In the air filtration industry, high-performance cooling fans are crucial. One of our clients, a leader in air filtration technology, faced a common problem: they needed a 12V DC axial fan that could deliver excellent airflow, operate quietly, and change RPMs in under a second. They had been using the EBM-PAPST 4312 N/2H3P but found it too noisy and expensive. Mega Tech’s MG12038 fan provided the perfect solution.
1. Understanding the Need for High-Performance Cooling Fans
Our client’s requirements for a 12V DC axial fan included:

- Voltage: 12V DC
- Type: Axial fan with two ball bearings
- Size: 120mm x 120mm x 38mm
- Control: PWM (4 lines: +, -, PWM, Tachy)
- Noise Level: Under 50dB
- Airflow: 285m³/h (168 CFM) or more
- Static Pressure: 140 Pa (14.3 mmH2O) or more
- Weight: Low inertia for fast RPM changes
- Operational Cycle: 2 seconds at full speed, then 6 seconds at 10% or 0%, with a 1-second start/stop time.
2. Replacing EBM-PAPST with a Better Solution
The EBM-PAPST 4312 N/2H3P had been their go-to fan for years. However, it didn’t meet their evolving needs:
- High Noise Levels: The fan’s noise was higher than desired.
- Cost Issues: The cost was becoming prohibitive.
- RPM Challenges: The inertia made quick RPM changes difficult, impacting operational efficiency.
3. Introducing the MG12038 High-Performance Cooling Fan
The MG12038 from Mega Tech was the perfect replacement. It provides:
- High Airflow: Over 285m³/h, ensuring effective cooling.
- Low Noise: Operating at under 50dB, quieter than the EBM-PAPST model.
- Low Inertia: It can change RPMs in under a second, meeting the client’s operational cycle.
- Customization: PWM control and ball bearings offer flexibility for various applications.
4. Customizing the MG12038 to Meet Specific Needs
We worked closely with our client to customize the MG12038 axial fan:
- Low Inertia Design: We reduced weight and optimized balance for fast RPM changes.
- PWM Control: Equipped with 4-line PWM control for precise speed adjustments.
- Noise Reduction: Advanced aerodynamic design minimized noise levels.
5. Performance Comparison: MG12038 vs. EBM-PAPST 4312 N/2H3P
Here’s how the MG12038 stacks up against the EBM-PAPST 4312 N/2H3P:
Feature | MG12038 | EBM-PAPST 4312 N/2H3P |
Airflow | 290m³/h (Exceeds Req.) | 285m³/h |
Noise Level | 48dB | 52dB |
RPM Change | 1.2 seconds | 1.2 seconds |
Cost | 60% more cost-effective | N/A |
6. Successful Integration and Results
After integrating the MG12038 fan into their air filtration equipment, the client reported:
- Faster RPM Changes: The equipment could maintain its cycle without compromising performance.
- Reduced Noise: Quieter operation improved the working environment.
- Cost Savings: The MG12038 was 20% more cost-effective than the EBM-PAPST, leading to immediate savings.
7. Why Choose the MG12038 Cooling Fan?
Here’s why the MG12038 axial fan is the ideal choice for air filtration applications:
- Cost-Effective: Significant savings compared to other high-performance fans.
- High Performance: Superior airflow and static pressure for efficient cooling.
- Low Noise: Quieter operation reduces noise pollution.
- Rapid RPM Changes: Low inertia design allows for quick adjustments.
- Customizable: Tailored solutions meet specific operational needs.
