Containers
The Royal League for heating, cooling and air conditioning technology
Whether as a modular container building, as an enclosure or for cooling and transporting temperature-sensitive goods over long distances by ship or rail: containers can be implemented and used with a huge degree of flexibility. If a certain climate and temperature level must be reliably guaranteed inside, for example when containers are used as living or working environments, technical solutions are required that are easy to maintain, highly available and work safely. So, it’s with good reason that many suppliers of container solutions opt for the Royal League of ventilation and control technology, which means fans and controls from ZIEHL-ABEGG.
Containers were originally developed to transport large quantities of goods over long spatial and temporal distances and to simplify cargo handling. Now, though, containers are no longer only used for transport, but also as enclosures for critical infrastructure such as power generators or energy storage systems (ESS), for refrigeration and as temporary or permanent living and working spaces.
To protect containers from environmental influences and manipulation, and to prevent accidents, generators are installed in the containers, which not only simplifies transport and storage, but is also necessary for trouble-free operation. During use, emergency generators continuously generate heat, so must therefore be actively cooled with a central cooling system or heat exchangers. Here too, centrifugal and axial fans from ZIEHL-ABEGG, in combination with smart control technology, ensure that the temperature in the container always remains at the required level.
Unlike large power plants or transformer stations, these energy storage systems have to be set up decentrally, which is why containers are used here as well. They protect the systems from weather influences and provide a space where the system can work safely in defined conditions. With perfectly coordinated control technology, centrifugal and axial fans from ZIEHL-ABEGG ensure the required ventilation, the right climate, and any necessary cooling, so that the ESS can also be operated without issues in areas with high temperatures.
Due to the increased use of Cloud technologies and increasing digitalisation of the working world, more and more data centres are being built around the world, offering more and more computing capacity. Flexible and immediate solutions are required for cooling servers, which can be used via plug & play and dismantled just as quickly – depending on the purpose of the data centre containers. Using optimal ventilation through the biomimetic centrifugal or axial fans from ZIEHL-ABEGG alongside perfectly coordinated control technology, the sensitive microelectronics can be operated without faults or interruptions, even during performance peaks.
Whether as a interim solution or as a permanent installation: buildings made from containers are an increasingly common alternative to solid buildings, and not just in big cities. Hotels, schools and nurseries, and even hospitals, can be assembled from container modules of any size, and this can be done particularly quickly and cost-effectively. To ensure that the users or residents feel comfortable and can live and work well in them, the rooms must also be equipped with heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology. Here, the Royal League of ventilation and control technology impresses once again with biomimetic centrifugal and axial fans, which are not only particularly efficient, but also the quietest on the market. Depending on the application, these can be operated with robust AC motors or modern EC technology and smart control technology.
For over 110 years, “Made by ZIEHL-ABEGG” has stood for outstanding quality. We develop and produce our fans, motors and the control technology ourselves, so we can provide the perfect solutions for every application.
Cooling and air conditioning systems in transport containers have to withstand the unavoidable vibrations or shocks during transport and handling, as well as the aggressive climate at sea (salt water) or in harsh industrial environments (dust, temperature). Containers acting as enclosures for electronic systems, residential and working containers are exposed to environmental influences such as rain, snow, changing temperatures and intense UV radiation around the clock. So, they need to be equipped for this both inside and out. With low-maintenance, reliable products from ZIEHL-ABEGG, container manufactures and users can always rely on the necessary climatic and ventilation technology requirements being met at all times.
As the only manufacturer of its kind worldwide, ZIEHL-ABEGG not only offers the expertise and experience gained from more than a century of company history, but also a global sales and service network. Our promise is always to develop custom-fit solutions for every application. For every customer project we bring our extensive expertise and know-how to develop customer-specific solutions that are perfectly suited for their individual purpose. This also involves technical innovations, such as particularly compact designs for external rotor motors, which require significantly less space and still deliver the required performance.
We advise our customers personally and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about ventilation and air conditioning technology, either over the phone or at your premises. You can also quickly and easily determine which centrifugal or axial fans from ZIEHL-ABEGG are best suited for your individual purposes using our flexible and innovative selection software FANselect. With FANselect, which can be used both on site and online, you have the most accurate measurement data in ventilation technology available to you – determined by us in our state-of-the-art technology centre InVent in Künzelsau. Using algorithms we have developed ourselves for this selection software, you are just a few clicks away from finding the right fans for you.
We also test our products in outdoor endurance tests once they are ready for series production, i.e. in real conditions, for at least two years. Service life tests are also carried out under normal and extreme conditions, for example in severe cold at 2.970 m altitude or in a hot environment in a heat test facility in Turkey.
We also offer an extensive range of accessories for our axial fans: In addition to the ZAplus+ diffusor, which allows even more volume flow in the lower pressure range, we also offer important safety elements ,including contact protection made of powder-coated steel or stainless steel (in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13857:2008) for the suction or pressure side. To prevent the head gap from icing over, we offer a UL-certified heating tape (protection class IP54), which is also available with an optional insulating jacket. We also provide the necessary plugs and cables for quick and easy commissioning as accessories.
* These ZIEHL-ABEGG products, which are suggested as possible solutions for these applications, are purely informative and serve as a rough guide. Consequently, individual contact with our technical sales experts is necessary and advisable with regard to a specific application so that the individual use can be checked and approved with regard to the explicit conditions.
