
Ideal for fans installed within flat and central air handling units, air purifiers and heat pumps with centrifugal fans, or air-water heat pumps, condensers and V-shaped condensers with axial fans, FlowGrid features an open grill design to minimize turbulence before the air hits the axial or centrifugal impeller blades.
