60x180mm Cross Flow Fan 23W Tangential Blower for Fireplaces and Electronics Cooling

The values below are the specification we build the CF-6016-180 to. Airflow is measured at free discharge and rated voltage; with a grille, filter or heat exchanger in the airflow path, expect a reduction of 15-25 percent.

Ordering

MOQ is 1000 pieces for the standard 60x180 build, which makes this the easiest length for pilot production. Custom winding and lead avaiable.

Typical duties for the CF-6016-180. Electric fireplace, electronics cooling, cabinet cooling.

• Electric fireplaces - The 180 mm barrel produces a wide, even air curtain behind the flame effect; 100-150 m³/h is enough to drive heat forward without disturbing the flame pattern.

• Electronics and power-supply cooling - Uniform discharge across a heat-sink array avoids the hot spot an axial fan leaves directly in front of its hub.

• Cabinet and rack cooling - The 2,100 RPM speed keeps blade-pass noise below the level that becomes audible in an office environment.

• Warm-air and convector units - The barrel can be mounted horizontally under a heat exchanger, drawing through the fins and discharging across the outlet grille.

Matching the fan to the duty

Match the impeller length to the discharge slot, not to the appliance width. A barrel shorter than the slot leaves dead zones at each end; a barrel longer than the slot wastes airflow and raises noise. For 900 mm fireplaces, two 180 mm barrels or one 300 mm barrel are the usual choices.

Installation

Keep the discharge lip at least 15 mm from the flame-effect screen. Mount the motor end away from the heat source where possible, and specify a thermal cut-out if the fan sits above a 2 kW heater element.

The CF-6016-180 is built in our own plant, so the specification can be adjusted to your appliance rather than the other way round. Options below are quoted against the base build.

What can be customized

• Barrel lengths of 120, 180, 240 and 300 mm on the same 60 mm diameter platform.

• Winding material: copper, aluminium or CCA, quoted separately.

• Custom lead length, connector and terminal orientation.

• 110 V / 60 Hz and 220-240 V / 50 Hz builds.

• Private-label marking on housing and packaging.

MOQ and tooling

MOQ is 1000 pieces for the standard 60x180 build, which makes this the easiest length for pilot production. We support free sample for testing.

Manufacturer

Manufactured by Guangzhou Yuexun Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. (YKFANMOTOR) in Guangdong, China, part of a family motor business with more than 28 years of manufacturing experience. CE and RoHS documentation is supplied where the model carries those marks; IEC test reports can be arranged for custom builds.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What appliances use a 60x180 cross flow fan?
A: The 60x180 size is the standard barrel for electric fireplaces, electronics enclosures, rack cabinets and small warm-air convectors. Anything that needs a wide, even air curtain across a slot of roughly 150-180 mm is a good match.

Q: How much air does this fan move?
A: 100-150 m³/h (about 59-88 CFM) at 2,100 RPM with 23 W input. The figure is measured at free discharge; expect 15-25 percent less once the fan works against a grille or heat exchanger.

Q: Is a tangential fan quieter than an axial fan?
A: Usually yes at the same airflow, because the cross flow impeller has many small blades and a low tip speed. The trade-off is lower static pressure - a cross flow fan is the wrong choice for long duct runs.

Q: Can you supply a 12 V or 24 V version?
A: The standard build is AC shaded pole at 220 V or 110 V. DC versions exist as a separate development using a brushless motor and a different housing; they are quoted as a project rather than a catalogue item.

Q: What is the minimum order?
A: 1000 pieces for the standard specification. Below that, sample quantities can be supplied for evaluation.
