In the past, achieving airflow in two different directions typically required the use of two fans. This raised the cost of materials, required extra design space for two fans, and made maintenance more complicated. However, by using Mega’s reversible DC fans, you only need one fan to achieve this functionality. This is where Mega’s reversible DC fans shine.
Robust Performance and Efficient Cooling
Mega’s reversible DC fans offer outstanding high-speed performance. They can provide strong cooling in the forward direction and achieve similar performance levels in the reverse direction. This all-around performance ensures that your system can maintain excellent cooling whether it’s running in the forward or reverse direction. Moreover, the fans use PWM signals to control speed, enabling users to easily reduce noise and save energy by adjusting fan speed.
Key Features:
- Locked rotor short circuit protection
- Reverse polarity protection
- UL 94V-0 plastic frame and impeller
- Customizable voltage
- 25kHz PWM frequency
- 500VAC dielectric strength for 1 minute at 50/60Hz
- Insulation resistance greater than 10MΩ measured with 500VDC megohmmeter
One Fan, Multiple Uses
Traditionally, achieving airflow in two different directions required two fans. However, this design increased costs, occupied more space, raised maintenance demands, and introduced additional points of failure in the system. Mega’s reversible fans, with their bidirectional cooling performance, enable one fan to control airflow in two directions. This reduces equipment costs, saves space, simplifies system maintenance, and enhances reliability.
How to Control Reversible Fans
One method of control is PWM speed control, where a fixed-frequency AC square wave signal is provided to the fan. Adjust the duty cycle of the waveform to match the desired speed. Usually, the frequency remains fixed at 25KHz, with a range of frequencies accepted by most manufacturers as specified in their datasheets.By varying the duration of the waveform’s positive voltage (high level) and zero voltage (low level), you can control the fan’s speed from 0% to 100%. This 0% to 100% duty cycle can be matched to the fan’s speed curve in any desired manner. In most cases, customers prefer 0% for a complete stop or lowest RPM and 100% for full-speed. A 0% duty cycle is like grounding the PWM line (0V), and 100% keeps it at a high voltage. Some fans run at 100% RPM with a disconnected “floating” PWM input, offering flexibility in various applications.

Diverse Application Scenarios
Mega’s reversible DC fans excel in various application scenarios, including:
- Home and Industrial Sectors: Whether you are a homeowner generating your power or a professional in the electrical industry, Mega’s fans provide excellent cooling performance to meet various application needs. This includes energy conversion, cooling for storage cabinets, and cooling for energy storage facilities in power control systems.
- Outdoor Applications: Fans can be used in outdoor settings where airflow is typically unidirectional, but periodic reverse airflow helps prevent ventilation paths from being obstructed by insects or other environmental debris. This reduces the need for costly maintenance access to remote locations.
- Seasonal Changes: Certain equipment must alter airflow direction with seasonal environmental changes, and Mega’s fans adapt easily.
- Airflow Control: Fans are suitable for applications needing dynamic airflow control when large dampers are hard to integrate.
- HVAC Systems: In certain HVAC applications, occasional introduction of outdoor air is needed to comply with building regulations.
