Airflow Sensor From Orion Fans Delivers Economical Fan Monitoring System DALLAS, TX (May 15, 2014) – Orion Fans, a leading manufacturer of standard and custom AC and DC fans, fan trays and accessories, has strengthened its product offering with a cost-effective airflow monitoring system. The AFM Series provides a simple, economical alternative for indicating airflow in AC or DC fan/blower applications. The AFM module operates an optical LED or audible alarm when airflow falls below 8.2 ft/s due to fan filter clogs or foreign materials coming in contact with the fan blade. Field retrofittable for AC or DC fan/blower applications, the AFM airflow sensor protects components like power supplies, PoE midspans, and displays in sensitive equipment including servers, telecom switches, medical equipment and kiosks. The module can be purchased already assembled to a grill, or sold separately to mount on any fan or blower grill. The plastic finger guard fits fan size configurations of 80mm, 92mm and 120mm.
“The AFM module is an affordable solution to monitor the airflow of AC fans or blowers compared to expensive systems that sell for 4 to 5 times more. This is also good for MRO applications since it is easily retrofitted into existing systems,” said David Luna, VP Marketing at Orion Fans. Placed on the output or input side of the fan, the AFM module mounts perpendicular to airflow via a clip, clamp or integration into a fan guard. It measures positive airflow by mounting in the front of the fan or negative airflow when mounting to the intake side of the fan. It provides a long operating life of more than 100,000 cycles, is IP20-rated and NEMA 1 certified to protect against dust and indirect splashing. The small size AFM Series is only 34mm x 17.5mm x 7.5mm. The RoHS-compliant AFM Series has an operation temperature range of -20 degree C to 50 degree C. AFM Series airflow monitoring units start at $37.50 in small volumes.
