How to Solve the Noise Problem of the Fan?

The noise of the electronic cooling fan has always been a headache for us. It not only affects the quality of our products, but also brings other work troubles. So how does the noise of the electronic cooling fan come about? How can the noise of the electronic cooling fan be reduced? Now we teach you how to subtly reduce the noise of electronic cooling fans.


Ⅰ. Analysis of the cause of the noise of the electronic cooling fan

1. Is the fan fixed firmly?


If the fasteners cannot be closely integrated with the equipment, the vibration generated when the electronic cooling fan is running at a high speed will cause a lot of noise due to repeated collisions between the fixed plate and the fan.


2. Is there a lot of dust in the environment where the fan is used?


If dust is infiltrated into the shaft of the fan, when the fan blade rotates, the noise will increase due to the increased friction coefficient.


3. Is the temperature of the fan environment higher than 75℃?


If you originally purchased a fan with oil-containing bearings, and the fan's ambient temperature is higher than 75℃ for a long time, then within three months, the oil in the bearing of the cooling fan accessories will be dried and evaporated, and the friction coefficient will increase due to loss of lubrication, then the noise of the fan will be very loud, the fan blades even stop rotating.


Ⅱ. How to solve the noise problem of electronic cooling fans?

1. Add a plastic or rubber gasket between the fan and the fixed plate, which is tightly combined and buffers the vibration of the fan during operation.


2. Dust problem


Add a dust-proof net to the part of the electronic cooling fan that is exposed outside the box. There are currently two types of dust-proof nets to choose from: plastic three-in-one dust-proof nets and metal dust-proof nets. It is recommended to use a metal dust-proof net, which can not only prevent dust, but also provide strong protection against accidental insertion of foreign objects, especially when the temperature is high, the metal dust-proof net will not be deformed. All dust-proof nets must regularly clean the dust and foreign objects on them to avoid blocking the air outlet or inlet of the fan. Especially, miniature fans for electronics need to pay much attention to the dust problem.


3. High temperature problem


Generally speaking, oil-bearing fans are used for operating temperatures of 0-75℃; dual-ball bearing fans are used between 75-130℃ or -30-0℃. Generally speaking, oil-containing fans are less noisy than double ball fans and are economical and cheaper. The double ball fan has a larger air volume than an oil-contained fan and has a longer service life.


When we buy an electronic cooling fan, we must listen to the noise of the electronic cooling fan. If it is too large, then it is recommended that you do not buy it. Of course, the noise of the electronic cooling fan is not necessarily a fan quality problem, but it may also be a cooling fan accessory. The shaft lubrication effect is not good, or the electronic cooling fan is not installed properly. If this is the case, we reposition the fan or add some lubricant to the fan shaft to ensure a good lubrication effect.
