“Fans are critical pieces of equipment for supermarkets,” said Gavin Hsu, Business Development Director, Fan and Thermal Management Business Group at Delta Electronics EMEA. “Stores rely on their refrigeration systems to do business. When they lose the ability to maintain the required temperatures, it can cost them lost inventory and sales revenues. Energy and maintenance costs for refrigeration also impact bottom lines during normal operation. There are also regulations and safety to consider. This is why makers of supermarket refrigeration systems are always looking to deliver better, more reliable, and more energy efficient solutions for their customers. So, we’re really excited to go to Dusseldorf and show them how our fans can help in all of these areas.”
Innovative fan technologies for commercial refrigeration
As a global leader in DC brushless fans and one of just a handful of top suppliers to the commercial refrigeration industry, Delta has been producing high-quality and innovative fans for decades. The portfolio includes everything from DC to EC fans in sizes ranging up to nine inches. Delta brushless DC motors are electronically commutated (EC) and feature an integrated AC to DC inverter driven with brushless DC motor. This design can reduce energy consumption by as much as 70% compared to conventional AC fans yet maintain the ability to operate from existing AC inputs—without sacrificing performance. All of Delta’s EC models also comply with ATEX 2014 34-EU, an important requirement for systems installed in the EU and an additional layer of safety against explosion in the event of a refrigerant leak.
Delta also offers programmable fans, which can greatly enhance the efficiency of the entire cooling system. Instead of continuing to spin and consume power continuously, programmable fans can be configured to reduce output during periods of low system load. This results in energy savings and less noise on the supermarket sales floor. In addition, Delta fans offer ingress protection up to IP67 by using superior production methods to make them completely resistant to dust and moisture. The universal voltage models can be used for both 115 V and 230 V applications, giving OEMs additional flexibility. Delta fans also offer higher motor performance and controller and impeller efficiencies than conventional AC fans.
Below are highlights for just three of the many fans that will be on display at the Delta booth.
