LWBE3G280 at a glance

Production Lead Time

15–30 days
Ex works for production batches. Stock standard models ship as samples in 1–3 days.

Pricing

Quoted per project
Price depends on model, voltage, control option and quantity. Sample fees are credited in full against the first production order.

Same Impeller Diameter

Ø280 mm
Same impeller diameter; confirm the mounting hole pattern and inlet ring against the LONGWELL drawing before ordering.

Installation and control: what to check

Mechanical

Mounting dimensions, inlet ring diameter, motor shaft height and terminal-box position of the LONGWELL LWBE3G280 are given on its dimensioned drawing. Compare them with the installed fan before ordering.

Electrical & control

The LONGWELL LWBE3G280 accepts a 0–10 V analog speed reference, PWM and Modbus RTU (RS485) control signals (per model; see the model datasheet). LONGWELL supplies its Modbus RTU register map with the fan so the BMS points can be re-mapped; the register addresses are not identical to the Ziehl-Abegg map.For other bus protocols, ask LONGWELL engineering for the integration options.

Performance

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 LWBE3G280 is typically specified for Small AHU, compact FFU, edge data center, residential heat pump. Common application categories include:

  • Small AHU
  • FFU compact
  • Edge data center
  • Residential heat pump

Particularly suited for small commercial AHU and edge data center / compact FFU.

FAQ

What should I check before using LONGWELL LWBE3G280 in place of Ziehl-Abegg RH28C?
The impeller diameter is the same. Confirm the mounting hole pattern, inlet ring diameter and shaft height against the dimensioned drawing on the LONGWELL LWBE3G280 model page before ordering; the available control inputs (0–10 V / PWM / Modbus RTU) and voltages are listed in the table above.
Where can I find efficiency data for LWBE3G280?
LONGWELL does not publish a single peak-efficiency figure for the LWBE3G280. The model page on the selection site gives airflow, static pressure and input power along the curve (measured where marked, nameplate-estimated otherwise), so the efficiency at your duty point follows directly; a test report for a specific model is available from engineering on request.
What is the LONGWELL lead time?
LONGWELL LWBE3G280 ships in 15–30 days for orders up to 500 units and 6–10 weeks for 1,000+ unit OEM programs. Sample units ship in 1–3 days from stocked Ø280 mm inventory.
How is LONGWELL pricing determined?
LONGWELL quotes per project. Pricing depends on quantity, voltage, IP rating, and control protocol options.
What applications is LWBE3G280 typically used for?
LWBE3G280 is typically specified for Small AHU, compact FFU, edge data center, residential heat pump. Particularly suited for small commercial AHU and edge data center / compact FFU.
