RAQ118 Supply Fan Motor Specification and Identification
Identifying Ziehl-Abegg and EBM-Papst fan assemblies by production year and serial number
Applicable unit: RAQ/K/WP/EC 118
Two production batches of the RAQ118 were manufactured with different supply fan brands. The fan assemblies are not mechanically or electrically interchangeable, so the unit serial number must be checked before ordering replacement parts.
Important: Do not order a fan using the unit model alone. Confirm the manufacturing year from the serial number and use the matching spare-parts list and fan part number.
1. Production overview
| Batch | Production year | Quantity | Supply fan | Reference spare-parts list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 2022 | 17 units | Ziehl-Abegg (ZA) | GINDA-SP-08-22-064 |
| Second | 2023 | 22 units | EBM-Papst (EBM) | GINDA-SP-09-23-024 |
2. Serial number identification
The first two numerical digits after the RAQ prefix identify the manufacturing year.
| Serial number example | Year code | Fan fitted |
|---|---|---|
| RAQ2209008 | 22 = 2022 | Ziehl-Abegg |
| RAQ2302002 / RAQ2307011 | 23 = 2023 | EBM-Papst |
2022 example - year code 22
2023 example - year code 23
3. Fan motor comparison
| Parameter | Ziehl-Abegg (2022) | EBM-Papst (2023) |
|---|---|---|
| Part-number prefix | M017- | 000.16. |
| Example part number | M017-A1000-0021 | 000.16.007 |
| Mounting arrangement | Ziehl-Abegg mounting footprint and support arrangement | EBM-Papst mounting footprint and integrated assembly |
| Electrical connection | Brand-specific motor and speed-control connection | Brand-specific motor and integrated-control connection |
| Interchangeable | No - the two fan types have different mechanical and electrical requirements. | |
Reference mounting comparison - verify the actual fan and mounting arrangement before installation.
4. Spare-parts references
The source spare-parts lists identify the 2022 evaporator EC fan as M017-A1000-0021 and the 2023 evaporator EC fan as 000.16.007. Always validate the serial number and current parts record before placing an order.
2022 spare-parts reference - Ziehl-Abegg fan
2023 spare-parts reference - EBM-Papst fan
5. Ordering and replacement checklist
| 1 | Record the complete unit model and serial number from the rating label. |
| 2 | Identify the manufacturing year from the first two digits after the RAQ prefix. |
| 3 | Use GINDA-SP-08-22-064 for 2022 units or GINDA-SP-09-23-024 for 2023 units. |
| 4 | Confirm the fan manufacturer, part number, mounting footprint, connector arrangement and rotation direction. |
| 5 | Do not substitute the alternate brand unless a formally approved conversion kit and technical instruction are available. |
| 6 | After replacement, verify secure mounting, correct wiring, fan rotation, airflow and normal controller operation. |
6. Quick reference
