Overview and characteristics of fan

Overview
A cooling fan is widely used to extend life of your system by cooling off heat of the system that many electrical components are mounted
in a very high density and dissipating heat. Since we Sanyo Denki developed San Ace which is the first AC fan in Japan in 1965, we have
increased fan motor lineup until now meeting customer s needs rapidly based on our tremendous career. We Sanyo Denki will continue to
develop new fans with high air flow, low noise, low vibration, and energy - saving design.

Characteristics
We can roughly devide fan into two types which are AC and DC.
AC Fans DC Fans
Sanyo Denki succeeded in the mass-production of AC fans in Sanyo Denki succeeded in the mass-production of DC fans in 1982.
1965. Sanyo Denki was the first Japanese manufacturer to have ●High performance
succeeded at this. ●Low power consumption
●High performance ●Low vibration
●High reliability ●Low leakage of flux
●Safety ●High reliability

Sanyo Denki currently has a wider variety of products like Long Life Fan, CPU cooler, Splash Proof Fan, and Oil Proof Fan etc to meet all
customer needs.

Guideline in selecting a fan

How to select an appropriate fan

The following example is a guideline regarding how to select an appropriate fan for cooling your system

1. Determining of your system specifications System

and conditions Fan
Determine the temperature rise inside your system and obtain the total heating value ℃
inside your system on the basis of its inputs and outputs.
 Example
T Q'
V : Total heating value of your system（W）=100（W）
△T : Inside temperature rise（K）=15（K）
V
2. Calculating the Required Air flow for Cooling Heat source
After the equipment specifications and conditions of your system have been determined, calculate required air flow to meet the conditions.
(Note that the formula shown below only applies when the heat radiation is performed only by cooling air from the fan.)
 Example
 Q': Motion air flow（m3/min）
V 100（W）
Q = = ≒0.33（m3/min）
20△T 20×15（K）

3. Selecting the Fan

After the motion air flow has been calculated, select an appropriate fan motor based on the value.The motion air flow when the fan
motor is actually mounted in your system can be obtained using the air flow-static pressure characteristics curve and system impedance.
However, the system impedance cannot be measured without a measuring equipment, so fan with 1.5 to 2 times higher air flow than the
actual Max air flow should be selected (operating air flow is one-third to two-thirds of maximum air flow).
Example
Q: Maximum air flow（m3/min） Characteristics of air flow versus static pressure
and those of pressure losses of equipment
Q =Q×2/3
Static pressure
Q=Q ×3/2=0.33×3/2≒0.5（m3/min）
Next, In case that you select a fan having an air flow of 0.5 (m3/min) or more and a appropriate
System impedance
size for the space inside your system.
For example, If you need a fan of 60mm square, 25mm thickness and 12V, you should select
is 109R0612H402 (maximum air flow = 0.53m3/min). Pressure loss

4. Confirming the Selected Fan Operating air flow Air flow

Calculate the temperature rise inside your sysetem when your sysetem having 100 (W) of
total heating value is forcefully cooled down by a 109R0612H402 fan.
 Example
  Q =Q×2/3=0.53×2/3≒0.353（m3/min）
  △T =V/20Q =100（W）/20×0.353（m3/min）≒14.2（K）
From the above, the temperature rise inside your system is calculated as 14.2（K）.

Since the value obtained from the above equation is only a rough target, final fan selection should be based on your actual installation test.

Reliability and Life Expectancy
A cooling fan generally cools itself as well. The temperature rise conducted on the basis of the concept that the expected life halves
of the motor is relatively low and the temperature rise of the as the ambient temperature rises by about 15℃ (within the operating
grease in the bearings is also low, so expected life is longer than temperature range of lubricant.)

Overheating protection function

Protection Functions:
If the fan blades are restricted, an overcurrent occurs and leads to a rise in the fan coil temperature. This can result in reduced
performance, damage, or a fire. To prevent this from occurring, Sanyo Denki s fans incorporate an overheating protection function. Refer
to the catalog for the types of protection functions.

Burnout protection function at locked rotor condition

● Current cutoff system
If the fan blades are restricted, the coil current is cut off at regular cycles to prevent overheating of the coil. When the hindrance is
removed, the fan restarts automatically. (For the San Ace 200〈Model. No: 9EC20****, 9GV20****〉, however, the power needs to
be turned off and on again to restart.).

Reverse polarity protection function

No problem about fan even if positive & negative lead are connected in reverse.
(However fans with sensor & speed control are excluded.)

Specifications for DC fan sensors

Pulse sensor (Tach output type) example
Pulse sensor outputs two pulse waves per revolution of fan, and it is good to detect fan speed. Pulse sensors can be incorporated in all kinds
of DC fans.

PWM Speed Control Function

The PWM speed control function is a function that externally controls the rotation speed of the fan by changing the duty of the input pulse
signal between the control terminal and GND.
It regulates optimum airflow for efficient cooling when necessary, and is effective for lowering power consumption and reducing equipment
noise level.
* Some models can not have PWM speed control function. Contact us for more information.

Cautions for use of a cooling fan in the vicinity of a power switching circuit (prevention of electrolytic corrosion) Custom Product
Refer to page 340

If a fan is installed near a large-power or high-voltage switching circuit, the heavy electromagnetic noise resulting from electromagnetic
induction in such circuits or the influence of high-frequency noise imposed through the power line of the fan may induce current through the
shaft bearing of the fan.Such current may damage the oil film on the bearing and even the friction surface of the bearing.This adverse effect
is known as "electrolytic corrosion of the fan."Electrolytic corrosion affects the smooth revolution of the fan and may reduce its service life. An
audible symptom is unusual noise emitted from the fan.This adverse effect is often observed and may partly be explained by the practice of
mounting high-density parts, which reduces the gap between the switching circuits and the fan and the use of higher switching frequencies apt
to provoke induction. Data processing/communications devices that operate at low voltages are not liable to electrolytic corrosion since they
generate less electromagnetic noise.
A Case of Electrolytic Corrosion
Fans without anti-corrosion features installed near components that The curve shown in the graph below represents the relationship

(5)Countermeasure 2: To use a fan with ceramic bearings 
(6)Cables should be twisted in order to decrease induction to the power line for the fan.
Note 1：Shielding metal plate
As an electromagnetic shield metal, "EMC Guard" is available from our company. http://www.sanyodenki.co.jp/product /newfan/indexf.html
Certain shielding effect can be expected from mounting a general-purpose finger guard inside the fan. In each case, grounding to the cabinet is required.
Note2：Filter
Insert a common mode filter when the high-frequency electricity is superimposed on both lines "a" and "b" in the same phase and, if not, insert a normal mode filter.

Measures against Electrolytic Corrosion

(1) Relocate fans far from all electromagnetic noise sources.
(2) Use anti-corrosion fans equipped with ceramic bearings.
(3) Attach an EMC guard to ordinary fans.
(4) As a power supply, the fan is wired from a circuit for which noise is not superimposed.
*The EMC guard could be effective against electromagnetic noise caused by radiation, but against heavy electromagnetic noise (electromagnetic induction)
and conductive noise from the power supply line for a fan, we recommend the use of an "anti-electrolytic corrosion fan" with ceramic bearing.

Comparison of ribbed and ribless structures

Regarding plastic frame, we have a option ribbed and ribless about mounting. Please use preferred type up to your application. Please use ribbed fan in
case that you hook fan up clamping either side fan mounting hole target. (According to the model, only models with or without ribs are available.)
*Use a fan with a rib structure when using a screw for piercing.
・When securing screws to ribless plastic frame models, use a flange to
secure on one side.
