Achieving Comfort in Outdoor Spaces

Correctly choosing the motor type for a large-diameter ceiling fan (LDCF) will determine how efficient the fan uses energy, and how well airflow is distributed. The motor technology is also the most costly aspect of a fan, so the stakes are high. Your primary considerations are reliability, cost, and energy efficiency. The two main types of LDCF motors are “direct-drive” and “gear-driven.” This article discusses the similarities between both types, and then highlights how their differences affect each of the factors above.

Even though the world is seemingly becoming more complex, making the right decision about effectively and efficiently moving large amounts of air in your warehouse, distribution center, or industrial facility doesn’t have to.

We’ve spent countless hours engineering our HVLS fans before putting them out on the market. We spent a lot of time on research & development to ensure we put the best designed fan possible into the market. We could easily sit back and just focus on selling now, but we’re not that kind of company.

Each EPIC HVLS fan is the result of careful engineering.  And the inspiration for such well thought out engineering comes from a variety of sources.

If you’re looking to move a lot of air in your space, you could easily run out to any big-box retailer and pick up a fan. But there are fans that you can’t buy in the average retail store that may be much better suited to your needs.

Destratification sounds like a complex topic, but it’s not really.  What is significant though, are its potential impacts.

Humidity. UGH! That high level of moisture in the air makes people sweaty and uncomfortable, especially combined with high temperatures. But humidity can cause more serious problems, too.

When you run a ceiling fan, you feel a breeze coming straight down onto your head and the top of your arms, and you feel cooler, right? But step away just a few feet, and suddenly you’re back in stifling hot air.

Proper installation of any mechanical equipment is vital, and the right planning beforehand can help ensure a smooth and successful installation process. HVLS fans are no different.

When you’re planning to use HVLS fans to improve airflow in your facility, there are a number of factors you’ll want to consider to help you determine the best way to go for your space.
