Accurate data. Better decisions. 

With ebm‑papst FanScout, you get reliable and highly accurate data because our software is based on real measured values. Not only is the performance of the individual fan components measured but also that of the fan as a complete system.

TÜV SÜD, a German technical service organization, also confirms that FanScout’s calculations are top class compared to real measurements.

Validation measurements have shown that the FanScout does not exaggerate when stating the efficiency. For this purpose, 15 reference points were selected for the measured fans and recorded on the certified chamber test rig. Comparing the measured air performance data with the data from FanScout shows that the calculated values from FanScout are almost identical to those measured under real conditions. And this means that ebm‑papst fans as delivered tend to have even higher efficiency than shown in FanScout. This gives you real planning certainty.

Correct FanGrid design

Picture full width FanGrids richtig auslegen

In the past, FanGrids were often designed based on the operating point with the highest air flow (maximum operating point). However, since this is seldom reached, with ebm‑papst FanScout you can specify up to five different operating states (operating points). For each operating point, you provide the operating time in hours per year.

Other information includes the required static pressure increase of the fans and the overall system air flow, followed by the desired redundancy. The redundancy specifies how many fans can be switched off without falling below the required air flow. The remaining fans compensate for the difference by adjusting their speed.

Finally, you specify the amount of space available for installation of the fans.

ebm‑papst FanScout also offers optional search parameters: the fan type and the number of fans installed.

Based on the parameters entered (operating points, desired level of redundancy, installation space, etc.), ebm‑papst FanScout determines the most energy-efficient FanGrid combination. The list shows the performance and efficiency of annual energy consumption, sorted in ascending order. The most efficient combination is listed first and displayed in green.

The fan combination selected in the results list is displayed as a characteristic curve at maximum modulation. The specified operating points are also displayed, with their size representing the proportion of operating time.

For the selected fan combination, the sound level of the individual operating points is shown for a fan; you can specify whether at the intake or outlet side.

Both the power consumption and the static efficiency at each operating point are shown in the diagrams so you can quickly get the overall picture.

The calculated operating points are supplemented by the operating time in years and the energy cost per kilowatt-hour, which are used to determine the basic operating costs. After you enter the costs for purchase, installation and service, the overall costs of the FanGrid over time are displayed: reliable information for better decisions.
