What is EFU?

EFU is a fan filter unit used for local air filtration and air supply at the equipment end. It usually consists of a box, fan, motor, filter and control components. It sucks the air into the box, filters it and sends it to the inside of the equipment or the designated work area. The specific air supply method, filtration configuration and installation structure need to be determined based on the equipment space and process requirements.

In applications such as semiconductor equipment, EFEM, precision electronic equipment, etc., EFU is often used to supply air to local areas inside the equipment. When understanding EFU, you should not only look at the external dimensions, but also need to understand the air supply coverage, air volume and static pressure, filtration requirements, air inlet space, and whether the equipment has space for installation and maintenance.

EFU FAQs and Selection Guide

1. Basic knowledge of fan box

This section introduces the definition, composition and function of the fan box, and helps project personnel distinguish the respective tasks of the fan box, air conditioning box and terminal air supply equipment.

The fan box usually consists of a box, a fan, a motor and related electrical components, and mainly provides power for the air supply or exhaust system. To determine whether a fan chassis is suitable, you should not only look at the external dimensions, but also confirm its installation position in the system, target air volume, and resistance that needs to be overcome.

  • What is the main use of DC fan box? Time-sharing operation and on-demand air supply scenarios
    DC fan cabinets are mainly used for air supply and exhaust systems that need to adjust the air volume on demand. They are especially suitable for projects where the operating period, regional load or the number of equipment turned on will change. Time-sharing operation is the most typical usage scenario. The speed can be switched according to work, duty and other modes to reduce the input power during low load periods. Demand air can also manage regional load changes, but reducing the speed will also change the pressure available, and it must be verified that the most unfavorable end still meets the requirements. New projects can unify control interfaces during the design phase, while renovation projects must first take stock of the original control signals, power supply capacity, and maintenance space. To judge applicability, it is necessary to provide the design air volume, common air volume, corresponding external static pressure, operating period, most unfavorable end demand, power supply conditions, speed control signal type and installation conditions. Aili Industrial can discuss the configuration of the DC fan chassis according to actual working conditions, and the division of labor boundaries with EFU, FFU, high-efficiency air supply vents and other equipment will be clearly defined on the system flow chart.
  • What is the fan box mainly used for? Look at the air supply and exhaust position and system resistance
    This article explains the role of the fan box in air supply and exhaust from the system position, and distinguishes between power equipment and terminal filter equipment. The fan box is mainly used to provide air supply and exhaust power for air ducts or equipment, and is suitable for systems that need to overcome the resistance of pipelines and components. Air supply, exhaust and pressurization are three typical uses. Different uses have different selection boundaries. The fan box does not directly define the air cleanliness level. Cleaning projects need to separately determine terminal solutions such as high-efficiency air supply outlets, HEPA/ULPA filters or FFU. To determine whether the purpose is matched, air supply or exhaust, design air volume, external static pressure, air medium, operating time, control method and installation conditions should be provided. Only by knowing the position of the fan box in the entire air path can the box structure, fan curve and maintenance direction be determined.
  • What is a DC fan chassis? Description of motor, drive and speed regulation methods
    The DC fan box drives the fan with a DC or electronically commutated power system. Only by understanding the cooperation of motors, drives and control signals can you judge whether it is suitable for a new construction or renovation project. The rated power of the motor is used to define the capacity of the motor, and the input power of the fan box is the actual power consumption of the whole machine under specific working conditions. The two are not the same number. When making an inquiry, you should confirm the speed control signal, start and stop methods, fault feedback and minimum operating air volume.
  • What is a fan box? Understand its role from air volume, static pressure and system location
    The fan box is a combined device that provides air supply and exhaust power to the air duct or equipment. This article explains its boundaries with filters and FFU, as well as the selection method based on air volume and system resistance. The air volume is sufficient when the same typhoon chassis is connected to a short air duct, but cannot meet the end requirements after being connected to a new filter section and long air duct. This is not necessarily a motor failure.
2.EFU parameters and selection

EFU selection requires simultaneous confirmation of the installation space, target air volume, outlet wind speed, working static pressure, filtration efficiency, wind speed uniformity, power supply method, control interface and maintenance direction.

The device-side project cannot determine the model based solely on the EFU dimensions. Products of the same size may use different fans, filters and control methods, and the actual air volume and static pressure capacity may also be different.

Just because the shape can be put in does not mean that the air volume, coverage and maintenance requirements are met.
  • Why should we consider both air volume and static pressure when selecting EFU? Equipment working point confirmation method
    EFU air volume represents the air delivery volume, and static pressure represents the ability to overcome resistance. When selecting the model, you must check both under the same working conditions and explain the filter, rotation speed and installation boundaries to determine the actual working point after installation.
3. Ultra-thin EFU and small-size EFU

Ultra-thin EFU is mainly suitable for applications where the top height of the equipment is limited, the internal space is compact, or conventional clean air supply equipment cannot be installed.
