A compatible BMS can set fan speed to a building schedule; a sensor controller can vary it as ventilation demand changes. Both use the external 0–10 V input. CENTRO EC 315 has no built-in room sensor, so automatic operation depends on those separate controls.
Talk to us about your projectA separate EC speed controller sets the fan speed through its 0–10 V input. For automatic adjustment, a compatible sensor controller or building management system (BMS) can supply that signal instead. For example, an external CO₂ or humidity controller can vary speed as conditions change. The standard fan has no built-in room sensor or user speed control.
The EC motor has thermal protection with automatic restart. Isolate the electrical supply before opening or cleaning the fan. Inspect and clean it at least every six months, following the user guide.

For help choosing the fan or a compatible controller, send Blauberg UK the duct size, required airflow and system pressure. CENTRO EC is for general clean-air ventilation; specialist process extract, commercial kitchen grease extract and smoke control require a different fan selection.
The EC fan motor is highly efficient, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy with minimal losses. It offers higher airflow and reduced noise levels, especially at lower speeds, ensuring energy-efficient operation.
The efficiency of the EC fan motor is quantified using a metric called Specific Fan Power (SFP). SFP measures the power consumption of the fan relative to the airflow it produces, expressed in watts per litre per second (W/L/s). For example, the Blauberg CENTRO-EC-315 has an SFP of 0.39 W/L/s, which means it consumes 0.39 watts of power for every litre per second of airflow it provides. This low SFP value highlights the fan's high efficiency, ensuring minimal impact on your energy bills while providing superior ventilation.
The CENTRO-EC-315 features a high-quality EC fan motor that delivers outstanding efficiency, with a maximum power consumption of only 165 watts. This ensures minimal impact on your energy bills while providing superior ventilation, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option.
EC fans are generally better than AC fans due to their superior energy efficiency, precise speed control, quieter operation, lower heat generation, and compliance with stringent energy regulations.
EC fan motors adjust their speed based on ventilation demand, reducing power consumption and lowering energy bills. They offer flexible speed control without the need for additional components, unlike AC motors, preventing energy wastage and providing a more adaptable solution for various ventilation needs.
EC motors, including those in the Blauberg CENTRO-EC-315, are not inherently explosion-proof. For applications requiring explosion-proof features, specific motor designs and certifications are needed. The CENTRO-EC-315 does not meet the UK ATEX directive, which sets the standards for equipment used in explosive atmospheres.
Therefore, it is not suitable for environments where explosion-proof characteristics are necessary. For such applications, it is crucial to select a fan specifically designed and certified to meet these stringent safety requirements. While the CENTRO-EC-315 complies with ERP regulations and boasts an energy rating class of B, it is essential to consider these limitations when planning for specific use cases.
Inline fans with EC motors, such as the Blauberg CENTRO-EC-315, comply with ERP regulations and often meet the requirements of the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy efficiency in buildings.
