Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN DFN01 Ventilation Fan?

The nVent HOFFMAN DFN01 is a compact, high-airflow industrial enclosure ventilation fan designed to provide effective forced-air cooling for electrical enclosures and control cabinets. As part of the nVent HOFFMAN DFN ventilation fan series, it is specifically designed for inside mounting, with the fan installed to a mounting surface from below and airflow directed upwards.

The DFN01 helps remove excess heat generated by electrical and electronic components, supporting reliable operation and improved thermal management within industrial enclosures. Multiple DFN fans can be installed where greater airflow is required, allowing enclosure cooling capacity to be increased according to the amount of heat generated by the installed equipment.

Operating from a 220–240 V AC supply, the DFN01 delivers an air circulation rate of 160 m³/h while consuming only 19 W. Its compact 119 × 119 × 42 mm format makes it a practical cooling solution for industrial control panels, with finger guards and mounting screws supplied for installation.

Key Advantages

  • Compact ventilation fan designed for industrial enclosure cooling.
  • High 160 m³/h air circulation for effective forced ventilation.
  • 220–240 V AC supply suitable for industrial electrical installations.
  • Low 19 W fan power consumption.
  • Inside mounting design with airflow directed upwards.
  • Multiple fans can be used to increase enclosure cooling capacity incrementally.

  • nVent HOFFMAN DFN ventilation fan series.
  • 160 m³/h air circulation.
  • 220–240 V AC operating voltage.
  • 19 W fan power.
  • 119 × 119 × 42 mm compact dimensions.
  • Inside mounting from below the mounting surface.
  • Upwards airflow direction for effective enclosure ventilation.
  • Extra contact provided for thermostat connection.
  • Supplied with finger guards and mounting screws.
  • Compatible with the optional nVent HOFFMAN DFN61 wiring kit for simplified connection.

Reliable Ventilation for Industrial Enclosures

Electrical and automation components generate heat during normal operation, and excessive enclosure temperatures can reduce component reliability and service life. The nVent HOFFMAN DFN01 provides forced air circulation to help transfer this heat away from sensitive equipment and maintain more suitable operating conditions inside the enclosure.

The DFN series supports incremental cooling because multiple ventilation fans can be installed according to the thermal requirements of the application. The DFN01 can be used with compatible nVent HOFFMAN fan roof plates and ventilated roof solutions, providing panel builders and automation engineers with a flexible approach to industrial enclosure thermal management.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical enclosures and control cabinets.
  • Automation and machine control panels.
  • PLC, drive and electronic equipment enclosures.
  • Manufacturing and production machinery.
  • Industrial enclosure roof ventilation systems.
  • Applications requiring forced-air circulation and incremental enclosure cooling.
