How to Choose the Right Fan Motor for a Refrigeration System

The fan motor is the component that moves air through a refrigeration system and so makes heat transfer possible. Rejecting heat from the condenser and the evaporator depends to a large degree on having chosen the fan motor correctly.

Axial fan or Q-fan?

• AC axial fans are the choice for condenser and refrigeration applications that need high airflow.
• Q-fan motors stand out in commercial refrigeration equipment for their compact body and quiet running.

What to check when selecting

• Diameter (mm): anywhere from 200 mm to 630 mm, depending on the application.
• Speed (rpm): the 900 and 1400 rpm options set the balance between airflow and noise.
• Mounting and supply: single-phase or three-phase supply and the mounting type must suit the system.

The TR-FAN product family covers a wide span, from AC axial fans through to Q-fan motors. Browse the range to find the model that fits your requirement.
