Table

Key Differentiators

1. ebm-papst W2E250-DB05-52 vs. W2E250-HB38-01 (Same Series, Lower Airflow)

✅ Higher CFM (1060 vs. 850) – Better suited for large cooling demands
✅ Simpler wiring (2-wire vs. 3-wire) – Easier installation
❌ Louder (71 dB vs. 65 dB) – Not ideal for noise-sensitive environments

Best for: Factories needing maximum airflow at 230VAC.

2. ebm-papst W2E250-DB05-52 vs. R2E220-AL43-02 (Smaller, Lower Power)

✅ 46% More Airflow (1060 vs. 920 CFM) – Covers larger areas
✅ Higher Temp Tolerance (50°C vs. 40°C) – Better for hot environments
❌ Higher Power Draw (190W vs. 120W) – Less energy-efficient

Best for: Industrial applications where space allows for a larger fan.

3. ebm-papst W2E250-DB05-52 vs. Ziehl-Abegg 3300

✅ Lower Noise (71 dB vs. 75 dB) – Better for worker comfort
✅ Lower Cost – Competitive pricing vs. premium German brand
❌ Slightly Lower CFM (1060 vs. 1100) – Marginal flow difference

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who value balance between power & noise.

Alternatives Based on Needs

Need Quieter Operation?

➡ W2E250-HB38-01 (65 dB) – Same frame, 20% less airflow but much quieter

Need Higher Static Pressure?

➡ Ziehl-Abegg 3300 – Better for ducted systems requiring pressure build-up

Working in a Smaller Space?

➡ R2E220-AL43-02 – Compact 220mm size with decent airflow

Final Recommendation

The W2E250-DB05-52 is best when:
✔ High airflow (1060 CFM) is the priority
✔ 230VAC operation is required
✔ Noise is secondary to cooling performance

For lower noise or smaller spaces, consider the W2E250-HB38-01 or R2E220-AL43-02.

Conclusion

The ebm-papst W2E250-DB05-52 combines high airflow, industrial durability, and simple installation for demanding cooling applications. Its 230VAC operation makes it ideal for European and industrial power systems, while the ball bearing motor ensures reliable performance in continuous-duty scenarios.
