Oggi abbiamo il piacere di presentarvi i nuovi modelli di ventole Noctua della serie Industrial IPPC 12 e 24V da 120 e 140mm, oltre all'intera gamma di adattatori colorati della serie CHROMAX. Dopo anni di richieste da parte dell'utenza appassionata, Noctua ha finalmente rilasciato sul mercato degli accessori che permettono una personalizzazione cromatica dei propri modelli di ventole, e come vedrete ha tirato fuori dal cilindro un sistema particolaremente interessante e poliedrico, sebbene costoso. Noctua è il leader in questo settore, indiscusso, quindi è ragionevole aspettarsi un price-premium; oltre agli accessori Chromax verranno esaminate anche le ventole Industrial aventi un voltaggio maggiore. Saranno eseguiti dei test termici su entrambi i modelli, rapportandole alla versione NF-F12 Desktop, utilizzando l'alimentazione a 12V. Ricordiamo che la 24V è utile in ambito server e richiede quindi alimentatori particolari. In tali scenari queste ventole sono semplicemente eccelse, per via dell'elevatissima qualità costruttiva, MTBF e bearing proprietario. In ambito desktop invece stupiscono per la loro silenziosità e qualità in esercizio. Scopriamole insieme, buona lettura.

Features peculiari dei modelli Industrial IPPC-24V

Di seguito la lista delle caratteristiche peculiari dei modelli recensiti oggi, tratta direttamente dal portale del produttore:

Award-winning NF-A14 design Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from the international press, Noctua's NF-A14 has become a proven premium choice for 140mm cooling needs. Its renowned efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of customers all over the world.

3000rpm industrialPPC version Running twice as fast as the 1500rpm retail version, the NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 provides extreme airflow and pressure performance. Combined with the industrialPPC series' robust polyamide construction and advanced protection features, this makes the fan ideal for challenging industrial applications.

24V version The industrialPPC 24V models use a dedicated wide input range version of Noctua's NE-FD2 three-phase PWM motor driver IC. Supporting operating voltages from 6 to 30V, these models are ideal for 24V-based industrial applications and voltage- or PWM-based speed control.

Lower speed and noise levels in 12V PC environments While the industrialPPC 24V model has been designed with 24V industrial applications in mind, it runs at a maximum speed of around 1800rpm in 12V PC environments and can be slowed down further via PWM, thus combining industrialPPC features and design with Noctua’s signature quietness.

Three-phase motor design While most axial fans use single-phase motors with 4 slots, Noctua's industrialPPC fans feature a three-phase design with 6 slots, which provides smoother transitions between the slots and thus allows for even higher running smoothness, further reduced vibrations and unprecedented energy efficiency.

Certified IP67 water- and dust protection The motor and PCB of the IP67 version are completely cast in a special, highly heat conductive resin that combines thoroughgoing protection and effective motor heat dissipation. Complying with the ingress protection rating IP67, this fan is not only fully dust tight but also completely waterproof up to 1m water depth.

Fibre-glass reinforced polyamide construction Both the impeller and the frame of Noctua’s industrialPPC fans are made entirely from fibre-glass reinforced polyamide. This material can withstand temperatures up to 140°C and makes the fans even more robust and break-proof than Noctua’s standard fibre-glass reinforced PBT fans.

Flow Acceleration Channels The NF-A14 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise.

AAO Frame Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua's proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan's performance/noise efficiency.

Stepped Inlet Design Noctua's Stepped Inlet Design adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow, which reduces tonal intake noise, improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity, especially in space-restricted environments.

Inner Surface Microstructures With the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.

Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard mounting systems and fan clips used on heatsinks.

SSO2 Bearing The NF-A14 industrialPPC features the further optimised second generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability.

Metal bearing shell In order to guarantee the highest possible degree of manufacturing precision, minimum tolerance and excellent long-term stability, the NF-A14 industrialPPC sports a CNC milled bearing shell made entirely from brass.

Custom-designed PWM IC with SCD Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the NF-A14 industrialPPC uses Noctua's custom-designed NE-FD2 PWM IC for three-phase motors. The NE-FD2 integrates Noctua's proprietary Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, which suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds.

6-year manufacturer’s warranty Noctua fans are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the NF-A14 industrialPPC features an MTBF rating of more than 150.000 hours and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
