Fans are often used to move air around equipment, but the right setup depends on the equipment manufacturer's thermal requirements. A large fan is not automatically the best choice.

Check the equipment requirement

Use the airflow and temperature guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer.

Avoid direct assumptions

A fan can move air without guaranteeing that an enclosure will remain within a safe operating temperature.

Think about dust

In dusty areas, airflow can also introduce dust. Maintenance and filtration may be important.

Use the controller

Variable speed can make it easier to tune airflow for the specific application.
