EC technology is also gaining ground in range hoods. After all, this is the only way to satisfy increasingly strict energy efficiency requirements from the European Union. With the RadiFlex, ebm‑papst has developed an economical, high-performance EC blower for a wide range of applications that can be flexibly integrated into a wide range of hood types and enables the highest efficiency requirements to be fulfilled on the general market as well. This is because the RadiFlex offers a lot of power despite its compact design and low energy consumption.
