The Installation of The HVLS Fans for Industrial Factory

The High Volume Low-Speed Industrial HVLS Fans is designed to circulate air in the most efficient and effective way in your installation. Discover the benefits of the installation of this Great industrial Fan.

Definition of HVLS Fans

In the late 1990s, William Fairbank and Walter K. Boyd invented and patented a new type of ceiling fan, first called the Large Volume Large Diameter Fan (HVLS). This type of ceiling fan was originally developed for agricultural spaces, so early research focused on the benefits of HVLS ceiling fans on milk production. These fans are generally very large ceiling fans. They move slowly and distribute large amounts of air at a low rotational speed, hence the name “High Volume, Low-Speed.”

How an HVLS Fan Works

HVLS fans work on the principle that moving air reduces the layer of moisture surrounding the human body and accelerates evaporation to produce a cooling and well-being effect. Ceiling fans produce a movement of air when they rotate. This air movement goes down towards the floor. This is called a horizontal floor jet; this deep wall of horizontally moving air is relative to the fan’s diameter and, to a lesser degree, to the speed of a fan. Once the floor jet reaches its potential, it disperses outward from this air movement until it hits a side wall or other vertical surface (wall or ceiling).

Under ideal conditions, a 2.4 m diameter fan produces a floor jet of air approximately 910 mm wide towards the floor. A 7.3 m diameter fan, on the other hand, produces a floor jet of air 2,700 mm wide, obviously large enough to perfectly create the thermal comfort of a man standing on the floor.

Benefits of HVLS Fan

  • Choice of Motors, Direct Drive, or Reducer: The HVLS fan range includes industrial fans with gearboxes and fans with direct drive motors.
  • Savings With Every Turn: HVLS fans, which operate at only a few cents per hour, save energy costs by allowing you to raise the temperature at the thermostat and maximize comfort levels when it’s hot or warm when it’s cold. You can thus make considerable energy savings by reducing the amount of your heating bills, especially in the case of large installations.
  • Cooling and Comfort: Air movement can have a significant influence on human thermal comfort. Wind in cold conditions is considered harmful, but air movement in neutral or warm environments is considered beneficial. This is because, in conditions where temperatures are above about 23.3°C, the body must lose heat to maintain the internal temperature constant. Unlike air conditioners, which diffuse cold air, HVLS ceiling fans cool people through the movement of air.

HVLS industrial Ceiling fans increase air movement in the environment of the occupants, making it easier for people to reject heat. Strong air movement increases the rate of heat loss by convection and evaporation from the body, making the individual’s body cooler without changing the ambient temperature. The most effective way to mix the air in a stratified space is to push the warm air towards the floor. This allows complete mixing of the air in the space while naturally reducing heat loss through the walls and roof of the building and therefore reducing the energy consumption of the building.
