Where fan motors work in refrigeration equipment
A refrigeration cabinet usually has two fans. The evaporator fan, inside the cold space, moves air across the evaporator coil and around the stored goods so the cabinet cools evenly. The condenser fan, outside the cold space, pulls air through the condenser coil and carries the heat away from the refrigeration circuit.
Both fans run for long hours at a steady load, which is why small single-phase motors such as shaded pole motors and moulded fan motors are widely used for them. The motor carries an axial fan blade and is held in place by a bracket or a flange, often behind a wire guard.
Commercial fridges
Reach-in fridges, display cases and back-bar coolers use the same two fan positions. Fengyin supplies motors used in commercial refrigeration; our YZF shaded pole motors and YSK BMC motors are listed below with their own model tables.
Commercial freezers
In a freezer the evaporator fan works inside the frozen compartment, so the motor, its mounting and its lead wires sit in cold, sometimes humid air. Fengyin quotes freezer evaporator fan motors from the cabinet details you send.
Sourcing checklist
- Supply voltage and frequency of the cabinet, and whether you need 110-120 V or 220-240 V versions
- Air volume needed and the fan blade diameter and angle
- Mounting method: bracket, flange or your own frame, with the available space
- Lead wire length and connector or terminal type
- Labelling and packaging requirements for your production line
- Annual quantity, first order size and sample needs
Send these points with your enquiry and we will reply with the models we can quote for your cabinet.
