AC Series High Airflow Axial Fans

Introduction

Wakefield Thermal’s AC Series comprises high-airflow axial fans for industrial and commercial cooling. The series is designed to operate directly from 110 VAC or 220 VAC, allowing continuous-duty cooling without an external power supply or fan-driver circuit.

With fan sizes ranging from 80 mm to 280 mm and airflow ratings extending from approximately 18 CFM to more than 1,100 CFM, the series covers cooling requirements from compact equipment to larger enclosures and airflow systems. Compatibility with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems supports integration across different AC power environments.

What it does

The AC Series uses axial fans to move air through equipment, enclosures, or cooling systems. Direct AC operation can simplify systems where an appropriate 110 VAC or 220 VAC supply is already present, removing the need to derive a separate low-voltage rail specifically for the fan.

The broad size and airflow ranges allow designers to select a fan according to the physical space available and the required volume of air movement. Individual operating characteristics should be checked for the selected fan within the series rather than inferred from the overall range.

Applications

Potential applications supported by the stated function and specifications include:

• HVAC equipment
• Telecom equipment cooling
• Industrial control systems
• Power-supply cooling
• Electrical enclosure ventilation
• Other industrial or commercial equipment requiring continuous-duty forced airflow

Design considerations

The fan must be selected for the available AC supply voltage, with options specified for 110 VAC and 220 VAC operation. The installation’s power frequency should also be considered, although the series supports both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems.

Mechanical integration depends on the chosen fan size, with the series spanning 80 mm to 280 mm. Designers should also select airflow according to the cooling requirement, as the approximately 18 CFM to over 1,100 CFM range describes the series as a whole rather than a single model.

Because these are mains-powered fans, equipment design should account for suitable electrical connections and integration appropriate to the selected AC voltage.
