As HVAC system efficiency requirements continue to rise, facility managers and OEMs are rethinking their equipment choices—starting with the fan system inside the air handling unit (AHU).
One of the biggest opportunities for energy savings and system optimization lies in replacing traditional belt-driven forward curved fans with modern EC plug fans.
At Belmont Fan, we specialize in EC plug centrifugal fans, helping HVAC manufacturers and integrators worldwide move toward a quieter, more compact, and far more energy-efficient future.
For decades, belt-driven forward curved centrifugal fans have been widely used in AHUs. While they served their purpose, they come with several drawbacks:
Low efficiency, especially at partial loads
Frequent belt maintenance and replacement
Alignment issues causing downtime and energy waste
Require large space for belt drives
Need external VFDs for speed control
As a result, these fans increase both operational costs and long-term maintenance demands.
| Feature | Belt-Driven Forward Curved Fan | EC Plug Fan (Belmont Fan) |
|---|---|---|
| Drive Type | Belt and pulley | Direct EC motor |
| Energy Efficiency | Low to medium | High (up to 50% savings) |
| Speed Control | External VFD | Integrated (0–10V / PWM) |
| Maintenance | Requires belt checks | Maintenance-free |
| Noise | Higher mechanical noise | Quiet operation |
| Size | Bulky with belt section | Compact fan wall design |
| Control Integration | Basic | Smart control via MODBUS / PWM |
