Fans suitable for the use of natural refrigerants
The F-gas Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 stipulates the reduction of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) in the EU to 35 million t of CO2equivalent by 2030. Natural refrigerants are increasingly being used instead of environmentally harmful greenhouse gases, but they are more flammable and therefore highly flammable in the event of a malfunction. ebm-papst fans are suitable for the use of natural refrigerants. ATEX-certified fans are usually not required in smaller systems. For refrigeration circuits with a large fill quantity, ebm-papst also offers fans with ATEX approval.
New axial fan AxiEco Protect
ebm-papst has developed the new AxiEco Protect axial fan for use in evaporators, heat pumps and other ventilation and air conditioning devices. It features both high efficiency and unusually high pressure stability. Its air performance curve has a much steeper slope than comparable axial fans. The series already meets the requirements of the ErP limit values planned in the future, thus offering the necessary planning reliability - in both EC and AC technology.
Virtual booth with avatars
The virtual trade show will last 24 hours, covering all global time zones. Visitors can interact with avatars as virtual booth personnel via real-time chats and using audio and video functions. ebm-papst will be represented by four colleagues from all over the world, who will handle booth duty depending on the time zone. The organizer of the "virtual trade show" is shecco, and the trade show will be held as part of its ATMOsphere conferences.
Participation in the virtual trade show is free of charge, but participants have to register at https://atmo-marketplace.com/.
