ETRI ventilation fan tray

Optimization of ventilation solution

We assemble our ETRI compact axial fans in trays form for all types of applications. This allow to optimize the ventilation efficiency. A fan tray can be racked into an electrical or electronic cabinet. The available space and the need of ventilation of the equipment are the elements which help us define the tray size and the number of fans.

The coding for an ETRI fan tray starts, for example, with R1UExxx. These letters and numbers have a specific meaning:

R: Rack (rack-mounted fan tray)

1U: rack unit, in this case 44.45 millimeters (1.75") thick

Exxx: project name

000: The code ends with 3 digits to identify the different versions of the product.

A large number of fans to be installed in a small space is the advantage provided by our ETRI fan trays. The number of fans can be adapted to ventilation requirements, while optimizing space.

Assembling several fans in a trays is a solution to save space. In addition, ETRI also develops axial fans with specific housings to optimize the number of fans to be installed in the fan tray.

The design of ETRI fan trays also optimizes equipment maintenance: they are easy to install and uninstall. In case of need, users can easily replace a single fan themselves. Thet don't need any special tools and minimizing maintenance costs.

They are used to cool electrical and electronic cabinets, for exemple in railway applications. Electrical and electronic cabinet components generate heat. This heat must be absolutely dissipated to keep the equipment in good working order and guarantee user safety. The configurations of the equipments help in dissipating the heat, but the ventilation is also the key to avoid overheating. This must be adapted to the space available in the application to be ventilated. The ETRI fan tray is the ventilation solution that cools equipment correctly, while optimizing space requirements.

Every project is special. Contact us for your adapted ventilation solution. Our ventilation trays can be adapted according to your needs, constraints, standards to be met, etc. For example, we can add status feedback indicators, adapt the supply voltage (AC, DC, EC), enable airflow control, respect the location and type of your connectors (front or rear of the tray). You can choose the appearance of the tray front panel: type of surface treatment, fixing points, handle, etc.

Our sales and R&D teams are at your disposal to guide you from the very first stages of your project in the choice of ventilation solutions and the development of suitable solutions.
