Advantages Of Upgrading To An Industrial Fan

  • Energy Costs. Ensure consistent temperatures and eliminate uneven hot or cold spots. Stop unnecessary adjustments to the thermostat that increase heating and cooling expenses.
  • Employee Productivity. A well heated or cooled warehouse allows for employees to be more productive. This may be especially noticeable during times of extreme heat which can have a physical effect on an employee such as exhaustion, cramps or heat stroke.
  • Airbourne Pollutants. Turning over the air, the HVLS industrial fan also moves stagnant air and decreases airborne pollutants.
  • Moisture Control. Excessive moisture can lead to product damage, including the breakdown of packaging, metal corrosion and rust or spoiled perishables. Employees can be physically affected by slippery floors or growth of mold and bacteria in the work area.

HVLS Industrial Fan Placement

Choosing the correct number, size, and placement of warehouse industrial fans is essential for effective airflow and temperature balance. Proper fan placement helps improve air circulation, reduce energy costs, and create a more comfortable environment for employees.

  • Use the measurements of your warehouse to invest in the largest fan your area can handle
  • Allow ample space between the HVLS industrial fan and interior structures such as sprinklers, lighting, etc.
  • Make a clear path for airflow to efficiently circulate air to and from the industrial fan, watching for pallet racking and other obstacles that will negatively affect airflow
  • For warehouses with open doorways and loading docks, pair the industrial fan other options that benefit air flow, such as a bug screen
