Infinitum Unveils Powerful New EC Fans at AHR 2026

Infinitum Unveils Next-Generation EC Fan Systems at AHR 2026

Today at the AHR Expo, Infinitum introduced its new EC Fan Systems, a high-efficiency, integrated solution designed for HVAC, industrial, and mission-critical applications. Combining fan, motor, and variable frequency drive (VFD) technology into a single, optimized system, the new EC Fan Systems are engineered to help operators maximize performance while minimizing energy consumption.

High-Efficiency Cooling for Modern Applications

As data centers, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings face rising energy costs and growing power demands, optimizing cooling efficiency has become critical. Infinitum’s EC Fan Systems deliver up to 25% energy savings compared to conventional fan solutions, helping customers achieve more with less. The system’s integrated design improves the Fan Energy Index (FEI), increases power density, reduces operational noise, and ensures reliable performance—all while requiring fewer motors, less electrical infrastructure, and fewer kilowatts.

Ben Schuler, founder and CEO of Infinitum, emphasized the importance of energy-efficient solutions in modern facilities:

As power constraints redefine what’s possible in mission-critical environments, doing more with less is no longer optional — it’s essential. Our new EC Fan Systems are designed to fundamentally change how energy is used, enabling operators and OEMs to unlock more capacity and performance from the power they already have — while easing strain on infrastructure and the grid.

Addressing the Pressures of Mission-Critical Facilities

Modern mission-critical facilities, such as data centers and AI-driven computing hubs, are under unprecedented pressure to extract maximum performance from limited power budgets. With AI workloads driving peak electricity demands, cooling systems must operate efficiently without consuming excessive power.

Infinitum’s EC Fan Systems tackle this challenge head-on by lowering the cooling power budget while freeing up energy for revenue-generating workloads. This allows facility operators to maintain optimal performance for critical systems while controlling energy costs and mitigating infrastructure strain.

Key Features of Infinitum EC Fan Systems

1. Lowest Real-World Energy Consumption

One of the most common limitations of standard EC fans is a drop in efficiency at partial load operation points. Infinitum’s EC Fan Systems overcome this limitation with advanced motor-drive technology that maintains high efficiency across a wide operating range. This results in more airflow per kilowatt, with system efficiency reaching 91% and energy savings of up to 25% compared to conventional systems.

2. Ultra-Low Harmonics

Electrical noise and harmonics can negatively impact equipment, efficiency, and overall power quality. Traditional standalone harmonic filters are often costly and underperform. Infinitum addresses this challenge by integrating Active Front End (AFE) technology, ensuring that Total Demand Distortion (TDD) remains below 5% across the full load curve.

This grid-friendly design eliminates the need for external harmonic filters while protecting facility infrastructure and supporting stable, efficient operation.

3. Fewer Motors, More Flexibility

Traditional EC fan solutions rely on fixed operating point motors, often resulting in overprovisioned systems and wasted energy. Infinitum’s custom-rated motors, ranging from 1 to 15 HP, allow fan systems to be precisely sized for each application.

Higher-capacity motors enable operators to reduce the number of fans and motors by approximately 20%, which lowers amperage requirements, reduces the need for electrical infrastructure, and simplifies system layout. This modular approach provides flexibility for diverse applications, from HVAC systems in commercial buildings to high-performance cooling in industrial or mission-critical environments.

4. Simplified Design and Maintenance

Infinitum’s EC Fan Systems are designed with simplicity and reliability in mind. By integrating fan, motor, and drive components into a single system, along with built-in harmonic mitigation, maintenance becomes easier and faster.

The system is supported by dedicated system-level specialists, ensuring rapid issue resolution and a lower total cost of ownership over the system’s lifetime. Fewer components and streamlined maintenance procedures reduce downtime, improve reliability, and enhance overall operational efficiency.

Transforming Energy Use in Modern Facilities

Infinitum’s EC Fan Systems are not just a product—they represent a new approach to energy management in facilities where power is both limited and valuable. By reducing energy consumption, minimizing infrastructure requirements, and optimizing cooling performance, the systems enable operators to focus on what matters most: maximizing throughput and revenue-generating capabilities without compromising efficiency or reliability.

As data centers and industrial facilities increasingly contend with rising electricity costs, integrated solutions like Infinitum’s EC Fan Systems are essential for maintaining competitive operations while adhering to sustainability goals.
