Learn more about how to select the best motorized impeller or blower as your design’s cooling solution.

The demand for energy-efficient fans, blowers and hoods is steadily increasing in commercial kitchen design across the U.S. This is largely because of energy-saving standards proposed by the Department of Energy to curb the industry’s overall electric power consumption in commercial refrigeration and freezer equipment.The demand has led to new technologies for energy-efficient motorized impeller and blower options. Orion Fans offers a clear way to choosing the right products in this article highlighting the basics and benefits of energy-efficient motorized impellers and blowers.

To make sure you’re selecting the best cooling solution for your application, it’s important to understand the applications that benefit most from these products. Along with considerations for energy efficiency, knowing the required airflow and system resistance, as well as noise, power, environmental rating, speed and footprint requirements, all factor in to choosing the right motorized impeller or blower. The right decision on what fan to use lies in the balance of finding the right-sized fan for just enough energy use, noise, and overall stress on the system. For the blower, the same considerations should be taken for size to make any impact on power consumption.
