In most industrial and commercial buildings the heaters are mounted overhead so as to not interfere with working space. Unfortunately this results in a heat gradient differential (heat stratification) of 10° – 35° F from the floor to the ceiling.
HVLS commercial fans from MacroAir Technologies can produce a more pleasant environment and substantially cut operating costs.
- Vastly more effective and energy efficient than the high-speed fans typically used to get warm air down from high mounted heaters.
- Virtually eliminates the pool of overheated air above the heaters, reducing heat loss through roof vents and skylights.
- Minimizes the amount of warm air that has to be continuously replaced with cold outside air to achieve adequate ventilation.
- Mixes air to eliminate hot and cold spots on the floor, and overall stratification – important in buildings where people are working at different elevations.
- Quiet and non-irritating – no annoying high-speed air jets.
- In new construction, the cost of MacroAir HVLS commercial fans may be completely offset by elimination of expensive ducting.
