Fast Equipment Industrial Fans

HVLS (high-volume, low-speed) fans are a lightweight, powerful, direct-drive option to move air around a commercial/industrial space. They typically measure anywhere between 8 ft – 24 ft in diameter and create unnoticeable airstreams. They are a highly effective option that helps keep large facility spaces at an ambient temperature. This highly popular option moves large quantities of air at minimal cost.

High-volume, high-speed fans are portable options that can effectively help lower internal facility temperatures. While their use isn’t as widespread as HVLS fans, a combination of both can often provide the best airflow results. HVHS fans are also a great option for areas that won’t house a larger HVLS model, as they can sit on the floor, be mounted on a wall, or fit into other snug locations.

These use a precise mechanism that moves columns of air from ceiling to floor, mixing warmer and colder pockets to create an even temperature throughout the facility. They’re small—typically <2ft in diameter—and enclosed in a barrel-shaped structure. As well as providing a consistent temperature throughout a facility, they can also be angled to provide spot cooling in a specified area.

Industrial fans require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. A regular maintenance program to assess function, clean, lubricate, and replace any necessary parts is crucial for reliable, year-round function. Because many fans, and HVLS in particular, are sited high in a facility’s rafters, taking advantage of a specialist maintenance service is often the safest and most economical way to do this.
