Cooling Fans
Howden’s range of industrial cooling fans are used as part of wet, dry and hybrid cooling systems. Our fans lead the way in high efficiency and low noise operation.
Howden’s range of industrial cooling fans are used as part of wet, dry and hybrid cooling systems. Our fans lead the way in high efficiency and low noise operation.
Our range of cooling fans consists of the D, E, SX and FPX series and deliver outstanding performance in efficiency and noise levels across a diverse set of industries from oil & gas and power plants through to light industrial manufacturing plants, datacenters, commercial buildings and industrial machinery engines.
Howden’s cooling fan technology serves a wide variety of applications and industries. See a short video presentation from our centre of excellence at Howden Netherlands.
The D-Series is mainly used within Air Cooled Condensers, but can also be deployed within field-erected Cooling Towers. With its larger diameters, it is typically used within industries with significant cooling requirements such as power and large-scale energy facilities. Due to its diameter range it is not typically used within Air Cooled Heat Exchangers.
The E-series is the choice for heavy-duty situations in vertical or horizontal mounting configurations for a wide range of applications. As the E-Series has a wide diameter range and can withstand high pressures, it can be used across Cooling Towers (field erected and packaged), Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and Air Cooled Condensers.
The SX-series is the preferred solution for applications with stringent noise requirements and capable of reducing noise by up to 20 dB(A) compared with standard cooling fans.
The SX-series is the ideal solution combining low noise emisions with optimal performance and can be applied in a wide range of applications. For example, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, Cooling Towers and Air Cooled Condensers. The SXT and SXM are derived from the SX with a smaller diameter range and therefore is primarily intended for smaller Cooling Towers and Air Cooled Heat Exchangers.
The FPX Series uses fixed-pitch ultra-low noise blades. Manufactured as a single piece impeller unit, offering very easy assembly and minimal maintenance, combined with ultra-low noise design. It is available in a wide range of diameters with different blade profiles and blade arrangements, to meet the specification of each low noise project.
Low noise fans offer the possibility to achieve optimum performance with respect to low noise, smaller footprint, increased efficiency and low Capex.
The FPXM combines a medium sized chord, full aerofoil blade profile with low noise and high efficiency.
The FPXM fan range reduces noise up to 14 dB(A) compared with standard cooling fans and minimizes the size of fan casings and transport cost due to the reduced chord and low weight.
The FPX series is mainly used in small standardized Cooling Towers, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and Radiators. The FPX is also able to be deployed in Hybrid Coolers, meaning that the FPX fan can satisfy cooling demands within heavy process industries and well as HVAC-R applications.
Direct Air Capture is the process of capturing CO2 directly from the ambient air either through a recirculating fluid or through a solid sorbent. This process generates a concentrated stream of CO2 for sequestration, utilisation or production of carbon-neutral fuel.
Howden provides the low pressure axial fans that would be mounted on top of a DAC tower to draw ambient air through a recirculating fluid or through a solid sorbent which traps the CO2 from the ambient air. From there the CO2 can be used or sequestered.
Our Howden engineers are the finest in the world at selecting the right solution for our customers. We know that customers want to do their own selections as well though. Therefore we have taken our 160 years of engineering expertise and utilising our world leading engineers have produced software that allows you access to create your own selections.

Howden’s aftermarket capabilities range from servicing and parts supply through to performance upgrades and retrofits. The more advanced services can maximise the life of the fans in each system as well as keep their operation aligned to the latest technical parameters. This includes fan scans to provide insight into future repair needs, blade refurbishment to extend service life and retrofits to increase cooling capacity or reduce noise.
Howden offers a free consultation to assess the potential for enhanced performance and noise reduction and can deliver selected options on a turnkey basis.
Our expert in-house R&D department formed working partnerships with a wide range of external authorities, including universities and other institutions, to explore the optimum blade profiles, materials and mechanical configurations. We have state-of-the-art test facilities to investigate each permutation and evaluate each development.
The heart of our test facility is located in Hengelo, the Netherlands, where a full-scale test facility is located. Conveniently located at the High Tech Systems Park, the Howden Cooling Fans Competence Centre facilitates the testing and validation of all aerodynamic, mechanic, acoustic and factory repair activities. The new testing facility houses a range of assets that serve to test our latest developments in a controlled environment.
This testing facility provides a vital bridge between lab environments and real-world applications to safely test and validate our ultra-low noise axial fan technology. For example, all aerodynamic and acoustic tests are executed in a full-scale 6ft test rig, completely modelled and engineered to meet the AMCA standards. Beside this unique method, also other assessments can be executed such a full-scale mechanical and bending test. In combination with our chemical lab and our field measurements, this testing facility serves as the most valuable source for all our aerodynamic, acoustic, and reliable mechanical data, in order to provide a reliable fan solution for our customers.
