Industrial Fans: Uses and Applications Whether you work in an office, retail store, warehouse, or other type of commercial space, your company’s profitability can benefit from the purchase and use of industrial fans. Fans can be used to improve ventilation and air quality, reduce energy costs, and increase worker productivity among many other potential benefits. To ensure that you choose the right fan for your needs, it’s important to understand how each type of fan works as well as what purposes they can be used for at your company. Industrial Fans Explained Industrial fans are mechanical devices that blow air. They are often used in industrial settings to circulate heat, or move liquids or powders around a facility. These include massive ceiling-mounted contraptions that create airflow in large warehouses, but most industrial fan applications are somewhat smaller. If you’re designing an industrial fan application, there are several factors to consider. First off, you need to figure out what kind of power will be required for your application; you can do so by looking at various data sheets for various models of industrial fan on your list. Second, you should look into other factors that could impact your design—for example how much noise and vibration will occur from using a specific type of motor? Finally, think about whether an explosion-proof motor is required for safety purposes. Benefits Of Industrial Fans Chemical Processing Chemical plants, refineries, and other industrial facilities often rely on high-power industrial fans to ensure safe operation. Safety regulations mandate that such facilities keep their buildings well ventilated; otherwise, toxic gases may build up to dangerous levels. One fan placed in a building can push out upwards of 10 tons of air per minute. At typical commercial voltage (208/240 VAC), a large fan like one used in a chemical plant consumes about 4 kW (or kilowatts) of energy every hour; at typical residential voltage (120 VAC), it uses around 5 kW per hour—and these numbers don't include any energy used by auxiliary equipment like air filters or heaters that might be required as part of safety precautions. Material Handling In industrial facilities, material handling is a common application for industrial fans. In order to get products from one part of a factory to another, large industrial spaces must be kept at a comfortable temperature. By providing ventilation in these large facilities, industrial fans keep workers cool while preventing too much heat from building up in any given area, and this keeps product at a suitable temperature so that production can continue effectively throughout a day or night shift. Since industrial fan applications typically need to provide ventilation over long distances, commercial ones are often used for these types of jobs. Industrial Fans can be placed on ceilings, hung from beams or even
mounted on walls depending on their particular installation requirements. In some cases, multiple commercial fans will need to be installed to reach all corners of an industrial facility. Cooling And Drying If you live in a hot climate, one of the best uses for industrial fans is to cool your business. Most industrial fan models will allow you to circulate air throughout multiple rooms or floors of your business. The air conditioner is perfect for areas where workers need to concentrate or need a cooler temperature than others, such as offices and medical facilities. Commercial cooling fans can also be used to create an artificial airflow on streets and sidewalks outside your business, helping keep people cool on hot days and dry out wet surfaces from rain or snow.
