Fan Trays: Cooling Solutions for Racks and Enclosures

ETRI fan trays are designed to provide efficient cooling for electrical cabinets, electronic racks, and other equipment requiring high-performance thermal management. Integrating multiple compact axial fans, they offer a reliable, space-saving solution that is easy to integrate into the most demanding industrial applications.

Their modular design allows the number of fans, tray dimensions, and ventilation performance to be tailored to the available space and the specific cooling requirements of each installation.

Optimized Design for Onboard Applications

ETRI fan trays are particularly well suited to applications where installation space is limited while high airflow and exceptional reliability are essential. They are widely used for cooling:

• Electrical and electronic racks
• Control and automation systems
• Electrical enclosures
• Onboard equipment
• Railway, aerospace, and industrial applications

In the railway industry, for example, ETRI fan trays help cool control systems and onboard electronic equipment. By efficiently dissipating the heat generated by electronic components, they contribute to system reliability and operational safety.

Simple and Flexible Integration

ETRI fan trays are designed in a standard rack-mount format, allowing easy integration into conventional equipment racks.

The ETRI fan tray part numbering system follows a simple structure:

• R: Rack-mounted fan tray
• 1U: Rack height (44.45 mm / 1.75 in)
• Exxx: Project reference
• 000: Product version number

This structure simplifies the identification of the various configurations developed for each application.

Simplified Maintenance

ETRI fan trays are designed for easy installation and maintenance.

Depending on the configuration, individual fans are readily accessible and can be replaced without special tools. This approach minimizes downtime, reduces maintenance costs, and maximizes equipment availability.

Fully Customizable Solutions

Because every project has unique requirements, ETRI develops custom fan trays tailored to each customer's technical, environmental, and regulatory specifications.

A wide range of customization options is available, including:

• AC, DC, or EC motor technologies
• Airflow control and management
• Status indicators and feedback signals
• Front- or rear-mounted connectors
• Surface treatments
• Handles and mounting systems
• Custom mechanical configurations
• Compliance with industry-specific standards

From Design to Production

ETRI's sales engineers and design office work closely with customers from the earliest stages of their projects to develop the ventilation solution best suited to their requirements.

Drawing on extensive expertise in thermal management, electronic equipment cooling, and industrial ventilation, ETRI designs reliable, high-performance, and long-lasting solutions for the railway, aerospace, data center, power electronics, and other demanding industrial sectors.
