1) What’s Next for ebm‑papst Product Localization?
As industries prioritize supply chain resilience and rapid access to essential components, product localization has become a key focus at ebm‑papst. Our commitment to local-for-local sourcing means expanding our North American manufacturing capabilities. We’ve already started with customer favorites like the RadiPac and AxiBlade, and we continue to broaden our size range and product offerings.

By increasing domestic production, we reduce lead times and enhance flexibility in meeting specific market needs. Explore our North America Retrofit Product Brochure for a closer look at our locally produced options.

2) How Has the Web-Based Selection Software Improved?
Finding the right fan for your application should be seamless, and our web-based fan selection software, FanScout, is designed to make the process easier than ever. This powerful tool helps engineers, designers, and facility managers quickly identify the optimal fan solution for their specific requirements, ensuring both efficiency and compatibility.

Recent updates to FanScout have introduced several enhancements aimed at streamlining the selection process. Users can now take advantage of advanced filtering options to narrow down choices based on critical parameters like airflow, pressure, efficiency, and noise levels. Expanded product data ensures that users have access to comprehensive technical specifications, helping them make well-informed decisions. Additionally, improved search functionalities, including full support for U.S. 460V models, simplify the process of finding region-specific options.

Whether you're selecting a fan for HVAC, refrigeration, or industrial ventilation applications, FanScout provides an intuitive and efficient experience. The user-friendly interface guides you step by step, minimizing guesswork and ensuring you find the right fan the first time.

3) Can ActivePFC Eliminate the Need for Harmonic Filters?
Yes! Active Power Factor Correction (ActivePFC) technology can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for external harmonic filters, offering a more streamlined and cost-effective solution for improving power quality. This is especially valuable in environments with sensitive electronic equipment, such as data centers, hospitals, and industrial automation systems, where stable power is crucial for reliable operation.

ActivePFC works by dynamically adjusting the power factor, reducing electrical distortion, and minimizing wasted energy. This not only enhances system efficiency but also contributes to a cleaner power supply, lowering the risk of interference with other electronic devices. By incorporating ActivePFC, businesses can meet stringent power quality standards while reducing the need for additional filtering components.

Whether you are designing a new system or upgrading an existing one, ActivePFC technology helps you achieve greater reliability, energy savings, and compliance with industry regulations—all while simplifying your power management strategy.

4) What Are the Best Installation Practices for the Cube-Design RadiPac?
The Cube-Design RadiPac is engineered for both convenience and efficiency, making it a game-changer in air-moving technology. Unlike traditional units that require a heavy structural wall for support, the Cube-Design RadiPac features a self-supporting structure that allows for faster, simpler installation. This innovative design helps reduce labor costs while providing unmatched flexibility in system layout.

To ensure optimal performance, it’s important to follow best installation practices. One of the key considerations is the separation of the inlet and exhaust sides of the housing. Instead of requiring a complex structural barrier, the Cube-Design RadiPac only needs a simple, non-structural "air curtain" to maintain proper airflow. Our high-efficiency fans guide air throughout the system and prevent performance losses due to recirculation. Modularity is another major advantage: The Cube-Design RadiPac is stackable and features an interlocking design, making it easy to transport and handle. This is particularly beneficial for projects that require scalable ventilation solutions, as multiple units can be combined to meet varying airflow demands.
