AFL EC‑Backward Centrifugal Fans – High‑Efficiency EC Fans with Integrated Motor & Controller

AFL EC‑Backward Centrifugal Fans are engineered for demanding HVAC, data center, and cleanroom applications where energy efficiency, acoustic comfort, and reliability are critical. Featuring impellers sized 133–630 mm, these fans combine a high‑performance PA66 or sheet aluminum impeller, an integrated EC motor, and a smart controller into a fully assembled plug‑and‑play system.
With over 15 years of product engineering experience, I can confirm that EC backward centrifugal fans deliver measurable benefits: up to 30% energy savings, significantly lower noise levels, and faster commissioning compared to traditional AC backward fans.
How to Select the Right AFL EC‑Backward Centrifugal Fan
1. Define Airflow and Static Pressure Requirements
Determine the airflow (m³/h) and static pressure (Pa) required for your application. AFL EC‑Backward Centrifugal Fans offer a broad range of 800–11,000 m³/h depending on the impeller size.
2. Match Voltage and Power Specifications
These fans are designed for 220–240 V and 380–415 V power supplies. Efficiency data shows that 380 V operation can deliver up to 3% higher energy efficiency under high static pressure.
3. Consider Noise and Environmental Conditions
For data centers and cleanrooms, acoustic performance and material durability are essential. Backward centrifugal EC fans are typically 6–8 dB(A) quieter than forward‑curved fans.
Efficiency Comparison – 220 V vs 380 V
Voltage | Airflow Range (m³/h) | Efficiency (%) | Noise (dB(A)) |
---|---|---|---|
220 V | 800–9000 | 85–88% | 65–75 |
380 V | 1000–11,000 | 88–91% | 64–73 |
Key Insight: 380 V EC backward centrifugal fans deliver higher system efficiency, especially for applications requiring high static pressure.
AFL EC‑Backward vs Traditional AC Backward Centrifugal Fans
Feature | AFL EC‑Backward (EC) | Traditional AC Backward Fan |
---|---|---|
Energy Efficiency | 88–91% (up to 30% savings) | 65–70% |
Noise Level | 64–75 dB(A) | 70–82 dB(A) |
Motor & Controller | Integrated, plug‑and‑play | Separate, requires wiring |
Service Life | 60,000+ hours | 30,000–40,000 hours |
Real‑World Example:
When we replaced 48 AC backward centrifugal fans in a data center with AFL EC‑Backward models, the annual energy cost dropped by 28%, and noise levels improved by 7 dB(A).
