Additional notes

This Axial Fan Assembly is a thermal management device which can be used in cabinets of different assemblies. All electronic devices such as computers and other circuitry generate heat during operation, and require good thermal management to prevent premature failures. The use of stell sheet offers the fan propeller very good impact resistance, toughness, heat resistance and also have good flamability ratings. The fan housing is made by aluminum die casting which provides very good strength and hardness, outstanding corrosion resistance and excellent EMI and RFI shielding properties. Thermally protected capacitor phase Induction motor is used for providing reliable operation. This fan can be operated at both 50 HZ and 60 HZ frequency supply. The fan requires 115 V AC power supply to provides good airflow rate up to 230 Cfm for faster air circulation and produces low noise even at 3350 RPMs. This Fan assembly can be used for thermal management purposes in GE's Discovery ST, Discovery ST (4 Slice), Discovery ST (8 Slice), Discovery ST (16 Slice), Discovery ST (64 Slice), Discovery ST (128 Slice), Discovery STE, Discovery STE (8 Slice) and Discovery STE (16 Slice) PET/CT Systems. The fan will be shipped in suitable packaging to provide adequate protection during transit.
