  1. Why Your Fan Doesn’t Perform Like the Datasheet Says

    Why Your Fan Doesn’t Perform Like the Datasheet Says

    Laboratory data looks precise, but real-world conditions tell a different story. In this episode of AIRSTREAM Insights, we explore how environmental factors like altitude, air density and temperature significantly influence fan performance. Why does thinner air reduce airflow mass? How does internally generated heat affect sensitive environments such as cleanrooms or laboratories? And why can’t engineers rely on standard performance curves alone? We break down the physics behind atmospheric corrections and explain why mathematical adjustments are essential for accurate, energy-efficient system design. A must-listen for anyone who wants ventilation systems to perform not just on paper, but in reality. Produced and owned by ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, Germany.

    When Air Becomes a Risk – Ventilation in Explosive Atmospheres

    What happens when a simple airflow can trigger a disaster? In this episode of AIRSTREAM Insights, we take a closer look at explosion-proof ventilation and the vital role Ex-fans play in protecting people, processes, and infrastructure. From flammable gases to combustible dust, industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing operate in environments where ventilation must do more than move air, it must prevent ignition. We explain how Ex-fans are engineered to eliminate risks such as heat build-up and static discharge, and why conductive materials, precise design, and certified components are essential. You’ll also learn why international standards like ATEX and IECEx are non-negotiable, and what really matters when selecting certified ventilation equipment for explosive atmospheres. A must-listen for anyone responsible for safety, compliance, and reliable operation in high-risk environments. Produced and owned by ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, Germany.

    Cooling the Digital World - Smart Ventilation for Data Centers

    Data centers are the backbone of our digital world, but rising computing power means rising heat. In this episode of AIRSTREAM Insights, we explore how advanced ventilation and EC fan technology help keep modern data centers stable, energy-efficient, and future-ready. Discover how aerodynamically optimized impellers, smart connectivity, and predictive maintenance enable precise temperature control, lower carbon footprints, and support sustainability targets like Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). From high-density racks to autonomous, self-regulating cooling systems, this episode shows why intelligent air management is critical for scalable, reliable digital services.

    Upgrade Without Starting Over: The Power of Smart HVAC&R Retrofits

    In this episode of AIRSTREAM Insights, we dive into one of the most effective and often overlooked strategies for improving building performance: HVAC&R retrofitting. Instead of replacing entire systems, retrofits upgrade key components with modern, energy-efficient technology that can extend equipment lifespan, cut operating costs, and significantly improve a building’s sustainability profile. We explore where retrofits make the biggest impact from air handling units to cooling towers and chillers and why many projects pay for themselves through rapid energy savings. A practical, forward-thinking guide for anyone planning smarter, greener upgrades in existing buildings. Produced and owned by ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, Germany.

    Choosing the Right HVAC System

    Rooftop vs. Air Handling Units What makes one better than the other? RTUs offer plug-and-play simplicity, cost efficiency, and fast installation, while AHUs deliver modular flexibility and advanced air quality control. We’ll also explore how different EU regulations define their scope - from integrated refrigeration systems under EU 2016/2281 to ventilation units covered by EU 1253/2014 and how ZIEHL-ABEGG’s centrifugal fans provide high efficiency and reliability for both solutions. Whether for new construction or retrofit projects, this episode helps you understand which system fits best: speed or sophistication, compactness or control.

    ErP 2026 in Practice – From Regulation to Real Engineering

    This episode is the continuation of our ErP 2026 two-part series. If you haven’t listened to Episode 1 (released on November 12), we recommend starting there, it provides the essential background on the new regulation. In Episode 2, we move from framework to application: What does the new definition of a “fan” mean for engineering? How does system-based efficiency affect manufacturers and integrators? And what responsibilities come with designing or assembling complete fan systems? We explain key changes in part-load requirements, documentation, CE conformity, and testing and show how ZIEHL-ABEGG supports partners with validated data, integration guidelines, and ready-to-use fan solutions. A compact, practical guide for everyone preparing for ErP 2026 and looking to stay compliant, efficient, and future-ready. Produced and owned by ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, Germany.

    Understanding ErP - The Framework for Energy Efficiency

    Energy efficiency is no longer optional - it’s regulation. In this episode of AIRSTREAM Insights, we take a closer look at the ErP Directive, the European framework defining how energy-related products are designed, tested, and documented. Discover how the upcoming Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/1834 sets new standards for fans between 125 W and 500 kW, introducing clear efficiency grades, product transparency, and sustainability requirements. Learn why performance now means more than aerodynamic design, it’s about the complete system: impeller, motor, control, and lifecycle. Coming up in two weeks: ErP Episode 2 - From Regulation to Realization, where we dive into digital control, modular construction, and how ErP drives practical innovation.
