About Wingfan
Wingfan Ltd. & Co. KG, headquartered in Hamburg, develops and manufactures axial fans, valve-controlled fan clutches (FanClutches), fan housings (shrouds) and complete cooling and fan systems including oil coolers, coolant radiators and charge air coolers. The focus is on engine cooling in mobile and stationary applications as well as ventilation for HVAC and refrigeration applications. The group operates nine production sites on five continents with two competence centers in Germany (axial fans and FanClutches) and Italy (cooling and fan systems, Wingfan S.r.l., Turin and Verona) and sells in 68 countries. Development includes FEM calculation, CFD analysis, CAD 3D design, Speedy Prototyping and the WingFan SELECT sizing software. Testing takes place in the company's own AMCA-certified wind tunnel as well as via burst, start-stop and vibration tests. Customers are international OEM manufacturers, among others in construction machinery, agricultural technology and the commercial vehicle sector.

Development, Processes and Testing
FEM calculation
Structural design of systems prior to toolmaking for early detection of weak points.
CFD analysis
Analysis of flow patterns, pressure distribution and interactions with surrounding structures.
CAD 3D design
Design including solid modelling for customised fan and cooling solutions.
Wind tunnel testing (AMCA)
Testing of the airflow performance of complete cooling modules in the intake-chamber test rig.
Burst test
Acceleration of the fan blade until it bursts to validate rotor safety.
Start-Stop test rig
Simulation of the product life-cycle for fans and fan clutches.
Vibration test
Determination of resonance frequencies to design for improved durability.
Speedy Prototyping
Rapid samples of axial fans for accelerated project schedules up to SOP.
WingFan SELECT
Sizing software for configuring and selecting the right fan for the respective application.
