Filterfans® present a cost effective solution for thermal management of electrical enclosures in situations where ambient temperature is always lower than the temperature required in an electrical enclosure. Clean, non-hazardous environments with an acceptable ambient temperature range outside the enclosure will find an ideal solution in Pfannenberg’s Filterfans®.
There are multiple products within Pfannenberg's Filterfans® series. Filterfans 4.0TM is among the most popular standard Type 12 Filterfans®, while Slimline Filterfans 4.0TM are ideal for installation in enclosures with limited depth. Other products in the series serve more specialized applications, such as outdoor weather resistance (NEMA 3R), installation on top of enclosures, protection against electromagnetic interference, and the Datawind Filterfans® is designed to be externally mounted on IT equipment on the factory floor.
