Why Engineers Switch from K3G190 to LWBE3G190
4–8× Faster Delivery
40–55% Lower Landed Cost
Drop-in Candidate · Same Size Class
Drop-in compatibility: what matches and what to confirm
Mechanical match
The LONGWELL LWBE3G190 matches the ebm-papst K3G190 mounting pattern (M-mount, ISO 9001 plenum-fan footprint) per the mounting dimensions on the LONGWELL drawing. Inlet ring diameter, motor shaft height, and electrical termination box position are identical. In most retrofits no plate modification is needed — confirm the mounting dimensions against the LONGWELL drawing before ordering.
Electrical & control match
The LWBE3G190 accepts the same 0–10 V analog speed reference, PWM (1 kHz), and Modbus RTU (RS485) control signals as ebm-papst K3G190. LONGWELL provides the Modbus register map and a cross-reference to the ebm-papst map for BMS integration.For ebm-papst-specific bus protocols (EC-Control), ask LONGWELL engineering for the integration options.
Performance match
The measured P-Q curve of every LONGWELL model is on its model page; we check your duty point against it before quoting.
Typical Applications
The LWBE3G190 is widely deployed across Compact residential ERV, decentralized single-room ERV, small fan coil. Common application categories include:
- Compact ERV
- Decentralized ERV
- Small fan coil
- Bath exhaust
Particularly suited for decentralized single-room ERV retrofit (Lunos-class) and small fan coil units.
