Reliable Reverse Flow Ventilation for Electrical Cabinets
The Finder 7F.21.8.230.4250.0 is designed to support controlled air circulation in electrical enclosures containing heat-generating equipment. Its reverse flow configuration allows the fan to operate with the airflow direction opposite to that of standard Finder 7F.20 filter fans, providing additional flexibility when designing enclosure ventilation systems.
With a nominal free-air capacity of 250 m³/h at 50 Hz and 295 m³/h at 60 Hz, the fan can assist with removing excess heat from cabinets containing PLCs, power supplies, contactors, motor controllers and variable frequency drives. When combined with an appropriately sized exhaust filter, the airflow is approximately 195/228 m³/h at 50/60 Hz under the manufacturer's stated test conditions.
The integrated G3 synthetic fibre filter mat helps capture coarse airborne particles, while the IP54-rated construction supports installation in suitable industrial electrical enclosures. The replaceable filter and snap-in mounting system simplify servicing and help maintain dependable ventilation performance over time.
