SANYO DENKI's ACDC fans refer to fans that can be directly connected to AC mains power (such as 100V–240V) but use a DC motor internally. By integrating the AC-to-DC conversion circuitry within the fan itself, these units combine the convenience of AC power supply with the high efficiency and long service life characteristic of DC fans.
Core Product Series: San Ace 120AD
The representative series of SANYO DENKI ACDC fans is the San Ace 120AD. Renowned for its high performance and reliability, this series is an ideal choice for industrial cooling applications.

Actual Application Cases
(1) Industrial Automation and Power Equipment
In industrial settings, equipment typically runs 24/7 and may face environments with dust and high temperatures.
●Application Case: Industrial control equipment and inverters.
●Actual Effect: An industrial equipment manufacturer adopted the SANYO DENKI San Ace 120AD series fans in its control equipment. In actual operation, the fans effectively lowered internal temperatures, avoiding downtime failures caused by overheating and significantly improving the equipment's operational efficiency and reliability. The long expected lifespan of up to 60,000 hours also reduced maintenance frequency and costs for the factory.
(2)Telecommunications and Data Centers
Equipment in telecom base stations and data centers generates significant heat and has extremely high requirements for operational stability, especially in high-power-density scenarios like 5G base stations.
●Application Case: Cooling for 5G base stations and servers.
●Actual Effect: SANYO DENKI fans were used to solve high-density heat dissipation problems in power amplifiers of 5G base stations and data center servers. By adopting efficient cooling solutions (such as fan walls), the equipment's PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) was successfully reduced from 1.45 to 1.30, with annual power savings of up to 18,000 kWh per cabinet. Meanwhile, its fast fault-switching capability (<0.8 seconds) effectively prevented server downtime due to overheating.
(3)New Energy and Charging Stations
New energy equipment (such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging stations) typically operates in harsh environments with large temperature differences, requiring high stability and wide voltage adaptability from cooling fans.
●Application Case: Electric vehicle charging stations.
●Actual Effect: A charging station operator integrated SANYO DENKI ACDC fans into its equipment. Through intelligent temperature control technology, the fan can automatically adjust its speed based on the charging load and internal temperature. During high-load fast charging, the fan operates at full speed, ensuring the power conversion module runs at a low temperature. This not only improves charging safety but also effectively extends the overall service life of the charging station.
(4)Rail Transit
Rail transit equipment (such as train inverters) needs to operate stably under extreme conditions of vibration and wide temperature ranges.
●Application Case: Inverters for plateau trains.
●Actual Effect: For the inverter cooling systems of trains on plateau lines such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, SANYO DENKI's wide-temperature-range, high-protection-grade fans were selected. Verified by two years of actual operation data, this solution reduced the inverter's cooling failure rate by 74%, ensuring the train's stable operation in extreme environments.
(5)Medical Equipment
Medical imaging equipment (such as CT and MRI) is highly sensitive to operating noise and requires extremely high precision.
●Application Case: Cooling for medical imaging equipment.
●Actual Effect: A medical equipment manufacturer used SANYO DENKI's low-noise ACDC fans in its imaging equipment. Due to the extremely quiet operation of the fans, patient comfort during examinations was significantly improved. At the same time, the fans ensured a stable temperature for the equipment's core components, guaranteeing imaging quality.
The above cases indicate that SANYO DENKI ACDC fans not only provide efficient cooling capacity but, more importantly, solve practical pain points in various industries through their long lifespan, wide voltage range, and intelligent control features.
