Everything shaping
the world of cooling.
Technology, companies and events worldwide
At Compamed 2026 in Düsseldorf (16–19 November), ebm-papst will present two tracks: compact AxiForce axial and RVE45 radial fans for medical devices, and retrofit concepts built on modern EC fans and FanGrid for existing hospital ventilation. The company positions itself as a system provider covering the full cycle from analysis to implementation.
ebm-papst has opened a 3,000 m² Air Technology Hub in Shah Alam, Malaysia, combining local assembly, RMA analysis, fan health monitoring and digital services under one roof. The facility extends the company's regional hub network—alongside its South China hub—and is positioned to serve growing HVAC, data-center and energy-efficient-building demand across Southeast Asia.
ebm-papst is expanding its NEXAIRA.Fit ventilation retrofit programme with a financial guarantee of projected energy savings, backed by Great Lakes Insurance SE, a Munich Re subsidiary. The guarantee is designed to reduce investment risk for building operators modernising existing HVAC systems.
ebm-papst will showcase its AxiForce and AxiEco 200 compact fan series at SPS 2026 in Nuremberg (Nov 24–26), targeting thermal management in control cabinets, energy storage, and data centers. The two series address distinct operating conditions: high back pressure and high cooling performance, respectively.
ebm-papst has extended its AxiBlade axial fan range with two new single-blade models — the 1030 mm AxiBlade.S.Perform and the 1250 mm AxiBlade.S — aimed at noise-sensitive applications in chillers, condensers, recoolers, and data center cooling. Both fans are tuned at the system level (impeller, EC motor, shroud, electronics) and ship with MODBUS connectivity for integration into the NEXAIRA digital platform.
According to ebm-papst, the installation of 61 EC fans and a NEXAIRA digital monitoring layer at Berlin's Pankow Town Hall Center reduced energy consumption by 46% and saved roughly 76,000 euros between 2021 and 2025. The operator is already planning further modernization steps.
The approach assesses evaporator icing rather than relying solely on a timer.
