Frequently Asked Questions
What is Delta Electronics BFB1012VH?
BFB1012VH is a Delta Electronics 12 VDC brushless centrifugal blower designation. The manufacturer documents a BFB1012VH-A configuration with a 97.2 x 94.4 x 33 mm housing, 4500 RPM reference speed and 37.97 CFM airflow.
Is BFB1012VH an axial fan or a centrifugal blower?
It is a centrifugal blower with a side-discharge outlet, designed to direct cooling air through a suitable equipment air path.
What supply voltage does BFB1012VH require?
The Delta BFB1012VH-A series documentation specifies 12 VDC rated voltage and a 7.0–13.2 VDC operating range. Confirm the actual assembly's full marking for revision-specific requirements.
What are the physical dimensions?
The manufacturer BFB1012VH-A series drawing lists 97.2 x 94.4 x 33 mm, with two approximately 4.5 mm mounting holes spaced 32 mm apart. Confirm the outlet shape and installation clearance.
Why do some listings show 1.50 A and others 1.80 A?
Delta's BFB1012VH-A series table specifies 1.50 A rated current. The BFB1012VH-AF00 approval specification identifies 1.50 A input current and 1.80 A maximum. Some seller descriptions show 1.80 A without clearly distinguishing the maximum label current.
What is the electrical power rating?
The Delta manufacturer series lists 18.00 W for BFB1012VH-A, while the BFB1012VH-AF00 approval specification lists a maximum of 21.60 W. These should be distinguished when sizing the power supply.
What is the published fan speed?
The manufacturer BFB1012VH-A series table specifies 4500 RPM. The same reference speed appears in the complete BFB1012VH-AF00 approval specification.
What is the maximum airflow?
The manufacturer lists 37.97 CFM (1.075 m³/min) maximum free-air flow for BFB1012VH-A. Actual airflow in equipment depends on the system resistance.
What is the maximum static pressure?
The published maximum static pressure is 1.952 inH₂O (49.58 mmH₂O). It is measured at zero airflow and does not occur simultaneously with maximum free-air flow.
What noise and bearing specifications are published?
Delta lists 60.0 dB(A) typical acoustical noise and ball bearings for the documented BFB1012VH-A series. The BFB1012VH-AF00 approval specification lists 64.0 dB(A) maximum.
Does BFB1012VH have two or three wires?
The documented BFB1012VH-A version has two power leads. BFB1012VH-AF00 has three leads with a speed-feedback function, and the Delta series catalog also identifies an -R00 locked-rotor signal option. Verify the full suffix and connector before installation.
What should be checked before ordering Delta BFB1012VH?
Verify the complete BFB1012VH marking and revision, 12 VDC supply, rated and maximum current, 97.2 x 94.4 x 33 mm housing, mounting-hole positions, side-outlet geometry, 4500 RPM reference speed, 37.97 CFM airflow requirement, connector type and any monitoring-signal functions.
