Hammond Electronics has introduced a range of low cost, easy to fit IP54 filter assemblies, suitable for use in conjunction with 80 and 120mm fans or as stand-alone exhaust filters.
Hammond Electronics has introduced a range of low cost, easy to fit IP54 filter assemblies, suitable for use in conjunction with 80 and 120mm fans or as stand-alone exhaust filters. The filters extend beyond the aperture in the panel, enabling slight imperfections in the cut-out to be hidden, saving rework time during assembly. The IP54 filters enable forced ventilation to be provided for the cabinet while preserving the environmental sealing of the unit, excluding harmful dust and moisture.

Available in black, grey and beige, the filters are two-part assemblies with the filter element accessible for cleaning or replacement from the outside by simply releasing the outer cover from the inner frame.

The inner cover, which incorporates an extruded gasket to seal to the enclosure wall, is secured using the fan’s normal fixings.

Fan Technology has introduced to the UK a new DC fan from ETRI powered from a redesigned motor that provides optimum fan performance in terms of airflow and noise.
Fan Technology, an Aerco company, has introduced to the UK a new DC fan from ETRI powered from a redesigned motor that provides optimum fan performance in terms of airflow and noise. The ETRI 300 Series is available in a family of five frame sizes from 40 to 172mm and in 5, 12, 24 and 48V supply voltages. The newly developed motor and improved impeller design produces a markedly improved airflow for the same blade speed resulting in a reduced operating noise level for the same cooling effect.

The 300 Series produces airflow up to 325 CFM at a noise level of only 63dB(A).

Ideally suited for cooling modern, sophisticated equipment where high performance and low noise are key design parameters, all fans in the series are also available with speed sensor and alarm options making them suitable for advanced intelligent cooling systems.

RiCool, Rittal’s new variable speed blower, provides effective cooling of densely packed VME or CompactPCI subrack systems.
RiCool, Rittal’s new variable speed blower, provides effective cooling of densely packed VME or CompactPCI subrack systems. When mounted side by side in a subrack the RiCool blowers give 220 cfm of airflow at 0in static pressure. Air is drawn up through the cPCI boards and then exhausts out the back of the subrack via the powerful backward curved impeller - using only 1U of rack space.

At a static pressure of 0.25in of water, Rittal’s RiCool blower provides over 90cfm of airflow each, and continues to provide cooling at static pressures in excess of 1.0in of water, far exceeding the capabilities of typical 482.6mm (19-inch) rack mounted axial fan trays.

Rittal’s RiCool also offers an alarm output via fan speed sensor, speed control capability, long life, easy access, and hot swap capability to use with no extra ducting.

The 60mm range of ADDA axial DC hot spot coolers from Fan Technology is now available in 10, 15, 20 and 25mm frame sizes, supply voltages of 5, 12 and 24V and four different speed variants. The range provides high levels of design flexibility for cooling hot spots within enclosures and other applications where high cooling performance is required in confined spaces. Thanks to the use of the latest motor technology, the motor of the ADDA 60mm series occupies a small area of the fan cross section so allowing a larger impeller and increased airflow.

The 25mm version is capable of airflow of up to 28.3CFM while the 10mm thick version achieves 16.6CFM at which the operating noise level is 32.8dB(A).

All fans in the range can be fitted with ball, sleeve or the patented ADDA Hypro bearing system that provides long life at a fraction of the cost of ball bearing systems.

A full range of intelligent cooling options such as alarm and tacho signal, temperature control and pulsewidth modulated motors are also available.
