Who We Are
EBM AirTech is a mid-sized fan and motor supplier headquartered in Chicago, IL, with production facilities in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. We supply axial fans, centrifugal fans, EC fan motors, blowers, and ventilation components to OEM manufacturers, HVAC system integrators, and industrial distributors in 52 countries.
Our catalog spans 8,000+ active SKUs ranging from 60mm compact axial fans for electronics cooling to 1,250mm condenser fans for industrial refrigeration. Every product line includes EC motor options for buyers transitioning from conventional AC drives to energy-efficient alternatives.
Our Advantages
Ultra-Low Noise EC Fans
Aerodynamically optimized impeller designs and brushless EC motors deliver airflow performance at noise levels 6–12 dB(A) below conventional AC alternatives, critical for data centers, hospitals, and residential adjacency zones.
EC Motor Energy Savings
EC technology reduces fan energy consumption by 30–50% compared to shaded-pole and PSC motors. Variable-speed control adapts airflow to real demand, eliminating fixed-speed energy waste.
OEM Integration Support
Dimensional drawings, CFD simulation data, and application engineering support for integrating fans into AHUs, condensers, heat pumps, and telecom shelters. Custom voltage and mounting configurations available.
Rapid Delivery & Inventory
8,000+ SKUs stocked across 3 production facilities with same-week dispatch for standard catalog items. Annual supply agreements available for OEM customers.
Global Certification Coverage
ASHRAE 90.1, Eurovent, CE, UL, and ATEX certified product lines ensure regulatory compliance across North American, European, and Asian markets without additional testing delays.
Key Milestones
Typical Project: Data Center Retrofit
In 2022, a colocation data center operator in Frankfurt, Germany contracted EBM AirTech to replace 320 AC-driven condenser fans across 4 rooftop cooling units with EC motor equivalents. The existing shaded-pole motors were consuming 186 kW aggregate at full load. After installing our 800mm EC axial fans (model series AxiCool-EC), metered power consumption dropped to 112 kW at equivalent airflow — a 39.8% reduction. The variable-speed capability allowed further savings during cooler months, with the operator reporting an annual electricity cost reduction of approximately €47,000. Payback on the retrofit investment was achieved in 14 months.
