AxiCool represents a new level in the evaporator and air cooler
market, thanks to the high system efficiency achieved through theperfect interaction of the individual components. With advantages forboth the application and for operators, AxiCool offers even more: Thecompact axial fan features excellent air throw, easy handling,maximum operating safety, and economical operation. Exceptional
design, ease of operation, and the sparing use of resources round off
the spectrum of positive features. The AxiCool fans are based on theHyBlade® product range.

2So fresh will stay fresh.

The AxiCool series has an important function to fulfill: to keep food in cold storage fresh under hygienic conditions. That’s why AxiCool is
specially designed to ensure an ideal environment right from the start – with the emphasis on hygiene and food safety.

Maximum hygiene, optimum food safety.
A high standard of refrigeration is required to maintain the quality ofstored products – only minimal temperature fluctuations anddrying-out of the refrigerated items is permissible and the defrostingcycles must be short. All these conditions are satisfied by the ideal
distribution of cold air in the cold room, aided by innovative concepts
such as the patented fan housing design. AxiCool is fully equipped tomeet special challenges such as cheese maturing processes or thestorage of sensitive fruit and vegetables.
When it comes to hygiene, AxiCool does not compromise. AxiCool
features a high level of splash water protection (up to IP 55) andsmooth surfaces with no visible screws. The great advantage: dirt
cannot get a grip. Furthermore, the hinge function ensures easycleaning according to HACCP specifications. The integrated hinge
function in AxiCool up to size 450 makes cleaning especially fast.
Simply unfasten the screws, open up the fan, and clean it.

AxiCool fan – quickly installed in the evaporator.
Plug & Play: There is no longer any need to worry about aligning andgap dimensions. Installation of the AxiCool is quick and easy – just afew screws and a cable connection are required.

inseparable issues. This GreenTech concept is embedded in theebm-papst philosophy and characterizes the entire lifecycle of theproduct with recycling, waste avoidance, ecological materials, loweremission levels, reduced energy consumption and hence greater efficiency. For example, AxiCool attains this efficiency with a GreenTech
EC motor that operates at various speed settings or with regulation byway of a linear interface. In addition, AxiCool supports the concept ofsustainability with a particularly long service life. It is often possible topreserve resources with simple means. From the outset, AxiCool wasdesigned to have smooth surfaces to facilitate cleaning and thus savewater.

A fresh breeze for industrial refrigeration.

Conventional AC fan with short nozzle: The air flows behind theaxial impeller in widening spiral swirls into the room.

With the AxiCool, a significant part of the air swirl is deflected
through a stationary streamer in the axial direction before exiting
into the room. The increased air velocity helps the AxiCool toachieve a static pressure increase and thus greater air flow. At
the same time, this relieves pressure from the motor, which canbe noticed by a reduction in the power consumption. To put it ina nutshell: The AxiCool conveys more air with less energy
consumption.

Thanks to an efficiency that is significantly better than AC fans,
EC fans reduce the heat transfer into the cold store, which isnaturally a great advantage for cooling applications. At the sametime, energy consumption is reduced. This way, the overall efficiencyof the refrigerating plant can be increased further.
