ebm-papst Expands RadiPac C630 Fan Series with Higher Airflow Performance Capability
New EC motor platform delivers higher airflow, compact integration, intelligent controls and improved efficiency for ventilation and cooling applications.

The RadiPac C in size 630, equipped with a new, high-performance 214 EC motor, delivers up to 30% more airflow.
ebm-papst is expanding its series of compact ventilation systems with the release of the RadiPac C 630 fan. This technical update integrates a larger motor size and advanced power electronics to address the increasing airflow density requirements in data centers and industrial air handling units.
Increased Power Density in Data Center Air Handling
In the development of air handling and fan wall units, system architects face a continuous requirement for higher airflow and power density within strictly limited installation spaces. The RadiPac C 630 utilizes a newly developed electronically commutated motor, increasing the motor size to 214 while retaining the external dimensions of previous models. This configuration achieves an airflow rate that is up to 30 percent higher than systems equipped with size 150 motors. Operating in free-discharge mode, the unit reaches an airflow rate exceeding 25,000 cubic meters per hour. This capacity addresses specific use cases in data center cooling architecture and industrial air conditioning, where maximizing air volume throughput per cubic meter of equipment space is a primary engineering constraint.
System Architecture and Installation Flexibility
The fan unit employs a spider-frame design structured as a complete modular system. This approach eliminates the requirement for complex floor installation procedures during system assembly. The structural configuration provides engineering flexibility for the design of fan grid arrays and direct integration into primary air handling units. By utilizing existing equipment platforms, facility operators can upgrade their air circulation capacities without altering the physical footprint of the surrounding infrastructure.
Control Electronics and Active Power Factor Correction
The electronically commutated drive integrates 8-kilowatt control electronics based on a modular architecture. This system supports standard industrial control protocols, including 0-10 VDC and MODBUS-RTU, allowing for precise speed regulation and remote diagnostics. The electronics package also incorporates resonance monitoring to detect and mitigate structural vibrations during operation. An optional three-phase active power factor correction mechanism is available to manage power quality. This component filters harmonic distortion and stabilizes voltage, maintaining stable electrical conditions during the parallel operation of multiple fan units in high-density grid configurations.

This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement
In the industrial ventilation sector, electronically commutated plug fans are frequently evaluated against benchmark criteria including peak airflow capacity, acoustic performance, and total system efficiency. Competitive alternatives utilize similar modular fan grid architectures to optimize air distribution in data centers. Key performance indicators for these systems typically involve analyzing the electrical input power required to achieve 25,000 cubic meters per hour in free-discharge conditions, as well as the harmonic distortion levels present when multiple 8-kilowatt drives operate in parallel. The implementation of active power factor correction serves as a primary differentiator in applications where strict grid compliance and minimal reactive power are mandated by utility providers.
