In the demanding world of industrial ventilation and laboratories, choosing the right anti-corrosion fan can be complex. Between the multiple technical parameters to consider, the installation constraints and the chemical resistance specifications, professionals have long had to navigate a maze of technical data. It is precisely to meet these challenges that SEAT Ventilation has developed SOLUTIONS TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS.
The challenges of traditional sizing
Professionals faced with the choice of an anti-corrosion fan had to face many obstacles:
Access to CAD /BIM data and drawings: Obtaining the design files needed for integration into architecture and engineering projects was often laborious.
The complexity of the technical parameters: Flow rate, static pressure, chemical resistance, operating temperature, ATEX certification, etc. The variables to be considered are numerous and interdependent.
Time-consuming catalog consultation: Going through dozens of pages of technical specifications to identify the optimal model was a considerable time investment.
Costly selection errors: Incorrect sizing can lead to malfunctions, overconsumption of energy or even safety risks.
Zéphyr: The digital revolution of selection
Specially designed by SEAT, Zephyr is an innovative selection software that radically transforms the approach to sizing ventilation systems. It responds simply and quickly to technical requests on their anti-corrosion fans. This intuitive web-based solution revolutionizes the traditional approach to sizing.
Remarkable ease of use
Very easy to use and ergonomic, the Zephyr software is accessible to everyone. Only two parameters are needed to choose a fan: the desired flow rate and the required static pressure. With a simple click, the selection software helps you choose the most suitable fan for the application.
Advanced features for professionals
Comprehensive acoustic data: Display of acoustic data at the point of operation, the envelope as well as at the inlet and outlet of the fan. The entire frequency band from 63 Hz to 8000 Hz is available as well as Type A weighted sound power and sound pressure.
Integrated technical documentation: Fan data sheet with side 2D drawings and access to all technical and legal documents available for download (declaration of conformity, data sheets, etc.).
Detailed motor data: Motor data corresponding to the selected fan as well as general information such as drive type, materials, minimum and maximum flow rate and pressure, phase, amperage, voltage, operating temperature, weight.
Selection reliability
No more sizing errors: Zéphyr guides the user to the optimal solution according to his specific parameters, drastically reducing the risk of bad choices.
Universal accessibility
Available in French and English, accessible in international (m3/h, Pa) and US (CFM, inWg) metrics, the software adapts to the local practices of each user.
CAD/BIM integration: design and project simplified
One of the major strengths of the SEAT ecosystem is its seamless integration with design tools. The 3D models of the fans are available for SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, Creo, CATIA, Solid Edge, autoCAD, Revit and many other CAD software but also in CAD STEP, STL, IGES, DWG, DXF and more formats.
This approach allows architects and engineers to integrate SEAT fans directly into their BIM projects, ensuring perfect consistency between design and implementation, while optimizing collaborative workflows.
Concrete benefits for professionals
Spectacular time savings
Fast: Saves time by getting all the information instantly and autonomously. What used to take hours of research and comparison is now solved in minutes.
Comprehensive documentation
Production of a PDF summarizing the information concerning the selected fan, facilitating exchanges with the project teams and the traceability of technical choices.
Solutions for all demanding environments
The SEAT range covers an impressive spectrum of applications: laboratories, chemical and petrochemical industries, water treatment, swimming pools, food processing, electronics, hospitals, universities, surface treatment. These centrifugal fans are chemical and corrosive resistant, also available in anti-static polypropylene for explosive atmospheres.
Performance ranges from 40 to 4500 PA static pressure and 50 to 15000 m3/h, covering almost all industrial and laboratory needs.
Commitment to quality and service
SEAT Ventilation establishes and maintains a close and serene relationship with all its customers, being available and attentive to their needs, providing a top-of-the-range service ensuring that most of the products are ex-works within 24 to 48 hours.
This responsiveness, coupled with the technical expertise of the team, guarantees optimal support throughout the project, from selection to commissioning.
Conclusion
SEAT Ventilation is a perfect example of how digital innovation can transform industrial practices. With Zéphyr, by simplifying technical selection while maintaining product excellence, this solution is an essential tool for all professionals facing the challenges of ventilation in aggressive environments.
In addition, the native integration with CAD/BIM tools, the wealth of data and technical drawings available and the ease of use make Zéphyr much more than a simple configurator: it is a real intelligent assistant at the service of performance and safety.
In a world where operational efficiency and technical precision are crucial, SEAT Ventilation really simplifies your life, allowing you to focus on what matters most: the success of your projects.
