In modern industrial and commercial cooling applications, energy efficiency and reliability have become the foundation of sustainable operation.
Retrofitting outdated cooling towers with Belmont EC Axial Fans provides an immediate, measurable improvement in airflow performance, energy savings, and system stability — all while reducing maintenance and noise.
Belmont’s X-Pro EC Axial Fan Series, with its integrated diffuser and guide vane design, delivers exceptional efficiency for cooling tower modernization and HVAC retrofits.
Traditional AC-driven fans are energy-intensive and difficult to control precisely.
By replacing them with Belmont EC (Electronically Commutated) Fans, operators gain access to variable speed control, digital communication, and lower power consumption.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Energy Savings | Up to 30–40% reduction in power consumption through variable speed EC motor control. |
| Smart Control | Integrated 0–10V / PWM / RS485 Modbus-RTU for seamless system automation. |
| Reduced Maintenance | Direct-drive EC motors eliminate belts and pulleys — no lubrication required. |
| Low Noise Operation | CFD-optimized impeller blades and diffuser minimize turbulence. |
| Longer Service Life | Maintenance-free bearings and IP55 protection ensure durability even in humid tower environments. |
The Belmont X-Pro EC Axial Fan is built with a bionic airfoil blade and one-piece molded housing, integrating both guide vanes and a pressure-side diffuser.
This design enhances static pressure and reduces aerodynamic loss, achieving efficiency levels up to 59% — fully compliant with ErP2026 requirements.
Each EC motor is equipped with RS485 communication, allowing real-time data feedback and control via Building Automation Systems (BAS).
Through variable frequency modulation, the fan automatically adjusts speed to maintain optimal cooling tower performance under changing thermal loads.
Over 40 reliability tests confirm long-term stability, while the direct-drive motor design ensures smooth, low-vibration operation, reducing mechanical wear and noise levels.
| Parameter | Before Retrofit (AC Fan) | After Retrofit (Belmont EC Fan) |
|---|---|---|
| Fan Type | AC Motor Axial Fan | X-Pro EC Axial Fan |
| Power Input | 9.5 kW | 6.2 kW |
| Noise Level | 78 dB(A) | 68 dB(A) |
| Control | Fixed Speed | Variable Speed (Modbus) |
| Efficiency | ~42% | 59% |
| Maintenance | Belt Replacement & Bearing Grease | Maintenance-Free |
| Result | – | Energy savings > 30%, noise reduced by 10 dB(A) |
Belmont EC Axial Fans are suitable for:
Cooling Tower Retrofits (industrial & commercial)
HVAC & Chiller Upgrades
Heat Pump Condenser Units
Data Center Airflow Optimization
Ventilation Systems for Energy Recovery Units
EC motors integrate electronic speed control directly into the motor, minimizing energy loss and allowing precise speed modulation. They achieve up to 30% higher efficiency compared to AC motors.
Yes. Belmont EC fans are available in standard retrofit sizes (800–1000 mm) and can directly replace traditional AC fans without major structural modifications.
They are belt-free and lubrication-free, equipped with sealed bearings and direct-drive motors, which eliminate common mechanical wear points.
Yes. All models are rated IP55 for protection against dust and water ingress, with optional anti-corrosion coating for outdoor or coastal installations.
Belmont EC fans support 0–10V, 4–20mA, PWM, and RS485 Modbus-RTU, enabling smart system control, remote monitoring, and integration with BAS systems.
Typical retrofit projects achieve 25–40% reduction in fan energy consumption, along with lower noise and better thermal performance.
