Overview

The nVent A3AXFN is a compact 3-inch axial fan (SKU: A3AXFN) designed for efficient and reliable cooling in space-constrained industrial applications. Engineered by nVent, this fan provides essential air circulation to maintain optimal operating temperatures for sensitive electronic components within control panels, electrical enclosures, and telecommunications equipment. Its robust black steel housing ensures durability and a professional appearance. The 115VAC fan delivers a free airflow of 27 CFM at 50/60 Hz, operating at a noise level of 40 dBA (SIL). With nominal dimensions of 3 inches and a depth of 1.50 inches, it integrates easily into tight layouts. Key features include its compact design, reliable 27 CFM performance, durable steel construction, quiet operation, and lead wire connection for straightforward electrical integration. The A3AXFN is engineered for 50,000 hours of continuous operation without lubrication or service, utilizing a split-capacitor motor and dynamically balanced impeller for smooth performance and extended lifespan. It is suitable for cooling automation equipment, HVAC control systems, and any scenario requiring consistent airflow to dissipate heat.
