Efficient fans and AI-based cooling system optimization for data centers

NEXAIRA: In the field of data center cooling, AI‑supported optimization reduces cooling energy by up to 50 percent.
ebm‑papst presented innovative fans and digital solutions for data centers at Data Center World Paris in November 2025. The focus of the exhibition was on the new AxiBlade.Perform fans and NEXAIRA.

ebm‑papst has a wide range of EC axial panel and centrifugal fans in its product portfolio that are designed to meet the various air conditioning solutions required in data centers, from in-row server rack cooling using chillers to precision air-conditioning units and other air handling units (AHUs).

AxiBlade.Perform: enhanced air performance, flexible installation
The new AxiBlade.Perform fans in sizes 860 and 950 mm for enhanced air performance in applications such as chillers, evaporators, and condensers are set to be unveiled for the first time at the trade fair. The newly developed plastic wall ring ensures stable air conduction, enables use in both airflow directions (intake and exhaust), and offers very flexible installation options. The fans' plug & play design makes them quick to install and easy to replace. Other practical features include a terminal box that can be bolted on at the side, a pressure tap for differential pressure and air flow measurement, and provision for the use of an air inlet grill (FlowGrid), which effectively reduces tonal noise. AxiBlade.Perform fans support both MODBUS-RTU and ebm papst's NEXAIRA cloud connection.
