New Blower Hits The Spot
The AB 3510 is a new, small, DC centrifugal blower from Fan Technology that is an addition to the Adda Comet range of hot spot coolers.
This makes them ideal for applications such as air conditioning systems, air curtains, computer systems, instrument racks, convector fans, ovens, de-humidifiers and ventilators.
Ranging in diameter from 30mm to 133mm and in length from 200 to 1230 and with airflow from 13 to 1050 CFM, versions are available to suit applications varying from cooling 1U instrument racks to large industrial equipment.
Depending upon the shape and structure of the housing, two basic types of airflow can be achieved: 'L'-flow or 'S'-flow.
With the 'L'-flow versions, the air is turned through approximately 90deg for applications such as drawing air into instrument racks while the airflow through the 'S'-flow versions is turned through 45deg and will be used for forcing air into and along ducting trays.
All units in the range use aluminium rotors and the housings are made in various materials to suit different applications including stove-enamelled, zinc-coated and steel housings for maximum life in harsh environments.
Powered by 115 and 230 VAC (dual AC versions are available) and 5, 12 or 24VDC, speed control is provided either by voltage variation or thyristor circuits.
All fans in the range are available with a shaft drive so they can be belt driven or directly coupled to a remote drive motor.
This allows the fans to be used in temperatures up to 150? C.
