EC Motor Technology in SKOV-SECCO Recirculation Fans

Recirculation and air outlet fans play a crucial role in the SKOV-SECCO ventilation system for dairy barns.

SKOV-SECCO fans are engineered to provide a high airflow ratio while consuming low energy.

Our latest line of recirculation fans now includes models with electronically commutated (EC) motors. This technology allows fans to operate more efficiently, ensuring optimal production conditions throughout the year.

Overview of the EC motors' benefits:

• Energy Efficiency: EC motors are highly efficient as they simplify motor operation and convert a high percentage of electrical energy into valuable mechanical work.

• Variable Speed Control: EC motors allow precise adjustments in fan speed based on specific requirements. This flexibility optimizes fan performance and contributes to energy savings. Our EC motors can be easily controlled by an analog 0-10V DC.

• Cost Reduction: The most significant benefit of our EC motor recirculation fans is their cost-saving potential. They can drastically reduce their energy costs by requiring less power to operate. In fact, when compared to AC fans, our EC fans can save dairy farm owners and barn managers up to 40% on energy*, making them a smart and economical choice.

• Quieter Operation: Precise adjustments to meet specific needs often lead to quieter fan operation, as the fan doesn't run at full speed. Furthermore, the vibration-free running of the motor in EC motors automatically makes it more quiet. A quieter operation means a better working environment in dairy barns.

• Uniform Climate during Winter: The EC recirculation fans' variable speed allows them to operate in circulation mode throughout the winter at their lowest speed, regulating and achieving more consistent humidity and temperature levels inside the barn.

• Extended Lifespan: Since EC motors produce less heat, their windings and bearings experience less stress, which extends the motor's lifespan.

• Environmentally Friendly Choice: EC motor fans help to reduce environmental impact by using less power, making them a green option for eco-conscious farmers.

*Energy saving percentage depends on the climate and the temperature outside the barn.
