The symbol of our commitment
GreenTech is a name put to the philosophy ebm-papst has used for decades:
“each new product that we develop has to be better than its predecessor in
terms of economy and ecology.” Our company philosophy is not just for
designing new and more efficient fans and blowers; it is in practice in the
offices and factories, locally and internationally. At the U.S. headquarters, two
separate arrays of solar panels have been installed to provide the engineering
building with electricity, along with additional renovations that make the
facilities even more environmentally friendly.
GreenTech symbolizes our continuous commitment, achievements, and passion
to provide customers with high quality products through the use of modern
development and production methods, responsible business practices and
initiatives that benefit not only the user, but the environment as well.
What is EC Technology?
EC technology is an important factor in our GreenTech philosophy. ebm-papst
EC fans use permanent magnet external rotor DC motors with fully integrated
electronic commutation (EC) and AC to DC power conversion. EC motors give
the flexibility of connecting to AC mains with the efficiency and simple speed
control of a DC motor. With EC fans, the user benefits from the innovative
commutation without wear-and-tear on the motor. The EC motor compares
to the direct current shunt-wound motor except that the magnetic field is
generated by permanent magnets inside the rotor.
With this technology, EC motors and fans can be easily controlled, are
maintenance-free, offer outstanding efficiency and have a considerably long
service life. The variable speed range possible in EC technology makes using a
multitude of individual models a thing of the past.
Our R&D efforts are not only focused on saving energy. In terms of air
performance and low noise, our products exceed the toughest specifications.
EC technology pays off for every owner or operator, while conserving precious
energy resources. When you use intelligent ebm-papst EC technology in your
applications, everyone wins - companies, customers, and the environment.

Market Overview

The LED market
With high visible light, low radiant energy, and no infrared or ultraviolet light,
LEDs are the most efficient light source in the lighting market today. While as
much as 80% more energy efficient than traditional incandescent lighting, LED
components still create a considerable amount of heat. High temperatures can
cut the lifespan of an LED light in half. Temperatures over the maximum rated
junction can quickly weaken the lumen output and the color quality of LEDs.
By dissipating the heat emitted by the LED light source, the efficiency
and length of life of the light source can increase exponentially. Thermal
management is a key factor in lumen output. For high-lumen output
applications, passive cooling is not enough. In order to reach the desired
lumen values in a small form factor, active cooling is the perfect solution to
effectively disperse the heat produced by LED components. Active cooling
solutions are a new contender in LED thermal management systems.
Dissipating heat directly from the core of the modules allows for less
thermal resistance, making the entire assembly more efficient. Active cooling
technology offers thermal capabilities that are superior to passive heat
sinks and can raise performance while significantly reducing the size of the
lighting fixture. With industry-leading German-engineered compact fans and
American-designed assemblies, ebm-papst can provide the perfect cooling
solution for your LED application. One of the most significant advantages
that ebm-papst fans have on the life of the LED light is due to the reliability of
our products. With active cooling solutions far surpassing the 50,000+ hour
promise the industry is accustomed to, an ebm-papst fan is now the LED
light’s most efficient cooling source.

Active Cooling for LED Modules & CoBs
A new technology for the LED Market
“Today’s high-performance LEDs, particularly the type known as “Chip-on-Board” (CoB), are the fastest-growing package style for lighting. CoBs are arrays
of small die placed together under a single phosphor pour. There are many LED cooling technologies; yet, few have truly addressed the unique requirements
of LED systems. ebm-papst, one of the most innovative manufacturers of precision fans and blowers, has introduced their Active Cooling solutions - small,
specialized fan/heat sinks engineered expressly for high-power LED applications.
ebm-papst’s fan mechanism offers a particularly reliable service life in the hundreds of thousands of hours (> 300K with certain models). Designed to be nearly
silent, each fan is enclosed in an acoustic isolation ring, bringing the net acoustic noise to less than 7dB. A very impressive noise reduction when compared to
background noise in a quiet office usually about 40 dB. When used with a CoB device, the cooling fan effectively lowers the heat temperature to 90º F/36º C.
Typically, CoB devices should be kept at less than 120ºC. Using the ebm-papst cooling devices provides far lower temperatures than required parameters. In
addition to significant noise and heat reduction, ebm-papst offers an impressive 5-year warranty on fans - far exceeding the life-span of most CoBs. Regardless
of manufacturer, we think the ebm-papst active cooling solution is an excellent approach – almost a “platform” - for all CoB lighting systems.”
