Product detailed description
Whisperblower EC 1400 m3/h, 150/160 mm - performance, savings and smooth control
For a larger growroom where you want proper extraction as well as savings and the option to reduce speed, there is the Whisperblower EC 1400 m3/h. The ebm-papst EC motor provides smooth 0-100 % control, and the silenced body with a double 150/160 mm flange keeps noise low even at full output.
Why the Whisperblower is quieter
The Whisperblower is not a standard fan with an additional silencer. It is a silenced design with redesigned aerodynamics of the housing and impeller, developed in cooperation with ebm-papst. Air inside flows like on a roller coaster - the new channel geometry creates higher pressure and airflow at the same energy efficiency while also reducing noise compared with the standard range of the same diameter.
What the ebm-papst EC motor does
The EC motor is an electronically commutated motor with electronics integrated directly into the housing. It stands out for low power consumption, quiet operation and smooth speed control. Unlike cheap phase control on AC motors, energy is not lost on the way to the motor, so the fan runs efficiently and without unnecessary humming. EC is a type of motor, not a way of connecting it to something else.
Key parameters
- Flange diameter: 150/160 mm (double)
- Max. airflow: 1400 m3/h
- Power input: 170 W
- Motor: EC ebm-papst, smooth control 0-100 %
- Power supply: 230 V, 1.4 A
- Dimensions: 334 x 367 mm
Matching with the filter and ducting
Always choose the same diameter for the fan, filter flange and ducting - in this model 150/160 mm. A carbon filter increases the resistance of the system, so size the fan with a reserve above the needs of the growing space and match the filter and ducting to the same 150/160 mm diameter. Otherwise, mismatched diameters add unnecessary resistance, reduce performance and increase noise.
What space it suits
The 1400 model covers a more demanding growroom with a large filter. Want the speed controlled by a temperature sensor? Choose the Whisperblower EC-TC 1400 m3/h; for temperature and humidity, choose the Whisperblower EC-THC.
What to buy with the fan
Fit the WHSPEC 150 mm carbon filter from the same range. You adjust the speed with smooth 0-100 % control directly on the fan housing; for automatic control according to temperature and humidity, choose the EC-TC / EC-THC variants mentioned above. The range is in the fans with EC motor category.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce the speed?
With smooth 0-100 % control directly on the fan housing. For automatic control according to temperature and humidity, choose the EC-TC or EC-THC version with built-in control.
Is EC worth it on a large fan?
Yes, on the 1400 model in continuous operation, the lower consumption of the EC motor shows up most on the bill.
Is it noisy at full power?
The silenced housing and EC motor keep noise low. If you need to quieten it even more, reduce the speed with the control.
