Conceived for industrial heavy duty applications that require enhanced cooling performance and advanced ingress
protection, the NF-F12 industrialPPC (Protected Performance Cooling) is a ruggedised high-speed version of the
award-winning retail model. The 24V variant uses a dedicated wide input range version of Noctua’s NE-FD2 motor
driver IC in order to support 24V-based industrial applications. Thanks to the outstanding aerodynamic efficiency of
the NF-F12 design and the use of a novel three-phase motor, the industrialPPC version provides superior airflow and
pressure capacity while keeping noise levels and power consumption moderate as against comparable high-speed
fans. While its fibre-glass reinforced polyamide construction and certified water and dust protection make the NF-F12
industrialPPC suitable for operation in challenging environments, the renowned SSO2 bearing technology guarantees
an MTBF of over 150.000hrs. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted reliability and 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the
NF-F12 industrialPPC is an ideal choice for highly demanding applications that require superior flow rates and ultimate
dependability.
24V version
The industrialPPC 24V models use a dedicated wide input range version of Noctua’s NE-FD2 three-phase motor driver
IC. Supporting operating voltages from 6 to 30V, these models are ideal for 24V-based industrial applications and
voltage-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 2000 rpm in 12V PC environments and can be slowed down further via PWM, thus combining
industrialPPC features and design with Noctua’s signature quietness.
Having received more than 150 awards and recommendations from the
international press, Noctua's NF-F12 has become a proven premium choice for
120mm cooling needs. Its renowned efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of
customers all over the world.
Thanks to its elevated 2000rpm top speed, the NF-F12 industrialPPC-2000
provides a significant performance boost over the 1500rpm retail version.
Combined with the industrialPPC series' robust polyamide construction and
advanced protection features, this makes the fan ideal for challenging
industrial applications.
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.
Class-leading energy efficiency
While the standard NF-F12 is one of the most energy efficient 1500rpm 120mm
fans on the market, the industrialPPC version's three-phase motor provides a
further 10% reduction in power consumption when compared at 2000rpm.
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.
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.
Focused Flowâ„¢ frame
Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and
radiators, the Focused Flowâ„¢ frame features eleven stator guide vanes that
straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the
performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control Notches
The NF-F12's stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and
feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission
over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan's sound pattern more
agreeable to the human ear.
Heptaperfâ„¢ Impeller
Custom designed for the new Focused Flowâ„¢ frame and to work in tandem with
the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12's seven blade Heptaperfâ„¢ impeller has
been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and
quietness.
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 screws and other mounting systems.
SSO2 Bearing
The NF-F12 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-F12
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-F12 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-F12 industrialPPC features an MTTF
rating of more than 150.000 hours and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer’s
warranty.
