    1) A cooling fan is selected for a DC power supply inside a cabinet. The power supply generates 77W of heat and needs to be cooled from an internal temperature of 70°C to below 30°C ambient. 2) Calculations determine the required air flow is 1.75x10-3 m3/s or 6.3 m3/h. 3) A fan is selected with over twice the maximum air flow, in this case the MU825S-53 fan with 0.45 m3/min flow.

    COOLING FANS
    Example Selection
    In this example, an appropriate cooling fan is selected to cool a DC power supply inside a cabinet.
    The fan’s power comes directly from an AC power supply, so select an AC fan.

    Characteristics
    Overview and
    of Fans
    Types of Fans
    Output: PoDC24V, 7.5A
    Efficiency: 70%
    Maximum temperature within the device: maximum 70˚C
    Ambient temperature: 30˚C

    Cabinet with DC power supply

    Selecting a Fan
    q Heat Generated Within Device
    With an output of PO (W), an efficiency of  and a loss of PL (W):
    P 0 = η • (P 0 + P L)
    1 –η
    PL = P0 • η
    = 24 × 7.5 × 1 – 0.7 = 77(W)
    0.7
    Therefore, the loss is 77 (W). And same value of heat is generated.

    Q&A
    w Calculate the Required Air Flow
    V= Q
    ρ • C p • (T −T a ) Where,
    77 The required air flow is: V (m3/s)
    =
    1.1 × 1000 × (70 – 30) The heat generated is: Q (W)
    = 1.75 × 10 -3 (m 3/ s) The air density is:  (about 1.1kg/m3)

    Glossary
    = 6.3 (m 3 / h) The specific heat of air is: Cp (about 1000J/(kg˚C))
    = 0.1 (m 3 / min)

    e Select a Fan
    Select a fan with a maximum air flow twice that of the required air flow found in step w. The MU825S-53 has a maximum air flow
    of 0.45 (m3/min), which is larger than 0.1  2  0.2 (m3/min).
    Use of Fans

    r Check the Temperature Within the Device


    Check the temperature within the device when the MU825S-53 is used. If the ventilated air flow is half the fan’s maximum air
    flow, or 0.23 (m3/min), then
    T= Q + Ta
    ρ • Cp • V / 60
    = 77 + 30
    1.1 × 1000 × 0.23 / 60
    = 48°C
    Technical Notes

    Since the design target is 70˚C, there is a margin of 22˚C.
