Intelligently Networked complete Solutions

With GreenIntelligence, economy and ecology are further thought

Energy-efficient fans and drives are intelligently networked complete solutions at EBM-Papst. "GreenIntelligence" illustrates this impressively and is presented for the first time at the Messe Chillventa in Nuremberg.

When asked about the right drive or fan, the product characteristics such as energy efficiency and performance values are no longer decisive, but the optimal interplay of all components. All products with GreenIntelligence from EBM-papst are IoT-capable and can be networked with any system – quickly and easily by Plug & Play.

Condition monitoring Thanks to GreenIntelligence

GreenIntelligence, for example, is particularly impressive in the AxiBlade axial fan. Thanks to condition monitoring ("condition monitoring"), the function of the fans in the condenser can be monitored remotely and thus an imbalance by e.g. pollution is detected at an early stage. This prevents possible damage to the bearing and thus ensures operational safety. Other advantages of condition monitoring are the display of necessary maintenance work or the independent defrosting of fans in evaporators via integrated heating tapes in the Wandring. Thus the fan can always work energy-efficient and the blades do not freeze at the Wandring.

Reliability through intelligent networking

Another example of networked, intelligent fans is the modular FanGrid solutions. They are especially used when it is necessary to ensure maximum reliability through redundancy. If the number of fans is designed accordingly, the necessary air volume can always be reached, even if a fan is out of operation. Thanks to their networking, the remaining fans are automatically increased in speed and thus compensate for the lack of air flow. With the help of EC technology, a complete system can be controlled on demand and energy-efficient and avoid critical – and therefore inefficient – engine speed ranges.

GreenIntelligence improves itself

Through the digital networking of all components, processes can be better planned, malfunctions detected faster and the entire interaction of all components is optimized. Thanks to intelligent control technology, optimization potentials can be recognized and implemented independently on request. For example, the communication protocol Modbus-RTU is being communicated, for which the fans of EBM-papst already have the right interface.

GreenIntelligence as a further development EBM-PAPST has been standing for sustainable thinking and acting since the company was founded in 1963 – True to the motto "every product that we develop anew must surpass its predecessor economically and ecologically". In addition to the early focus on the highly efficient EC technology, the chances of industrial digitisation were also recognized. 2009 was established with "GreenTech" by EBM-papst a symbol for energy efficiency, sustainability in products and in production. By adding digital, intelligent solutions, "GreenIntelligence" solutions are now being made by EBM-papst.
