EBM Papst at Chillventa 2026
From 13 - 15 October, in Nuremberg, Germany, EBM Papst combines hardware engineering with the NEXAIRA digital platform to optimize industrial ventilation and refrigeration lifecycle performance.

Industrial ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems face increasing regulatory demands alongside complex integration requirements. ebm-papst addresses this operational challenge through a cross-divisional approach that pairs aerodynamic hardware development with the cloud-based NEXAIRA digital architecture from ebm-papst neo.
System Architecture and Component Integration
The combined engineering strategy addresses the transition from isolated component performance to full system-level optimization. Aerodynamic fans, including the AxiBlade.Perform and AxiBlade.S.Perform series, serve as the physical base to achieve compliance with updated ErP regulatory standards. These units integrate directly with digital interfaces that stream operating parameters into the NEXAIRA digital ecosystem. Within this architecture, responsibilities are structured between physical air movement engineering and digital infrastructure:
- Aerodynamic and Drive Engineering: Optimization of motor electronics and blade geometry to lower baseline power consumption in heat pumps, chillers, and industrial cooling circuits.
- ebm-papst neo Digital Infrastructure: Implementation of sensor integration, continuous condition monitoring, automated reporting, and predictive maintenance protocols across the equipment lifecycle.
Retrofit Implementation and Operational Mechanics
System modernization relies on retrofitting existing refrigeration and cooling circuits with connected fan assemblies. Field data acquired by local motor electronics is transmitted via standard industrial communication protocols to central controllers and digital monitoring platforms.
This mechanical-to-digital connection enables continuous tracking of load profiles, vibration, and thermal metrics. Maintenance teams utilize these data points to shift from scheduled maintenance routines to predictive intervention, reducing unscheduled system downtime while stabilizing operating efficiency under fluctuating thermal loads.
Deployment Context
Technical frameworks for the hardware-software integration and compliance management will be presented at Chillventa (October 14, 2026, Nuremberg, Germany). The presentation covers retrofit protocols designed to reduce lifecycle operational costs and align existing industrial cooling installations with ErP26 regulatory parameters.
