30 % savings on average:
A proud claim!
Whether we are talking about ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration,
information technology, heating systems, building systems, industrial
automation, automotive engineering or telecommunications – there
is a need to save as much energy as possible wherever motors are
employed in drive systems or for ventilation. GreenTech EC technology
leads by example: All our EC fans already surpass the requirements
of the ErP directive for 2015. And that’s not just talk, but a proven fact!
Example: Energy savings in the air conditioning sector.
And here’s another fact: Even at varying speeds, GreenTech EC fans
maintain their extremely high efficiency levels, whereas there is a
sharp drop in the already inferior efficiency of AC motors. In the case
of condensers/evaporators operating with our EC fans for example,
energy savings of more than 10 % can be achieved even just at
nominal speed. The relative and absolute savings become yet more
apparent with infinitely variable control. As compared to GreenTech
EC technology, conventional phase control may require more than

E. g. A3G800 axial fan.

saving of 2,814 euro*.

E. g. W1G200 axial fan.
40 fans operate in refrigerated display cases in a small supermarket.
On account of the lower level of heat generated by the energy-saving
motor, the operating time is 30 % shorter. This translates into a
potential annual saving of more than 9.4 MWh and 5.6 t of CO2. Cost

E. g. R3G500 centrifugal fan.
6 precision air conditioning units, each equipped with 3 GreenTech
EC fans, operate in the IT rooms of a computer centre. Given a 100 %

corresponds to around 30 t of CO2 and 5,898 euro* per year.

right through to machinery and IT applications.
New limit values highlight the limitations of conventional fans.
Starting in 2013 and with effect from 2015, two-stage implementation
of the ErP directive will enforce more stringent efficiency requirements for fans in the power range between 125 W and 500 kW. The
corresponding minimum efficiency values for the various types of fan
are stipulated in the EU directive no. 327/2011.
The future belongs to GreenTech EC technology.
In the light of these developments, the strengths of the innovative

fans really come to the fore. In contrast to fans employing AC tech­
nology, GreenTech EC motors from ebm-papst achieve efficiency levels
in excess of 90 per cent, thus permitting substantial energy savings
as compared to conventional AC designs. Added to this, the speed
of GreenTech EC fans can be regulated to adapt the air volume to the
specific requirements. This has the positive effect of considerably
reducing energy consumption still further.

GreenTech innovations:
That’s where the future lies!
The ErP directive for 2015 quite clearly shows: EC technology from ebm-papst is years ahead of its time. Not surprisingly, as we were one
of the first technology companies to recognise the potential of electronic commutation and systematically promote its advancement. To stop now
and rest on our laurels would not do justice to our claim to be the leading innovative company in the field of fans and drive systems. And so
we continue to pursue our research and development work. We do not just concentrate on the actual motor, but rather look at every product as
a whole with a view to exploiting all possible potential for increasing efficiency – whether this is to be found in materials, electronic control or
aerodynamics. A few examples:

with the corresponding sensors. ebm-papst fans with the appropriate input can be
actuated by way of the controlled 0–10 VDC output or the RS485-MODBUS-RTU link.
The features include multi-functional pressure and temperature regulation as well as
the display and input of various parameters. The integrated LCD ensures ease of
operation over several levels.
