Size Matters: When To Use A Huge Industrial Fan

What exactly do these kinds of fans do? Why are they so big? Do you need a huge industrial fan?

 

What Is Considered An Industrial Fan?

Ceiling fans have been around for a long, long time&#;nearly 150 years. They&#;ve become ubiquitous in houses, offices, and shops worldwide. Chances are, you have at least one in your home. 

If you installed a standard ceiling fan in a warehouse, it&#;s unlikely you&#;d notice any improvement in airflow. That&#;s because regular, 3- or 4-foot fans aren&#;t big or powerful enough to create airflow beyond an area of about 200 or 300 square feet (about the size of a typical bedroom). 

In industrial facilities such as warehouses (which average 50,000 square feet or more), a regular ceiling fan isn&#;t going to make any noticeable difference. They&#;re decorative, at best.

Then about 20 or so years ago, some smart engineers started experimenting with a new kind of ceiling fan for larger spaces. These fans had more powerful motors, more durable parts and materials, and were bigger&#;MUCH bigger&#;than their domestic counterparts. Called HVLS (high-volume, low-speed) fans, these heavy-duty machines were created specifically for industrial settings where the conditions could be harsh and the demands on their performance often extreme. 

Just how big are huge industrial fans? Most range in size from 8 to 24 feet (2.4 to 7.3 meters) in diameter, and Big Ass Fans offers the largest industrial ceiling fan on the market: 30 feet (9.1 meters) in diameter. That&#;s as wide as a regulation volleyball net or the length of a school bus. 

 

When Should You Use A Huge Industrial Fan

  • If you have a warehouse, factory, or other industrial facility that&#;s 10,000 square feet or larger, you should use a huge industrial fan.

What Type of Warehouse Fan is Right for Me?

Drum Fans

Also known as barrel fans, the drum fan provides excellent temperature control especially for huge warehouse areas. They usually come in belt-driven or direct models and use less power. Not only that, drum fans also cut down on noise pollution.

Regarding size, these fans are available in a wide range of sizes. A standard drum fan features a model with around 24&#; diameter. But you will find larger models that can be as big as fans with 42&#; diameter.

Some models carry a handy stand so that you can place them firmly on ground. Otherwise, you will also get barrel fans, mostly larger ones, with wheels for easy maneuvering across your warehouse facility. Some barrel fans allow tilting for direct flow of air to preferred spots.

You will find barrel fans in various speed options, ranging from 2-3 speed variations.
