MagFan - aerodynam

mics make the difference

 MagFan - world leader in fan efficiency

One unique concept

At first glance there is no visible difference between the three versions of MagFan.
MagFan, MagFan Plus and MagFan ONe all make use of the same housing and impeller. The only differences lies in
the motor technology used and the possibility of using different impeller pitch settings.
One unique concept - three different fans.

Without exception, MagFan outperforms all other fans

MagFan is the world leader in fan efficiency. No matter the version you choose they all offer unrivaled performan-
ce, efficiency and service life.
MagFan owes its efficiency to much more than just the high efficiency motors. More than anything else, the very
pronounced efficiency advantage stems from the aeromechanics applied in the development of MagFan.
This becomes quite evident when comparing capacities and efficiencies against other makes of similar size fans.
Without exception, MagFan outperforms all other fans!

Aerodynamics make the difference

First and foremost, remember that a fan with superior aerodynamics will always be the most efficient fan no mat-
ter the speed it operates at. So all the way from minimum speed to full speed, the aerodynamics play the most
important role in fan performance and efficiency as well as pressure capability (thrust).
More air can be moved with fewer losses. The fan simply consumes less power to maintain the desired flow.
 Careful design leads to aerodynamic benefits

Optimized to perfection
With strict focus on aerodynamics in the design phase, MagFan has been optimized to perfection.
The air entering the fan meets no restrictions and the discharge cone leads the air gently from the fan.
The motor and impeller hub designs bring minimum restrictions to airflow.
The impeller blades are carefully designed and tested to perfection.

These little but important details ensure high airflow rates and unsurpassed energy efficiency.

 Choosing the right MagFan
Total power consumption
Choosing the right MagFan for a given application involves determining how often fans will run at reduced speed.
In climates where outside temperatures are near setpoint temperatures, the variable speed feature will have less
effect on the total power consumption. Simply because the fan most often will be running full speed in order to
keep in-house set point temperatures.
Under such conditions, high efficiency at full capacity is of the utmost importance.

Full speed range

Where outside temperatures fluctuate diurnally and/or seasonally, the fan speed will vary more and the savings
obtained with variable speed drives will be more pronounced.
Likewise, if the production has variable heat production and variable temperature setpoints from start to finish
(like in a building with broilers), the variable speed fans will make use of their full speed range and spend more
hours in “the sweet spot” of high efficiency. To put it simply, a building for broilers in a continental temperate cli-
mate has more potential for energy savings using variable speed fans than does a layer house in a coastal tropical
climate.

High airspeeds
On the island of Borneo, for instance, a building with layers in commercial cages will require high airspeeds and
typically run at an average ventilation level of 80% or more of total capacity, depending, obviously, on the total
fan capacity installed. The effect of variable speed fans will be relatively modest.

Diurnal and seasonal variations

At the opposite end of the scale, a building for broilers in inland NSW, Australia, will be going from very low air ex-
change rates in the early stages of production, to maximum airflow towards the end of the batch. Moreover, there
will be diurnal as well as seasonal variations, and the variable speed feature really comes into play.
Diurnal and/or seasonal fluctuations
This type of system is designed for the warmer parts of the temperate climate zones and the cooler subtropical
climates where seasonal and diurnal fluctuations are distinct.
These buildings are equipped with minimum and medium ventilation systems in order to ensure optimum climate
during diurnal and seasonal fluctuations. Here the variable speed MagFans will make use of their full speed range
and spend more hours in “the sweet spot” of high efficiency.
The choice of fan depends on whether the animals are Floor Kept which would be MagFan, or Cage Kept which
would typically require MagFan Plus.

Warmer subtropical zones and into the cooler tropical climates

This system is ideal for the warmer subtropical zones and into the cooler tropical climates where diurnal and sea-
sonal fluctuations are moderate.
These buildings are equipped with minimum ventilation systems to ensure optimum climate during diurnal fluctua-
tions. Tunnel doors and cooling systems work in conjunction with the MagFans to provide cooling.
Here the variable speed MagFans will make use of their full speed range and spend more hours in “the sweet spot”
of high efficiency. MagFan Plus or MagFan ONe should be considered. The choice between the two should depend
on the diurnal and/or seasonal fluctuations.

Warm and humid tropical climates

This system is strictly developed for the warm and humid tropical climates.
These buildings are equipped with low capacity minimum ventilation systems to ensure optimum climate during
minor diurnal fluctuations. Tunnel doors and cooling systems work in conjunction with the MagFans to provide
cooling. The climate conditions call for high airspeed and MagFan Plus or MagFan ONe should be considered. These
buildings typically run at an average ventilation level of 80% or more of total capacity, depending, obviously, on
the total fan capacity installed.
 Applications
Improved climate conditions
Magfan is ideal in all areas where air movement is required. The high efficiency, the capacity and the possibility of
speed controlling makes the MagFan a versatile ventilation unit, adaptable to a large variety of applications.

Widely used
We see tremendous savings and improved climate conditions wherever MagFans are installed.
MagFan is already widely used in all types of livestock buildings, in the greenhouse sector and also in the
traditional industry.
Wherever air needs to be moved MagFan is the answer.
 Sustainability
MagFan – fostering energy efficiency in livestock buildings
The global demand for energy continues to rise and ventilation of livestock buildings represents a notable percen-
tage of global energy consumption.
Thus, improving the efficiency of ventilation systems plays an important role in fostering energy efficiency in live-
stock buildings. MagFan greatly reduces energy consumption and at the same time improves indoor air quality via
proven climate control strategies.

A lasting ventilation solution

In fact MagFan is so efficient that the energy consumption in four (4) buildings equipped with MagFans is the same
as in one (1) building with traditional fans - the same ventilation capacity installed in all five buildings.
In other words MagFan cuts your energy consumption by 75% compared to buildings where traditional fans are
installed. MagFan simply is your best choice for an energy efficient and lasting ventilation solution.

MagFan - making use of the sun
MagFan is steps ahead in relation to renewable energy sources.
MagFan connects directly to solar panels and the overall installation cost for the required solar panels to run the
fans is only 50% compared to solar panel systems for conventional ventilation systems. Solar Panels are ideal for
livestock production because solar panels produce electricity during daytime – just when the need for ventilation in
a building for livestock is at its highest.

Responsibility by design
MagFan was constructed with efficiency in mind but we also focused on a design that would significantly reduce
transportation cost. Last but not least we wanted a product with an estimated service life of 20 years.

We have already proven that MagFan reduces energy consumption by as much as 75%.
The innovative design reduces shipping volume by 75% – we can ship 150 MagFans in a 40´HQ container.
The result is CO2 emission reductions in manufacturing and transportation, as well as a remarkable emission
reduction throughout MagFan’s long service life.

That is responsibility by design.

 ”We save 75% energy.”

PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, one of Southeast Asia’s leading and most progressive
integrators, decided to invest in MagFan for their new PS breeder farm in Central
Java, Indonesia.

The testing
- We recorded the consumption over a 24 week period, from bird placement to production. The reference building,
commissioned September 2016, uses 3 units of 50” and 4 units of 54” American cone fans. In an identical test
building, DACS Indonesia distributor PT Ansell Jaya installed 7 MagFans. Both buildings were fitted with electro-
nic meters, measuring fan energy consumption only, says R. Syaprudin, National Manager for Farm Technology &
Environment Control Department in PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia.

The results
– The results were stunning. The house equipped with MagFan consumes only 25% of the power consumed by
the control house. These houses are identical in every aspect, only difference being the fans installed. In fact, we
have higher fan capacity in the house equipped with MagFans and still we come out with such a huge difference in
power consumption. We have double checked all data and there is no doubt the MagFans outperform the American
cone fans by far R. Syaprudin points out.

The future
– The future will bring warmer climates and increases in energy costs, no doubt. Fans will be running longer and
harder and power consumption will increase. Admitted, we were skeptical in the beginning, but DACS has proven
to us that these fans are really an excellent investment. Not only are they extremely gentle on the power con-
sumption, they are also 100% maintenance free. This definitely is the fan for 21st Century, says R. Syaprudin of
PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia.

 “MagFans are whisper quiet.”

Laurie Brosnan, one of the owners of Bettapork in Queensland, Australia, a 2000

sow full line production with three individual sites for sows, weaners and finishers
has installed MagFans in eight sheds.

Quite convincing
– When I first saw the MagFan at the Eurotier show in 2014 I was just about to renew my finisher site. We found
that the quality and the operational cost of the MagFan was quite convincing so we made a decision to try them
out in eight houses. Each house holds 600 finishers, so to get the air speed needed we installed 5 MagFans per
house says Laurie.

Whisper quiet
– We are very happy with the performance to date. The Magfans have less moving parts than others which means
less maintenance for us. They are whisper quiet and consume far less power than any other similar size fans on
our farm. My staff say the air is cleaner, fresher in these sheds. This because there is a more uniform, constant
and stable air speed throughout the house. The MagFans were commissioned in September 2015 and have been
running flawlessly ever since and no matter the season, or the age of the animals, the air quality is good and the
air speed is exactly where it should be. Great fans and an excellent investment states Laurie Brosnan!
 A significant game changer
When presented back in 2014 MagFan was a game changer in the industry - and it still is.
MagFan is still top of the line in terms of efficiency, capacity and air flow ratio (AFR). No other fan has been such a
significant game changer in the market for large fans and with its performance data MagFan will always be a win-
ner when compared to other brands.

The direct drive technology, the highly aerodynamic body and motor/impeller construction adds to its qualities and
with an estimated service life of 20 years the unit is the only right choice where energy efficiency and sustainable
production is in focus.

MagFan uses a state-of-the-art variable frequency drive, allowing for simple single phase installation and a wide
range of input voltages, ranging from 85 to 265VAC 50/60Hz, with an optional three phase drive ranging from 360
to 440VAC 50/60Hz.

 Attractive wherever high pressure is needed
MagFan Plus is a more powerful version of MagFan.
The only difference between the two is the motor output. The efficiency of this unit is exactly as good as for Mag-
Fan, but due to the 2.2 kW motor the unit can work up to 750 rpm. Therefore it has a higher capacity and continu-
es to produce air flow when static pressures exceed 90 Pascal (0.36 WC).

In large scale operations where static pressures often exceed 60 Pascal (0.24 WC) most other fans cannot produce
air but MagFan Plus still produces an impressive 62.421 m3/h @ 60 Pa (36740 cfm @ 0.24” WC).
The performance of MagFan Plus allows farmers to build up to 50% larger constructions and thereby increase
overall efficiency and profitability. Especially large cage facilities benefit from the powerful MagFan Plus.

MagFan Plus uses a state-of-the-art variable frequency drive, allowing for simple single phase installation and a
wide range of input voltages, ranging from 85 to 265VAC 50/60Hz, with an optional three phase drive ranging
from 360 to 440VAC 50/60Hz.

 Setting new standards
MagFan ONe is our ”conventional” ON/OFF wall fan.
MagFan ONe sets new standards in terms of efficiency, capacity and pressure performance.
This has simply revolutionized the market for ON/OFF controlled wall fans.

MagFan ONe is in every aspect identical to the existing MagFan, except it is an ON/OFF fan. It is still a direct drive
fan, so no belts and pulleys – hence no maintenance.

Best in test at Bess Lab

With 22.4 cfm/Watt MagFan ONe has one of the highest Energy Efficiency Ratings of all fans tested at Bess Lab
(project number 18465).
With an Air Flow Ratio of 0.85 and 62700 m3 @ 25 Pa (36900 cfm @ 0.1” WC) MagFan ONe outperforms all other
top 1% fans tested at Bess Lab by a wide margin.
