Energy Conservation & Sustainable Design

Efficient Air Performance from NMB

Energy efficiency is now a growing concern for designers and developers of electronic products with an increasing focus being placed on battery life, power consumption and the related environmental effects of electronic equipment usage.

Heat and cooling play a significant role in that regard, and as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of high reliability fans and in support of the increasing focus on energy efficient products, NMB is working alongside designers to deliver efficient cooling solutions for the future.

Led by domestic market applications (white goods and heating & ventilation), NMB is delivering new standards of fans with improved aerodynamics for noise reduction and enhanced product performance.

To improve overall heat dissipation efficiencies, at the heart of NMB fan products are new brushless DC motors alongside an emerging ECDC motor capability. When compared to AC motored fans of equivalent size, brushless DC fans are significantly more efficient, can run at higher speeds, work under speed control and offer features from the on board drive electronics to provide alarms and speed monitoring, very much like the features found on cooling fans in personal computers. This allows the designer to achieve a managed cooling solution from a significantly smaller package with all the added features not available from a conventional AC motored fan.

These features ensure that NMB heat management systems have a number of potential applications, particularly regular usage goods such as household white goods and ventilation systems.

A complete range of NMB brushless DC fans in all types allows the product designer to select low noise, energy efficient cooling solutions with options for speed control, alarm and speed monitoring.
