Blauberg Inline Fans

Articles

Blauberg is a German ventilation brand known for inline duct fans, heat recovery units, and other air movement products.
They’re popular in Europe for residential, commercial, and light industrial ventilation.

🔧 What are inline fans?

Inline fans are installed inside a duct — they boost airflow through ventilation ducts for:

  • Bathrooms, kitchens, or utility rooms
  • Whole-house or apartment ventilation
  • Grow rooms or greenhouses
  • Industrial or commercial ducting

⚙️ Blauberg inline fan types

Typical Blauberg inline fan ranges include:

1️ Mixed-flow fans (e.g., Blauberg Turbo, Blauberg Iso-Mix)

  • Compact, high pressure, higher airflow than axial fans.
  • Good for medium-length ducts with moderate resistance.
  • Quieter than standard axial fans.
  • Often used in residential or light commercial ductwork.

2️ Centrifugal inline fans (e.g., Blauberg Centro, Blauberg Iso-Vent)

  • Higher static pressure.
  • Good for longer ducts with bends and filters.
  • Usually quieter due to better sound insulation — many models have acoustic insulation (Iso versions).

3️ Axial inline fans (e.g., Blauberg Inline)

  • Basic fans for short, straight ducts.
  • Low pressure, high airflow.
  • Simple and cost-effective for straightforward extraction.

Key features

  • Available with single-speed, multi-speed, or EC motors.
  • Many models have backward-curved centrifugal impellers.
  • Some have built-in thermal protection.
  • Some come with built-in sound insulation for quiet operation.
  • EC models are more efficient and can be controlled by 0–10 V signals or potentiometers.

📐 Applications

  • Residential: Bathrooms, kitchens, air extraction.
  • Commercial: Offices, shops, restaurants, server rooms.
  • Special: Hydroponics/grow tents (very popular in that market).

🔌 Installation tips

  • Use flexible connectors to reduce vibration noise.
  • Mount with anti-vibration mounts if needed.
  • Install access for cleaning/maintenance.
  • Size the fan for your duct diameter and airflow requirements.
  • Consider backdraft dampers if needed to prevent unwanted airflow.

🔊 Noise

  • Inline fans can create duct-borne noise → add silencers if needed.
  • Many Blauberg models have insulated casings (ISO versions) for quieter operation.
