Outdoor, indoor endurance tests In outdoor and indoor endurance tests in our special endurance test rooms, our products are checked for their wear resistance by means of higher loads at an accelerated pace. These tests can be done in continuous operation or in coordinated switching cycles depending on the application. Last but not least, there is the product weathering loading in outdoor endurance tests.
Outdoor endurance testing ZIEHL-ABEGG fans are used in a variety of climate zones. The free field tests are specially designed accordingly. High UV exposure, cold or hot climate with corresponding varying air humidity (also icing) and contamination have to be taken into account.
Endurance testing in cold climate zones: ▪ S chilthorn in Switzerland ▪ 3,000 metres above sea level ▪ Temperatures to below -20°C, high wind and UV exposure
Aim of testing: To test the quality and durability of the ZIEHL-ABEGG products under real conditions of use, depending on the climate zone even in extremer climatic conditions. Endurance test in temperate climate zones: ▪ L ocation: Kuenzelsau and Kupferzell ▪ E Cblue and AC motors with various impellers in diverse installation positions in continuous operation and switching mode. End of life tests. ▪ O penly exposed to the elements Endurance testing in agricultural applications: ▪ Z IEHL-ABEGG agricultural fans, such as fans of the FF series with EC116 motors, are tested for years partly also during development in cooperation with regional pigsties and chicken coops in their later area of use. ▪ T his area of application is characterized by severe contamination and corrosion, thus presenting a special challenge.

Endurance test in tropical climate zones: ▪ T hailand ▪ H igh average temperatures all year round ▪ H igh air humidity Monitoring and recording of relevant data during fan endurance testing take place online in global areas of application. After completion of endurance testing, the fans are completely disassembled with the condition of individual components being evaluated. ziehl-abegg.com
