Fans & Blowers

    Cooling Fans

    Where and when we need to move air for cooling comfort is different for everyone, and no one type of fan will work for every application. From ceiling to misting outdoor fans, wherever you need a refreshing breeze, there’s a model of fan for it.

    Ceiling Fans

    Ceiling fans improve air circulation in a warehouse, office space, retail store, or any other large area. HVLS fans move a high volume of air at low speeds to improve circulation and temperature regulation in vast open spaces.

    Blowers

    Beyond exhausting smoke and providing a cooling breeze, purpose-built fan systems can be used in a variety of industries and applications including carpet dryers, blower motors in HVAC systems, to vent fumes from confined spaces, and more.

    Exhaust Fans

    Exhaust fans are designed to remove smoke, dust, and/or heat from an area and draw fresh air in. Clean, cool air promotes better breathing, improves productivity & morale, and reduces sick days & workers’ comp claims.

    FAQ's

    Should You Use a Fan or a Blower?

    Both assemblies offer key benefits for your facility. Fans are energy-efficient, using less electricity than blowers to move the same amount of air. Blowers, however, provide the advantage of direct airflow and greater power.

    Consider these factors:

    Pressure:

  • If you need a tool that increases air pressure, choose a blower.
  • If you need air pressure to remain the same, choose a fan.
  • Power Source and Availability:

  • If you have more power available, you can choose a blower.
  • If you have less power available, choose a fan.
  • Air Flow Requirements:

  • If you need to direct air in a specific direction, choose a blower.
  • If you need indirect airflow throughout a space, choose a fan.
  • What are the different types of Fans & Blowers?

  • Centrifugal fans: This type of fan changes the direction of airflow and comes in various designs, such as inclined, radial, forward-curved, and backward-curved. They are suitable for high temperatures, low to medium blade tip speeds at high pressures, and are effective for handling highly contaminated airstreams.
  • Axial Fans: In this type of fan, the airflow direction remains unchanged. The designs include Vanaxial, Tubeaxial, and Propeller fans. These fans produce lower pressure than Centrifugal fans. Propeller fans offer high flow rates at low pressures, Tubeaxial fans handle low to medium pressure with high flow, and Vane-axial fans, with guide vanes, provide high pressure with medium flow rates.
  • Types of Blowers: Blowers are classified as Centrifugal and Positive Displacement. Similar to fans, they use various blade designs like backward-curved, forward-curved, and radial. Typically driven by electric motors, blowers can be single or multistage units and use high-speed impellers to generate velocity in air or other gases.

    Positive displacement blowers, similar to PDP pumps, increase pressure by squeezing fluid. They are preferred over centrifugal blowers when high pressure is needed in a process.

    How do I choose a Fan?

    1. Decide on a location for your fan

    2. Choose the right ceiling fan size

    3. Pick a ceiling fan style

    4. Choose whether you want a fan with or without lights

    5. Pick which mount-type works best for your space

    6. Decide how you want to control your fan

    7. Pick the airflow/efficiency you need

    8. Set your budget

    What are the requirements for ventilation in a confined space?

    The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) recommends 20 complete air changes per hour, or one every 3 minutes, for confined spaces. Ventilation requirements vary depending on the material being ventilated. Ensure that the air supply is fresh and uncontaminated by flammables, toxins, or other harmful substances.

    The atmosphere within the space must be periodically tested to ensure that continuous forced air ventilation prevents hazardous conditions. Employees entering the space, or their authorized representatives, should be given the opportunity to observe this testing.

    If a hazardous atmosphere is detected during entry:

  • Each employee must exit the space immediately.
  • The space must be assessed to determine how the hazardous atmosphere developed, and measures must be implemented to protect employees from the hazard before any future entry occurs.
