What is the lifestime of the fan?
The lifetime of a DC fan depends on many factors, including bearing type, usage environment, operating conditions, etc. Under ideal conditions, the theoretical lifetime of a fan is usually between 25,000 and 50,000 hours.
Specifically, different bearing types have an important impact on fan lifetime:
1. Sleeve bearing: This type of bearing is relatively cheap, but has a short life, usually around 25,000 hours. It is suitable for use at relatively low operating loads and ambient temperatures.
2. Two ball bearing: This bearing technology has a longer life, usually reaching a lifetime of 50,000 hours. DC fans made of this type of bearings can maintain good performance in high temperature environments and are suitable for equipment that requires long-term stable operation.
3. EL bearing: This is EVERCOOL’s exclusive patented technology, which combines the advantages of sleeve bearing and two ball bearing. Fans with this type of bearing can typically achieve a lifetime of 40,000 hours or more while maintaining low noise characteristics.
In addition to bearings, the life of a fan is also affected by external factors, such as:
1. Ambient temperature: High temperature will accelerate bearing wear and lubricating oil volatilization, shortening the life of the fan.
2. Dust and dirt: These particles can get into the bearings and increase friction and wear, thus reducing the life of the fan.
Therefore, when selecting a DC fan, consider the appropriate bearing type and fan specifications based on specific application requirements, and regularly maintain and clean the fan, which can effectively extend the service life of the fan.
