Airvent EC Motor Inline Fan Variable Speed 200mm MAX 180W

A: The 200mm MAX model has a maximum power draw of 180W, which is higher than the 150mm models (50W and 70W). However, thanks to the EC motor and variable speed control, you can run it at lower speeds where it consumes significantly less power. At typical medium-speed settings for everyday ventilation, the energy usage is very reasonable. The higher wattage simply gives you the capacity to move much larger volumes of air when needed, making it ideal for larger rooms or longer duct runs.

A: The Airvent EC Motor 200mm MAX 180W fan operates at a very low noise level thanks to its EC motor technology. At lower speed settings, it is virtually silent and perfectly suitable for use in living areas, bedrooms, and home offices. At maximum speed, you may notice a slight hum, but it remains significantly quieter than traditional AC motor fans of the same size. The variable speed control allows you to find the ideal balance between airflow and noise for your space.

A: For best performance with the 200mm MAX 180W fan, we recommend using 200mm rigid or semi-rigid ducting. Rigid metal or PVC ducting provides the least airflow resistance and maximises efficiency. Flexible ducting can be used for short connections, but avoid long runs of flex duct as it significantly reduces airflow.

A: Yes, the 200mm MAX 180W is generally more powerful than what a standard bathroom requires. For typical residential bathrooms, we recommend the 150mm 50W or 70W models instead. The 200mm MAX is better suited for commercial spaces, large open areas, or applications requiring high-volume air extraction over longer duct runs.

A: The 200mm MAX 180W fan delivers a maximum airflow of approximately 1200 m³/h at full speed. This makes it one of the most powerful inline fans in the Airvent range, suitable for demanding ventilation applications where high airflow is essential.
