High Velocity Low Speed (HVLS) Industrial Fans
Working in warehouse conditions can often be challenging due to extreme temperatures. Many warehouses still rely on standard industrial fans that struggle to handle severe climate variations. Investing in an energy-efficient high velocity low speed (HVLS) industrial fan can bring a significant improvement, offering better air circulation, comfortable work environment, and controlled floor condensation and corrosion caused by moisture.
Moisture Control
Excessive moisture during hot or cold weather can lead to product damage, such as weakened packaging, metal corrosion, rust, and spoiled perishables. It can also create safety hazards for employees, like slippery floors and the growth of mold and bacteria in the work environment. HVLS industrial fans provide enhanced air circulation that helps mitigate these moisture-related challenges, protecting both products and employee safety.
Summer Cooling
HVLS industrial fans enhance comfort and reduce energy consumption by moving air at a lower speed, providing continuous airflow throughout large areas. Their long, angled blades draw air up and push it down, increasing wind chill and creating a perceived temperature drop of up to 5 degrees. This cooling effect allows for higher thermostat settings, saving energy.
HVLS fans are an effective alternative for cooling spaces where air conditioning is impractical or undesirable, making them a valuable addition to maintaining comfort and energy efficiency in large facilities.
Winter Heating
HVLS industrial fans enhance warehouse conditions during colder months by addressing uneven floor-to-ceiling temperatures. Warm air from heating systems and machinery naturally rises, making it challenging to maintain consistent heat distribution. By installing HVLS fans, the warm air is circulated downward and mixed with cooler air to create even heat distribution throughout the warehouse, a process known as destratification. This helps eliminate hot and cold spots and improves overall heating efficiency.
An HVLS industrial fan can significantly impact productivity by maintaining a well-regulated temperature, whether heating or cooling is needed. A comfortable work environment helps employees stay more efficient and productive. Increased productivity combined with reduced energy costs results in an excellent return on investment.
