Advanced Cooling Solutions Deliver Superior
Performance with Greater Efficiency
The PWM Advantage
PWM regulates the voltage signal between fully on
and fully off, controlling the speed of a fan. The main
advantage is that power loss in the switching device
is very low. When a switch is off, there is practically no
current, and when it is on, there is almost no voltage drop
across the switch. Therefore, power loss is close to zero.
PWM Saves Energy and Extends the Life of
Delta Fans
Delta’s thermal technology continues to provide
better performance, high reliability, and cost-effective
thermal cooling solutions. PWM is one of the primary
reasons Delta fans have a clear advantage over other
manufacturers.
Delta carries a full line of PWM speed control fans
with dimension ranging from 36x36x28mm up to
280x280x162mm.
