Features

Long Life With Expected Life of 100,000 Hours (Approx. 11 years)

This long life fan can withstand continuous duty for about 11 years.
The temperature rise of the bearing has been reduced, and the deterioration of grease, which affects the lifetime of the fan, has been suppressed.
Measures have been taken for longer service life of circuit/coupling and reduction of failure rate.
It is designed not only to prevent initial failure, but also to prevent accidental and abrasion failures.

[Expected Life]
The expected life indicates that 90 % min. of the fans will satisfy the following criteria when the acceleration test is performed at an operating ambient temperature of 60 °C (for MRE10, MRE12, 50 °C).

Criteria (For MRE Series)

  • Rotation speed (at rated voltage): 70 % min. of rated value
  • Input current (at rated voltage) : 130 % max. of rated value

Longest* Service Life in the Industry

The □250 mm axial flow fan is highly efficient with a winding design that meets the power supply specifications of each country, and suppresses the temperature rise of the cooling fans.
It has achieved the longest* service life in the industry.

  • *As of March 2021. Industrial Axial Flow Fan/AC Input Type/Same Size/Research by Oriental Motor
MRE25 with the longest service life in the industry

Lower Maintenance Costs and Overall Costs

As a result, fewer fan replacements are needed, reducing costs.

Service Life Comparison between Conventional Product and Long-Life Fan (Example)
Total Cost Simulation (Example)
  • *Estimated life is 35,000 hours at an ambient temperature of 60 °C. The estimated life is an estimated value calculated using the formula for the life of the bearing grease. The estimated life varies depending on the product name.

Suitable for Hard-to-Maintain Environment

The long life and low failure rate make it ideal for environments and equipment that are difficult to maintain.

[Example environment where maintenance cannot be easily performed]

  • Equipment is in continuous operation and cannot be stopped
  • Locations that are difficult to access such as on roads or in underground areas
  • Equipment that needs to be delivered or installed in remote areas
Base stations for cell phones, etc.
▲Base stations for cell phones, etc.

An alarm signal is output when the rotation speed of the fan deteriorates due to ingress of foreign particles, etc. This helps with predictive maintenance of equipment issues, as fans can be ordered and replaced before equipment is damaged by heat. It also allows replacement of only those fans with deteriorating cooling capacity when there are multiple fans installed. It can limit the impact on the equipment to minimum.

Low-Speed Alarm Function Equipped

Connector Connections Can Reduce Wiring Work

Since the fan and cable are connected by a connector, wiring work can be reduced.
For products with single-phase power supply, the capacitor is built into the fan body. Wiring for the capacitors used to be a hassle, but it is now hassle-free with connectors.

Three-Phase Power Supply Input Products Can Adjust the Air Flow by Speed Control Operation Using an Inverter

Three-Phase power supply input products can adjust the air flow by speed control operation using an inverter.
By using ceramic ball bearings, electric corrosion on the bearings due to noise can be prevented.

What is "electric corrosion"

When a fan is connected to an inverter or placed near equipment that generates high frequency signals, there is a possibility that electric current can flow within the bearing due to the influence of electromagnetic noise, leading to the occurrence of wave-like damage on the bearing surfaces.
This phenomenon is called 'electric corrosion' and it can be a cause of abnormal noise and reduced lifetime.

The three-phase 200V specification of the MRS Series* and MRE Series uses ceramic ball bearing in the bearing as a countermeasure against electric corrosion.
Ceramic ball bearing use ceramic as the material for the balls, which is an insulator, preventing the flow of current within the bearing and thereby preventing electric corrosion from occurring (Many fan ball bearings are made of metal).
We recommend using the MRS Series* or MRE Series as a countermeasure against electric corrosion not only when operating with speed control with an inverter but also when used near equipment that generates high frequency signals.

Fan operation using an inverter

Air Flow - Static Pressure Characteristics (Characteristics of a single fan)

Example) When MRE25 is combined with an inverter (reference value)

Example) When MRE25 is combined with an inverter (reference value)
  • The value when a general inverter is used at factory settings.
    The characteristics vary depending on the type and settings of the inverter.
  • Use 60 Hz or less for the inverter's setting frequency and 240 V or less for the inverter's input voltage.
  • If an inverter is connected to an alarm type fan and the setting frequency is set to lower value, the rotation speed may be reduced and the alarm may be activated.
You Can See the Characteristics Data for Combinations With Inverters

Reference data for combinations with inverters from other manufacturers is made available to make it easy to connect to inverters.
