Description
The ebm-papst RG160-28/14NM (also known as RG1602814NM) is a high-performance single-intake DC centrifugal blower fan measuring 220 × 220 × 56 mm (8.66 × 8.66 × 2.20 in). Operating on a rated 24 VDC supply across an input range of 12 to 28 VDC, it delivers an airflow rate of 81.8 CFM (139.0 m³/h) at a nominal rotational speed of 1900 RPM while consuming just 7.0 W. Engineered for demanding industrial cooling, it features a glass-fiber reinforced plastic backward-curved impeller housed in a hybrid composite scroll with a sheet steel base, supported by precision dual ball bearings. Electrical connection is provided via AWG 22 TR 64 lead wires, backed by integrated reverse polarity and electronic locked-rotor overload protection.
Key Features
- Hybrid Scroll Construction: Combines a glass-fiber reinforced plastic scroll with a rigid sheet steel baseplate.
- Backward-Curved Impeller: Generates efficient high static pressure overcoming dense internal airflow impedance effortlessly.
- Precision Ball Bearings: Provides reliable continuous operation with an L10 service life of 80,000 hours.
- Comprehensive Circuit Safety: Integrated electronic protection safeguards internal circuitry from reverse polarity and locked-rotor overloads.
- Wide Voltage Capability: Maintains steady aerodynamic performance across an operational input range of 12 to 28 VDC.
