I have a question for fan experts.

 

I have two Evercool EC12025 (EC12025H12BP) fans. They are 12V, 120x25mm, 2300 RPM and dual ball bearing. These are old and I did reach out to Evercool last week for comment, but they haven't replied.

 

The reason I emailed them, and what I'm asking here, is that they are not identical. I know that sometimes changes are made to products, so maybe these changes are just part of the product's evolution.

 

One didn't have the RPM marked, so I tested them and both were a bit over 2300 RPM after warming up. The blades are slightly different and the frames are, too. It doesn't matter from which side you look at them - the differences are visible. Since they bear the same model number (EC 12025) and the same number on the hub (F-EC12025H12BP), and even the same bar code (4-711158195741). I hope that Evercool will clarify for me why there are two different models? I'm going to release a video about them, and I'd love to have input from Evercool.
 

Fan 1: One has max velocity of 3.84 m/s and, with the area set to .999 m2, max airflow of 3.58 CMS. This one has flattened struts from the hub going to the outside edge of the frame, the leading tip of the fan blade is sharp, and the blades are thin on both sides with the trailing edge being less than .5mm. The 4 thin sides of the frame are asymmetrical. The indicators of rotation and flow are on the side of the frame where the wires exit.
 

Fan 2: The other has a velocity of 3.62 m/s and flow of 3.99 CMS. The rounded struts go from the hub to the inside of the frame's ring, where there is a bit extra reinforcement of the connection, the leading tip is slightly blunted and the trailing edge is 1mm thick. The 4 sides are symmetrical. The indicators of rotation and flow are on the OPPOSITE side of the frame from where the wires exit.

If it'll be helpful, I can post larger images. Any thoughts on the variances would be interesting. Thanks!


Namaste, Peace & Love,
