A higher-effectiveness, smaller core raises pressure drop and pushes the fan into a higher static-pressure class &#8211; more motor power and more noise. Selection balances recovery gain against fan penalty.<\/p>\n<h2>Why EC fans change the equation<\/h2>\n<p>EC (electronically commutated) fans hold efficiency at part load, so a recovery system with variable flow keeps its fan energy low even when the core drop is significant.
