Backward-curved fan with photocatalysis: efficiency, advanced control and disinfection in HVAC ventilation

Tuesday 03 February 2026

Airtècnics continues to advance in indoor air quality (IAQ) by adding photocatalysis technology to its range of compact backward-curved PlugFan units. Photocatalysis is applied for active air disinfection (without filtration), combining high aerodynamic performance, energy efficiency and continuous purification in HVAC ventilation systems and OEM solutions.

 

 

Ventilation and disinfection in one

The backward-curved fans incorporate disinfection technology based on a catalyst activated by ultraviolet light that generates advanced oxidation reactions. This process enables the reduction of microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors, improving air quality without emitting harmful agents to living beings.

Unlike other purification systems, photocatalysis operates continuously, silently and without replacement parts, making it an ideal solution for direct integration into ventilation equipment.

More information about Airtècnics patented photocatalysis technology - Kleenfan

Aerodynamic design with backward-curved blades

The RMEC FC series uses a radial impeller with backward-curved blades, optimized to achieve high static pressure levels with reduced energy consumption. This design ensures stable operation even in installations with filters, coils or additional air treatment modules, such as the photocatalysis system itself.

EC motor and intelligent airflow control

Equipped with a high-efficiency EC motor and continuous 0–10 V speed control, the RMAC / RMEC FC fans allow airflow to be adjusted to the system’s actual demand, optimizing energy consumption and ensuring adequate air contact time with the photocatalytic module to maximize disinfection effectiveness.

Compact Plug-Fan module for OEM integration

The Airtècnics Plug-Fan concept enables direct integration of the fan with photocatalysis into air handling units, heat recovery units and customized ventilation equipment. Its robust galvanized steel structure and front mounting panel reduce installation times and simplify OEM equipment design.

Applications

The RMAC/RMEC FC fan range is particularly suitable for applications where ventilation must also enhance air hygiene:

  • Air Handling Units (AHU).
  • Commercial buildings, offices and educational centers.
  • Hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities.
  • OEM equipment requiring integrated air purification.
