Industry Solutions

NeoFan’s new family of fluid movers were created specifically to provide higher performance with reduced size, reduced weight, much lower noise levels and with extreme life in harsh environments, where rotary fans fail, and to provide unique flexible form factors to facilitate new end-product architectures.

We can help facilitate customer innovations in a variety of industries by transforming unobtainable fluid mover requirements into reality. Learn more about these industries here.

 
 
 
 

Mobility

The Integrated Design enables a new family of fluid movers including air compressors and synthetic jets for mobility sensor cleaning offering a significant reduction in size, weight and noise, while still providing the high fluid performance required.

Thermal Management challenges for mobility grow each year as all forms of transport continue to add more and more on-board electronics and thermal management challenges. Both on-board and outdoor infrastructure electronics and EV charging stations require fan cooling in the hot harsh conditions characteristic of automotive and outdoor applications.

NeoFan’s new C-Fan technology enables the life and reliability for on-board and infrastructure electronics and EV charging stations that improve air performance, reduce fan noise, increase system reliability and reduce operating costs.

Telecom

The outdoor electronics enclosures that telecom service providers rely on, must accommodate never-ending increases in electronics power and the higher resulting heat loads. All enclosure cooling systems require fans, but rotary fans cannot continue to provide the additional cooling without exceeding industry-imposed noise limits for enclosures. C-Fans are designed specifically to deliver more air flow and pressure at much lower noise levels, while meeting telecom outdoor life requirements in these extreme outdoor environments, where rotary fans fail prematurely.

Renewable Energy

In order to meet future utility scale $/kWh targets, PV electric power installations must continue to increase reliability and reduce operating cost. Life targets for DC-AC inverters are 15-20 years, but their internal cooling fans can fail on average every 2.2 years. When the fan fails the inverter shuts down resulting in higher operating and maintenance costs.

C-Fans can be designed for 20 year life at L10 reliability, while providing higher air performance at lower noise levels when compared to rotary fans. Other renewable energy technologies such as concentrated solar power, hydrogen fuel cells, energy storage and wind turbines also depend on outdoor power electronics like inverters and power converters, and all can benefit from the reliability and reduced operating cost of C-Fans.

Outdoor Electronics and Battery Enclosures

Many of the outdoor electronics and battery enclosures used in traffic control, telecom, cable TV, autonomous vehicles and renewable energy, use fans to prevent heat-induced electronics failures in these environmentally sealed enclosures. Service providers must periodically fit higher power electronics in these enclosures, which adds more heat. But rotary fans can’t provide the higher air flows needed without exceeding industry-imposed noise limits. C-Fans are designed to provide the additional cooling and life without exceeding the industry noise limits.

Military and Aerospace

Military ground based electronics must operate in some of the worlds most extreme hot harsh environments. Electronics cooling fan failures in these applications are well known and rotary fans cannot offer concurrent life, performance and noise improvements since they are at the top of their performance vs. time S-curve. Battlefield electronics failures have severe consequences for war fighters and for mission outcomes.

Further, rotary fans are poorly suited to these applications requirements due to their dead-ended volumes that trap liquids and contaminates and that cannot be cleaned in the field. Unlike rotary fans, C-Fans have a completely open architecture with no dead-ended volumes and can be easily cleaned and quickly restored to operation in the field.

C-Fans can enable the robust longevity and performance needed for a wide range of military electronics products in the worlds harshest environments.
