SummarySummary3 Benefits of PWM

– Reduced Acoustics– Decreased Energy– Increase Fan Performance

Electronics Enclosure require a custom thermal solutionIndustry just started to use High Freq PWM for fan speed control

– Computers will continue to use PWM fans for the next few years – Next Technology Programmable Smart Fans

One PWM fan for many part numbers– Of similar size and CFM– Change RPM by PWM ctrl software
