Rail & Road Vehicles

Rail & Road vehicles fans solutions are characterized by:

High efficiency Taylor made design for OEM integration

Low noise level Easy maintenance

What makes a Fläkt Woods Group solution different ?

• An incomparable experience in technology of axial and mixed-flow fans, bringing the most with the lowest sound levels.
• A plug & play approach during design to easily overcome integration issues.
• Capabilities to integrate customers components in our testing facilities to qualify a global system.
• 2000 fans per year placed in operation worldwide during the last 40 years on board of the most advanced vehicles.

The most advanced engineering tools to meet with the highest requirements :

• 3D CAD for collaborative engineering and models sharing to smoothen the layout integration process
• Finite Element Analysis for fatigue, vibrations, response to shocks, with or without customer supporting frame structure.
• Computational Fluid Dynamics to predict aerodynamic performances, optimize flow in the vehicle, evaluate system effects impacts.
• Rotor dynamics for flexion, torsion analysis and vibrations response.

A multi-purpose laboratory to qualify the product

• Aerodynamics as per ISO 5801
• Acoustics as per ISO 13347-3
• Vibration spectrum analysis
• Over-speed and fatigue tests for wheel
• Motor temperature rise tests using frequency drives with high harmonic content power wave to reproduce the toughest conditions.
