External cooling

BEGE offers high-quality and reliable forced cooling ventilation for cooling electric motors, to enable optimum motor performance. Thanks to their IEC compatibility and Compact Airflow System (CAS), they are versatile and perform efficiently in a variety of applications.

Forced ventilation: optimum heat dissipation prevents motors overheating

BEGE supplies external ventilation units (IC416) from STARK, specially designed for machine builders facing the challenges of motors overheating. These fans are essential for preventing the temperature inside electric motors from rising to critical levels, which can lead to reduced efficiency, downtime and serious damage, such as burnout and motor failure.

STARK fans provide axial air displacement, directing the airflow close to the motor surface. This promotes cooling of the cooling fins, optimizes performance and minimizes the risk of downtime.

When should forced ventilation be used?

Forced motor cooling and VFDs

When controlling the motor speed with a frequency inverter, external cooling is important as at low speeds a frequency-controlled motor only dissipates its heat well with auxiliary ventilation .

STARK fans can be specifically aligned with the electric motor in combination with the VFD. While the frequency inverter adjusts the motor flux at low speeds, the forced cooling fan ensures sufficient heat dissipation, keeping the motor at an optimal temperature. This results in maximum performance and cooling even at low speeds, minimizing motor failures and downtime.

Forced ventilation in hot environments

In hot applications, such as over a furnace, motors often have problems with overheating. Even during periods of inactivity, cooling is crucial for maintaining performance and preventing damage. External cooling fans provide essential heat dissipation, ensuring reliable operation.

Fans for low speed motors

At very low speeds, the standard ventilation may be insufficient, while good cooling is essential for the reliability of the machine. In such cases, forced cooling is essential for maintaining optimal performance.
