ABB Bailey IPFAN13 Fan Assembly

Cooling Performance and Airflow Direction

The ABB Bailey IPFAN13 provides forced-air cooling for Bailey control cabinets. This fan assembly draws cool air into the enclosure and expels hot air. It maintains safe operating temperatures for all internal modules.

Internal Architecture and Fan Configuration

The IPFAN13 contains two independent brushless DC fans inside one housing. Each fan motor drives a plastic impeller with five blades. A speed monitor board tracks the rotation of both fans continuously. The ABB Bailey IPFAN13 includes a 470 µF capacitor for motor startup assistance. Two status LEDs provide immediate visual feedback about fan health. The green RUN LED illuminates when both fans receive power correctly.

Airflow and Cooling Performance

This fan assembly delivers 120 CFM of total airflow at full speed. Each fan contributes 60 CFM to the combined cooling capacity. The IPFAN13 maintains cabinet temperature within 10°C of ambient air. It prevents thermal shutdown of sensitive controller and I/O modules. The assembly creates positive pressure inside sealed enclosures. This pressure keeps dust and contaminants away from electronics.

Installation and Replacement Guidelines

Install this fan assembly at the bottom or top of Bailey cabinets. Mount the IPFAN13 using the four pre-drilled mounting holes. Connect the 4-pin power header to the dedicated fan power port. Replace the entire assembly when either fan fails or slows down. The red FLT LED lights up when one fan drops below 2000 RPM. Clean the inlet filters every three months for optimal airflow.

Physical Dimensions and Power Requirements

The ABB Bailey IPFAN13 weighs 1.15 kilograms for stable mounting. Its height measures 267mm, width 105mm, and depth 185mm. This fan assembly consumes 9.5 watts of power at full speed. The module operates reliably from 0°C to +50°C ambient temperature. You cannot repair individual fans due to the sealed assembly design. Simply replace the complete IPFAN13 unit when cooling performance degrades.
