Select ball bearing models for >5-year service FAQ About Elevator Cooling Fans How do elevator fans differ from standard industrial fans? They feature reinforced housings to withstand vertical vibrations and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for sensitive control systems. What size fan suits tight elevator machine rooms? Ultra-thin 40mm models (15-25mm depth) with side-draft designs optimize space. Cooltron provides CAD models for clearance verification. Can these fans operate in -20°C to 70°C environments? Yes, with cold-start lubricants and high-temp magnets. We recommend derating CFM by 15% above 60°C. Does Cooltron offer waterproof fans for outdoor elevators? IP68 submersible models available with corrosion-resistant coatings. Pass 500-hour salt spray testing. What's the typical lifespan in elevator applications? 7+ years with proper maintenance. Our predictive maintenance kits monitor bearing wear and airflow efficiency. Elevator cooling directly impacts passenger safety and operational uptime.
