 Delphi Corporation has launched a new generation of metal axial fans designed for the residential and light commercial Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) market, company officials announced recently in a press release.
This new product portfolio uses leading-edge air management technology to help HVAC manufacturers design higher efficiency products and ultimately take cost out of their system. Designed for condensing unit and heat pump applications, the portfolio was presented at the 2007 AHR Expo, which took place from the 29th to the 31st of January at the Dallas Convention Center.
Delphi's metal axial fan portfolio represents a major technological advancement - one of only a few new developments in metal axial fans for HVAC applications over the last 30 years. Featuring curved blades that manage turbulence and streamline the air after contact with the fan, Delphi's axial fans offer an unparalleled combination of efficiency improvement and noise control.
This highly streamlined fan blade technology helps HVAC engineers design higher efficiency systems. Using Delphi's patented fan technology, HVAC manufacturers may significantly reduce the amount of power required to run their condenser fans. Studies performed both by Delphi and major HVAC Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have proven that this blade technology can increase efficiency by 30 percent to 35 percent as compared to other premier fans in the marketplace, which generally focus on noise reduction alone. HVAC OEMs may also be able to use Delphi's metal axial fans to increase airflow volume by 12 percent to 15 percent without having to increase power to the fan motor.
"Our fans give HVAC manufacturers an option that can help them take their systems to higher efficiency levels," said Ray Johnson, product business unit director, Delphi Thermal Systems. "And our fans can help HVAC manufacturers achieve overall systems cost reductions that can improve their profitability."
The introduction of Delphi's condenser fan portfolio for the stationary HVAC market demonstrates the company's commitment to non-automotive markets. Delphi's vast experience in the design and manufacturing of HVAC systems for automotive applications translates into a clear understanding of the component needs of non-automotive HVAC manufacturers. In addition, the company is already working on utilizing this technology for indoor furnace blower wheels and housings.
