The industrial fan Industrial fan airRoxy aRw160 160 mm, airflow 185 m³⁄h, model 01-101 is compared with three alternative models from the airRoxy brand: Duct axial industrial fan airRoxy 250 mm 1000 m³⁄h 65 W IPx2 model 2131, Industrial fan airRoxy 2100 — 150 mm impeller, 180 m³⁄h airflow, 32 W power, and Duct axial fan airRoxy 315 mm 1350 m³⁄h 95 W IPx2 model 2148. All evaluated products belong to the industrial axial fan category and are designed for continuous air movement in technical spaces, workshops, and enclosures. The primary differences lie in airflow capacity, impeller diameter, power consumption, and physical scale, ranging from compact cabinet units to large warehouse ventilation channels.
⚙️ The table below compares the key characteristics of the models: type and application, impeller diameter, nominal airflow, power consumption, and protective features to clearly demonstrate the technical differences between compact and high-output versions.
| Parameter | airRoxy aRw160 (01-101) | airRoxy 250 mm (2131) | airRoxy 2100 (01-106) | airRoxy 315 mm (2148) | Practical significance |
|---|
| Type and application | Axial fan for small spaces and enclosures | Duct axial industrial fan for workshops and warehouses | Compact axial/inline fan for tight spaces | High-power duct axial fan for large facilities | The devices are sized for different space volumes, ranging from compact equipment enclosures to full-scale duct systems. |
| Impeller diameter | 160 mm | 250 mm | 150 mm | 315 mm | A larger impeller diameter delivers a massive air volume but requires more installation clearance. |
| Airflow capacity | 185 m³/h | 1000 m³/h | 180 m³/h | 1350 m³/h | Smaller models suit local cooling needs, whereas larger models provide heavy-duty ventilation for entire rooms. |
| Power consumption | Not specified | 65 W | 32 W | 95 W | Higher-output versions consume more electrical power, which is an important consideration for continuous operation. |
| Protection and features | Standard continuous airflow | IPx2 protection included | Compact housing design | IPx2 protection included | IPx2 protection enhances reliability in utility rooms where occasional moisture exposure might occur. |
◎ The table below evaluates the suitability of each model for various usage scenarios to help select the most appropriate fan for specific requirements.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Cooling small server cabinets and electrical enclosures | Industrial fan airRoxy aRw160 160 mm, airflow 185 m³⁄h, model 01-101 | Compact impeller size and moderate airflow make it ideal for confined local spaces. |
| Ventilating medium workshops and utility rooms | Duct axial industrial fan airRoxy 250 mm 1000 m³⁄h 65 W IPx2 model 2131 | Provides a substantial volume of air exchange and includes IPx2 protection for service room conditions. |
| Ensuring air movement in very tight technical niches | Industrial fan airRoxy 2100 — 150 mm impeller, 180 m³⁄h airflow, 32 W power | Features the most compact impeller diameter while maintaining sufficient performance for small setups. |
| Heavy-duty extraction in warehouses and industrial ducts | Duct axial fan airRoxy 315 mm 1350 m³⁄h 95 W IPx2 model 2148 | Delivers a maximum airflow of 1350 m³/h and a large diameter suited for intensive ventilation of large areas. |
The main product airRoxy aRw160 is best suited for local cooling in small enclosures, cabinets, and compact technical areas where steady airflow is required without excessive capacity. If your application involves ventilating large warehouses, spacious workshops, or extended duct systems, alternative models with higher airflow and larger impeller diameters are more appropriate.
