The Schematic Structure of EC Motors

Rosenberg EC motors (EC = electronically commutated) are inverter-fed synchronous motor with permanent magnets in external rotor design. The AC mains voltage is rectified in the commutation electronics of the EC motor. A downstream inverter provides the motor with the motor voltage depending on the position, similar to the principle of a frequency inverter. In opposite to this, all parameters are already optimally matched to each other. The intelligent EC commutation electronics decide how the motor phases in the stator are supplied with cur...


Avoiding Corrosion in HVAC & Protecting Employee Health

When installing a HVAC system, the main aim is usually to heat or cool the environment for employee comfort. Often underestimated is the impact that HVAC systems can have on employee health. Corrosion, caused by the presence of chemicals, is one of the biggest threats to HVAC systems and indicates an unsafe environment for employees. Corrosion damage and its consequences in HVAC systems are discussed below. What is Corrosion Damage? Corrosion mainly occurs in metals when they react with their environments; their refined form turns into stable...


Renewable Energy: Fans for Wind Turbines

The UK's offshore wind power capacity is set to nearly double by 2030, as a result of a new government initiative. Offshore wind has become an increasingly affordable source of clean energy due to plummeting costs. This, coupled with an increasing environmental awareness in consumers, is reinvigorating the focus on wind as a source of inexpensive, renewable energy. Wind turbines require fans to ventilate and cool several different areas to maintain and preserve the functioning of its equipment. These areas include the nacelle, generator, tra...


How to Save Energy using Inverters to Control Speed

Better control of fan speed means better control of energy consumption and energy costs, inverters can help. What do inverters do? Put simply, an inverter is used to vary the speed of the motor to match the required load. In most cases, fans are specified to match the maximum ventilation requirements of the setting. Installing an inverter allows you to control the speed of your fan motor to match the actual ventilation needs, rather than run the fan at full power constantly. An inverter can vary the motor speed with no loss of efficiency. ...


Being Carbon Zero & Socially Responsible at Axair Fans

In 2016 here at Axair Fans we went Carbon zero. We did this in partnership with Carbon management company CO2 Balance and we became carbon zero by offsetting our carbon emissions. Previously, our partnership helped set up effective home stoves for a number of under developed countries such as Ethiopia and Malawi. Now work has begun to help with another major issue in under developed countries, clean water.  Around the world approximately 663 million people don’t have access to safe water supplies. That’s 1 in 10 people. A shocking st...

Operation Clean Sweep On Lowfield Drive

At Axair we’re always looking for ways to get involved in the local community whether it be supporting local charities in sporting events or helping those in need in our recent Christmas present appeal. This Spring Axair decided it to get into the community spirit and focus directly on a cause that concerns us each and every day. On our daily drive into work, we have noticed an increasing amount of litter on the embankments. Being located on an Industrial estate close to the main dual carriageway ultimately means it’s frequented by long ...
