Mobile Applications and Vehicles
Mobility requires maximum reliability. This applies for trucks, buses and other road vehicles , as well as for the production of rolling stock and train sets for rail transport. We also make and supply particularly efficient fans and precisely matched control technology for the ventilation requirements on board ships – from cargo ships to cruise liners. To protect perishable or temperature-sensitive goods in transit, our ventilation technology ensures optimum climatic conditions in actively operated refrigerated containers. Our products are also used in numerous other container applications, for example to ventilate emergency generators in enclosures, energy storage systems or data centre containers.
In the field of railway technology, ZIEHL-ABEGG is the undisputed leader in this field. The innovative fans and solutions ensure optimum air conditioning of driver’s cabs and passenger compartments at all times of the year. Our biomimetic fans reliably ensure the cooling of important system components, including electronics, compressors, motors and brakes, and provide ventilation and extraction for machine rooms as required.
Individual solutions for specific challenges
When a specific temperature is required for transporting goods by truck, our highly efficient, durable and corrosion-resistant fan systems enable the design and operation of energy-efficient, reliable and robust refrigerating systems. Since these are particularly required in mobile use, for example when loading and unloading or in adverse weather conditions, reliable technology is absolutely indispensable.
The challenges facing ventilation systems on cargo, container and passenger ships are similarly demanding. The technology used here is also usually in continuous operation – and under difficult conditions such as constant vibrations, high humidity and salty air. Therefore, all components must work as reliably as possible and be fail-safe in order to be able to plan maintenance in advance and avoid repairs or even failures out at sea.
Container construction is characterised by a high degree of flexibility: Containers are used to house technical equipment, to cool or transport goods or as a particularly flexible space solution – both for people and for stored goods of all different kinds. What all applications have in common is that ventilation and air-conditioning technology is often needed here as well, in order to ensure certain climatic conditions in the container building, regardless of the ambient conditions.
Manufacturers and operators of road vehicles and buses also need solutions in the field of ventilation and air conditioning technology, but they also have to rely on alternatives to conventional combustion engines to an ever greater extent. After all, exhaust fumes from diesel and petrol pollute the environment just as much as the operating noise of combustion engines. Therefore, these will increasingly be replaced by low-noise models with electric or hybrid drives, especially in cities and urban areas. In addition, the EU’s increasingly stringent legal regulations aim to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, particulate matter and other pollutants.
ZIEHL-ABEGG is the world’s leading supplier of fans, drive technology and control technology that is optimally coordinated for rail applications. We develop all components in close consultation with our customers at home and abroad and naturally hold all required certificates and approvals. Our fans ensure maximum efficiency, are particularly light and compact, and operate quietly, even under full load. They are designed to withstand vibrations or shocks particularly well, and they are even resistant to most humidity and strongly fluctuating temperatures.
Our biomimetic axial and centrifugal fans really come into their own when it comes to ventilating inside areas on ships: a consistent biomimetic design and drive and control technology perfectly matched to the corresponding fan ensure optimum performance and consumption values. Thanks to compact sizes and the use of standard dimensions, our fans simplify installation and are therefore also recommended for cramped, angled or complicated installation situations. They provide optimum performance, even with small sizes and in the partial load range and ensure a sufficient volume flow.
ZIEHL-ABEGG is the only manufacturer that, in addition to more than a century of experience in the field of ventilation and control technology, can offer its customers a worldwide sales and service network. This means that we are available on site for each and every customer project and can support our customers with advice and sophisticated technology. For cooling and air-conditioning systems in transport or refrigerated containers, for example, we offer optimally matched fans, motors and control technology that work reliably and trouble-free even under adverse operating conditions (salt water, dust, fluctuating temperatures, etc.). Depending on the specific application, there is a choice of robust AC motors or particularly efficient EC motors with intelligent control technology, which, in combination with biomimetic axial or centrifugal fans, are perfect for any application in the container sector.
In addition to outstanding and optimally matched components, ZIEHL-ABEGG also stands for top-class service with its Royal League: Rely on our experience, technical expertise and modern production and test facilities for precisely fitting, reliable and perfectly coordinated solutions to meet your requirements in the field of mobile applications and vehicles. We can advise you and help you take your seat in the Royal League before setting course for the future with ZIEHL-ABEGG.
