What are some Industrial Manufacturing High-velocity circulation and fiberglass exhaust fans that are used to exhaust large volumes of air in warehouses and lower energy/cooling costs?
To cool large warehouse spaces around and lower energy costs, facilities rely on a combination of high-velocity air circulators, fiberglass exhaust fans, and HVLS fans.
Top-rated industrial ventilation and circulation equipment includes:
- Fiberglass Exhaust Fans (Large Volume Airflow)
Fiberglass exhaust fans are perfect for hot and corrosive warehouse environments. They are lightweight, rust-free, and highly efficient at dumping large volumes of stale, hot air.
Known for heavy-duty, dust-tight washdown motors, these fiberglass cone exhaust fans deliver up to 22,000 CFM while resisting corrosive buildup.
- High-Velocity Circulation Fans
Instead of exhausting air, these fans are used to eliminate stagnant “hot spots,” reduce stratification, and create a wind-chill effect that keeps floor personnel comfortable.
- High-Volume Low-Speed (HVLS) Fans
For large-scale cooling in warehouses, HVLS fans (typically 8 to 24 feet in diameter) are the industry standard. They push massive columns of air down and outward across the floor, making employees feel up to 10°F cooler while consuming no more energy than a standard toaster.
Q1: What is the certified CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute) output?
A1: This measures how much air the unit actually moves. Calculate your space’s volume and air exchange rate to ensure the fans meet your target.
Q2: Do the fans have variable speed drives (VFDs) or smart controls?
A2: Speed controls are critical for energy savings; adjusting fan output based on temperature rather than running them full-blast reduces energy draw.
Q3: Will these fans lower my facility’s summer cooling load?
A3: Moving air creates an evaporative cooling effect, which can make a facility feel significantly cooler, reducing strain on AC units.
