Our radial blowers U65HN-024KS-6 and U65MN-024KS-6 have successfully passed the rigorous oxygen compartment fire test in accordance with IEC 60601-1:2020, confirming their safety for use in oxygen-rich environments, particularly in medical ventilators.
The test, conducted by WHA International, simulated conditions within an oxygen-rich housing to verify the blowers’ fire safety. The blowers were placed in a specialized test chamber and operated in a 100% oxygen environment. After a 20-minute warm-up phase, an igniter was activated within the housing to initiate a controlled ignition. The objective of the test was to ensure that flames or combustion residues would not escape from the blowers’ housing, eliminating any risk to patients.
The results confirm that the blowers extinguish the flame on their own, and no flames exit the housing. This makes our blowers exceptionally well-suited for demanding medical applications.
