HY45T radial fan – compact, lightweight and indispensable for drone applications
As drones for both industrial and private applications are becoming increasingly more efficient, manufacturers are now being faced with new challenges with regard to the cooling of their electronic components. Especially the temperature control in compact constructions is a determining factor for ensuring the performance, service life and reliability of the drones.
The challenges facing drone technology
Modern drones use sophisticated electronics, for example powerful processors, GPS systems and image stabilizers. These components generate heat during operation that must be dissipated in order to prevent overheating as this in turn causes performance problems. Particularly in the compact housings of drones where space is limited and weight must be kept to a minimum, the integration of an adequate cooling solution presents a challenge.
Furthermore, the fans installed in drones are not only functional but must also operate quietly to prevent the noise level from increasing during flight. The air circulation and the airflow inside the drone must be optimized without affecting the aerodynamic drag.
The solution
The HY45T radial fan is the perfect solution for cooling electronic components in drones. With a thickness of a mere 5 mm, the fan itself fits into the most compact housing and is thus ideal for use in the limited space that prevails in drones.
Intake on both sides enables efficient cooling by directing the air precisely through the component and thus targeting the hotspots. This optimizes the cooling of individual components that are subject to excessive heat without the consumption of unnecessary heat required for cooling the entire system.
In addition to hotspot cooling, SEPA EUROPE also offers solutions for cooling the system when a complete exchange of air is required inside the housing. Thanks to its compact design and high performance, the HY45T is ideal for these applications. Due to the high built-up pressure, it can evenly distribute the airflow in the housing and in doing so ensure a constant cooling of the entire system without affecting the performance of the drone.
Technical advantages of the HY45T
- 5 mm thick: compact and space-saving, ideal for drones and other miniature devices.
- Intake on both sides: optimizes the airflow and maximizes the cooling performance.
- SEPA MagFix® bearing: ensures long service life and reliable performance.
- Powerful and quiet: the fan is optimized for high performance and a simultaneous low noise level. This is particularly significant in drone technology.
- PWM input: enables real time speed control which means precise adjustment of the cooling depending on the operating state.
- Tacho output: enables speed monitoring which allows constant control of the fan performance.
Practical application
In a typical drone, the HY45T is installed either close to the hotspots, e.g. processors, GPS modules or camera systems so that the generated heat can be directly dissipated, however, it can also be used to boost the exchange of air in the entire housing and consequently ensure uniform cooling of the system.
Conclusion
With the cooling solutions of SEPA EUROPE, in particular the HY45T radial fan, drone manufacturers can now ensure that their devices operate powerfully, reliably and efficiently. The compact, powerful HY45T radial fan stands not only for the effective cooling of hotspots but also of the entire system and in doing so supports the high performance and long service life of modern drones.
