QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT
HAVE ABOUT BIG FANS.... |
|
What's the big deal
about these big fans? |
It took ten years for the inventor, Walter Boyd, to
create these High Volume, Low Speed Fans. The blade design
helps to produce a tremendous amount of airflow for a very
small amount of electricity usage....as low as 4-7
amps per fan! The fans are in demand in a number
of industries for a green solution, offering you the
option of turning off the HVAC on many days of the
year, or heaters in the winter. In summer, runs the
fans in reverse to pull the cooler air off the floor
and up.....because you cannot expect to blow warm
air down on people at high speeds to cool
them....it'll just dry them out and make them
uncomfortable. In winter, use the fans to draw the
warm air off the ceiling in the morning and
distribute that warmth to working areas right away,
instead of using the heaters! Even using the fans in
reverse, you should be able to drop your temperature
inside from outside up to 15 degrees!
Wait a second....that's what an air conditioner is
supposed to do!
|
|
So how many cfm's
can I expect? |
Up to 376000 cfm per fan! If your location is
outfitted with the right number of fans for the
square footage, you will swear that the air
conditioning is on when you walk into the facility!
So much air, we expect the normal range to
de-stratify the air top to bottom, maintain a good
temp, we expect you will turn it to about 3 or 4 out
of 10 to maintain.
|
|
That sounds like a
lot of air, will I
need all of those cfm's? |
Chances are you will never turn them all the way up
as the fans will blow everything out the door! We
are not aware of anyone who has ever turned them all
the way up, save maybe a facility looking to dry the
floors quickly. Our cfm is rated the right way, so
you get what is expected!
|
|
I see the fans are
available in
forward or reverse, why is that?

Remote Switch has
REV / OFF / FWD setting
and 1-10 speed control |
Probably the most important
feature, the reversing feature allows you
choices of how to blow the air as you wish, depending
on time of day or season. Buying a one direction fan
is automatically limiting in its abilities. Ask any
HVAC or heater salesperson which is better, and they
will always tell you that you need the choice of
blowing the air up and down. Why limit yourself with
only one direction? We represent the original
inventor, and he wouldn't have it any other way!
We sell the RIGHT fans, with the right features,
with more included in the fan price!
|
|
Are the big fans good
for
manufacturing facilities? |
Most definitely, as well as for retail stores,
kitchen cabinet or door and window manufacturing
facilities, truss plants, non-cooled warehouses, metal and rack supported
buildings, line sheds, distribution centers,
showrooms, gymnasiums, riding arenas, dairy farms,
backrooms and
more! And talk about a conversation piece! We even
have colored blades available to match school
colors, theme graphics and to meet your imagination!
|
|
What comes with the
big fans? |
A bunch of stuff.....mounting brackets (I beam or
Glue Lam, your choice), pivot bracket to mount the
fan on a slope and still allow the fan to be plumb,
guy wires (15' x 4), remote switch, input filter (to
help prevent the variable frequency drive from ever
disturbing anything like sensormatic security
equipment, cash registers, computers, etc..... and even most of the
wiring you will need to hook it up! We sell it
right!
|
|
What else is
available? |
Colored blades, extension tubes to drop the fan from a
high ceiling, more wiring if needed, fantastic
installation instructions, custom mounting brackets, toll-free installation
assistance, and tell us more we can do for you!
|
|
What voltage is
available? |
Your choice of 120V, 240V or 480V, single and three
phase motors, all priced the same! The 240V three
phase motors use the least amount of electricity.
|
|
What wiring is used
to wire the fans? |
The fans require stranded copper,
known as THHN wire, to wire the fans. You cannot use
any solid core copper or romex house wire at all.
Motors and Variable Frequency Drives require
stranded copper wire to pull in that electrical
field or voltage right into the inside of the
wire core where it belongs.
|
|
So about the
main components... |
The fans are a 6 blade type shown in the
pictures above. We started with the ten blade fans
we show above also, but they have been cleared out.
By going with wider blades and fewer blades, we
achieved the same cfm's, and took some cost out of
the fan and offer these at great pricing as a result.
The Motor Control Panel (or
controller box) and two-knob Remote Switch included are shown
below.
|
|
You mentioned
wiring? |
Surprisingly, we found licensed
electricians who don't follow instructions. As a
result, we made a proactive move to include 2 out of
the 3 legs of wiring with the fans to take away the
guesswork. First, you get shielded cable like this
to run from the controller box to fan (25'), and
controller box to Remote Switch (100') too.
Included in fan price. You can add more wiring to
the remote switch leg if you wish, up to 500' total.
Shielded cable eliminates the need for metal
conduit, as there is a foil wrapping around the
inside insulated stranded copper wires, which helps
to ground any short which might occur from a power
surge such as the conduit would normally do.
It is tremendously important to note the Motor
Control Panel (controller box) is to be mounted on
the ceiling, outside of the blades, and within no
more than 25' of the motor. This does a number of
things...like reducing any harmonics present,
maintaining the silent feature of the fan,
controlling voltage stray outside of the wiring
used, protecting the motor leads, and therefore
lengthening the lifespan of the motor even more. No
maintenance is needed for this control panel. Just
use the Remote Switch (two-knob box shown below) to
control the speed of the fan, and direction (forward
or reverse). Line reactors are available for dirty
electricity areas or areas out of the country.
This leaves the wiring from main panel to controller
box as the only wiring you need to make available
(THHN wire), because we are not sure how much you
will need. And remember, all wires for various fans
are separate circuits, should you order multiple
fans. There is also an added benefit to this so you
can control each "zone" or area of your store or
warehouse separately for efficiency and more
savings!

|
Can you offer
installation?
Is installation difficult? |
Of course! We can get a quote to you
anytime, wherever you are! Very easily installed,
the fans go up in just a few hours.
|
|
What else can you
mention that allows me more value? |
The fans are only about $50-$100 difference between each
size (2' increments in diameter), so, the bigger the
better value! Use the largest you can for
the most cfm's and choices!
|
|
How quickly can
the big fans ship? |
When you want them to!
|
|
Can you send me a
recommended
fan layout and quote? |
Of course! Just call us with details or send us your overhead plan
using email above in pdf or autocad dwg file.
Please note obstacles if any, rack and machine heights
and locations, ceiling heights, doors, windows, roof
vent locations, etc., and we'll be glad to offer a
professional review and recommendation!
|
|
I see you have a
6 foot wall, ceiling or
pole mount fan too? |
Yes, we have a 6 foot diameter
caged fan known to throw air out 100 feet, in a
path 20 feet wide!. Great for cash register areas,
manufacturing facilities with concentrated worker
areas, and more!
People specifically looking for a roll-around floor fan
will find this fan is better since it is mounted
higher. The wall/ceiling/pole mount fans are much
more effective than fans mounted on casters since
they are above both obstacles and random airflows
coming in from open doors which affects caster mounted fans' airflow design and
effectiveness.
|
|
Do the fans really
provide
so much air? |
The last customer installed sent a note back.....
".....I am shocked at how well these work....and how
much air they put out!"
So much, you too will be blown away!

CALL ANYTIME WITH QUESTIONS.......AND MANY THANKS, IN ADVANCE,
