Make ship automation more reliable and efficient with the remote I/O system u-remote – Modern ship technology is inconceivable without automation systems. In many cases, the requirements are similar to those in the industry: recording, evaluating and monitoring a constantly growing number of signals; then converting the results into control commands within a defined time. On a ship, automation faces additional, very specific requirements: Space is usually even more limited than on land.
RS is now stocking the revolutionary new DiaForce 120mm diagonal compact fans from ebm-papst. The new DiaForce fans feature an innovative design that combines the high airflow volume of an axial fan with the high static pressure capabilities of a centrifugal fan. This inventive combination delivers the high performance of counter-rotating axial fans with less noise and significant power efficiency improvements to satisfy the challenging cooling demands of evolving digital connectivity applications.
