Penn Elcom launches new low-noise fan

Penn Elcom has launched a new low-noise 3U heat extraction unit which can be fitted to the front or back of any 19 inch racking unit to suck the heat out of an enclosure. The FP02-Q-3U fan unit emits 22.5 dB(A) with a Sone (loudness) value of 0.3. At the top is the optimum position as the heat rises.

The two 9-bladed fans measure 120 mm, and each fan unit can be controlled by a CRC-Temp thermal sensor accessory plugged into the Temp socket on the front. This is set to operate at 40 degrees C and will re-set at 30 degrees C plus or minus 2 degrees.

Using an acrylic adhesive pad, the sensor can be attached to an area where it will best detect the overall ambient temperature of the equipment being cooled - rather than directly to the main heat source. The lifespan of the Swiss-designed fans has been extended with the use of Japanese dual ball-bearing brushes and lubricants, which facilitates continuous rotation 24/7. Dust, smoke/fog, other detritus, high temperatures and other contamination has less effect than when using standard bearings.

A DC to DC link socket is provided allowing two or more FP02-Q-3U units to be linked together (for which a higher powered PSU must be used) and as standard it is supplied with a worldwide universal 500 mA/12 Volt power supply to run both fans. A washable dust filter is also available as an accessory. The FP02-Q-3U weighs 1.5 Kgs and the fluid bearings have a two year warranty.
