Our Philosophy
Duty point specific fan design
- Aerodynamic duty point (CFD – Computational Fluid Dynamics)
- Structural integrity (FEA – Finite Element Analysis)
- Targeted dynamic (vibrational) response (FEA Modal Analysis)
- Fan aerodynamic and structural characteristics verified by independent third party evaluation
Key features
- No catalogues – each design unique to specific application/system
- High aerodynamic efficiencies combined with maximum protection against the effect of wind
- Blade configuration based on aviation industry principles
- High structural safety factor to guard against failure and fatigue
- Dynamic tuning to avoid dangerous resonance effects
- Reduction in blade and hub weight to reduce drive train stress
- Unique indexing system for accurate and fast blade angle setting/changes
State of the art production
- High quality resins not subject to the effects of aging
- CNC cutting of all fiber components
- Resin infusion process to ensure accuracy and repeatability
- Blade weight differences < 0.8%
- Blade mass distribution differences < 0.6%
