Axair Keeps Countries In Motion

The company has also recently developed a special fan for a very special railway application. Trains operating in extreme climates like Siberia have issues starting in the morning; particularly when the thermometer is around -40°C.

At these temperatures, most of the locomotive is completely frozen and will not start. The Etri 856DW is designed to blow air against a heater which will slowly pre-heat the locomotive.

The fan is fitted with Ø350 backward impeller, powered by 1.3kW motor 72VDC. The winding is protected to Class H for insulation. The maximum airflow is 1800m³/h and maximum pressure at nearly 2000Pa. For more information about Etri products and technical advice, contact Axair today.
