Before you request a sample

Prepare the inputs that decide the fan

Target airflow and static pressure at that airflow, available space, voltage tolerance, control signal, connector, noise limit, quantity and the temperature or ingress conditions. If you have a current fan, send its label and the system context rather than relying on frame size alone.

MEGA Tech catalogue reference

Selection begins with the operating point.

Our current catalogue contains 107 fan series and 1,184 listed variants. Use the catalogue voltage, current, input-power, airflow and static-pressure fields as a first selection reference, then confirm the final fan in the customer air path with a sample.

Scope: MEGA Tech develops and manufactures the fan. Complete cabinets, coils and liquid loops remain the system integrator responsibility.
