P . 07 Hunter Industrial Fans THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOME CEILING FAN AND AN HVLS FAN HOUSE FACILITY WHY FACILITIES NEED HVLS FANS DESTRATIFICATION: A PRIMER Fan’s designed for destratification to reduce hot and cold spots through the mixing of air in large industrial and commercial spaces, resulting in significantly reduced energy cost and increased comfort. Over time, a continuous mixing of air will promote a more uniform temperature profile from floor to ceiling. 72º 55º 85º Excess moisture and humidity can rust metal products and ruin corrugated cardboard boxes. Increased airflow is key to controlling condensation and corrosion, The air movement produced by an HVLS fan can keep pondensation from setting on the floor or product. Moisture Control P . 08 Hunter Industrial Fans VENTILATION Increasing ventilation rates and air distribution can often be a cost-effective means of reducing indoor pollutant levels and providing relief. HVAC systems should be designed to meet ventilation standards in local building codes, but many don’t. Fortunately, HVLS fans can dramatically increase their effective- ness. For example, by minimizing ceiling-to-floor temperature differentials and increasing the surface evaporation rate, they help to reduce or eliminate slab sweating. For sick building syndrome, the increased air movement HVLS fans provide helps dissipate humidity and disperse concentrations of airborne contaminants, such as chemical fumes, pollens, bioaerosols, or other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although high-speed ceiling of floor fans can also help increase air movement, HVLS fans move larger volumes of air while using less energy than high-speed fans and produce a less disruptive wind speed. In addition, having multiple floor fans can increase clutter and the chance of mishaps involving equipment and electrical cords. HVHS (High Volume, High Speed) fans can be used to complement HVLS fans in smaller areas or areas where direct “blasts“ of air are needed for short periods of time.
