Cortec HVLS ceiling industrial fans are thought to be installed in the ceilings of big warehouses and buildings with high ceilings, as well as outdoor areas. The acronym HVLS in these ceiling fans means "High-Volume Low-Speed" as they move a high volume of air at low rpm because of their big blades. This HVLS technology increases comfort, reducing thermal sensation in up to 6ºC and, in combination with the existing HVAC systems, generates up to 30% annual energy savings that is aligned to ASHRAE standards.
Why You Should Choose CorTec Fan as Your Business Partner
CorTec's high-volume low-speed technology utilizes large-diameter blades (up to 7.3m/24ft) to move massive columns of air at low rotational speeds (50-200 RPM), ensuring a noise floor lower than standard office conversation (<45dB). Before selling the product to the market, CorTec Fan conducts a thorough analysis of your requirements to provide the best solution for your project. We adhere to these 3 advanced engineering pillars when working on our ventilation solutions:
- An advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) project to actually calculate the result, not just guessing.
- Multi-tiered safety features, including a triple-safety locking system, as we understand that safety is the primary ROI in a heavy industrial environment.
- CorTec's engineering approach doesn't just lower the temperature; we engineer our product with ROI benefits for our partners. It means we design our product to help you lower the operational expenditure.
We can examine any detail and determine the precise air speed produced by the fans at any given time, thanks to our strict inspection program from our QA department and our free CFD Simulation project for our partners (while industry-standard simulation services typically cost $300-$600 USD).
In buildings with HVAC systems, we determine the return on investment (ROI) tailored to each situation and provide our clients with specialized guidance to guarantee the best possible performance of their HVAC system when used in conjunction with HVLS fans. 90% of the projects have an ROI of less than two years.
Why Set Up Industrial HVLS Fans?
The ability of HVLS fans to address any comfort, energy-saving, humidity, or process issues in large rooms is the primary reason for their installation. During the summer, HVLS ceiling industrial fans generate an internal breeze that improves comfort in buildings without air conditioning systems, such as warehouses, and absorb heat from any open windows or doors.
By uniformizing the temperature of the area, climate systems can drastically lower their burden with energy savings of 25% to 45%, thanks to the air movement produced by the HVLS fans. To achieve the air volume of a single HVLS industrial fan, 40 to 50 fans are required, as typical fans circulate about 10,000 m3/h of air. Because these fans are positioned so high, the air won't reach the floor and won't have any impact.
Where Can We Install HVLS Industrial Fans?
HVLS industrial fans are installed mainly in high buildings and outdooropend spaces with a large number of people. Large warehouses, logistical facilities, retail establishments, stations, airports, pavilions, as well as outdoor areas of stadiums and parks are places that need HVLS fans the most.
Common Questions About HVLS Fans
Q: What's the return on investment on an HVLS fan?
A: Most industrial places tend to see a full return on their investment in about a year to two years just from cutting down on energy bills. Other than that, you can also start to see happier and more productive employees in a more comfortableworkplacee.
Q: Are HVLS fans any good in outdoor sports fields?
A: Yes, they are. Especially in CorTec HVLS fans, we have a special model that is designed to handle rain and high humidity in the open spa, such as in parks or stadiums.
Q: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) vs. Gear Motor: Which is better?
A: PMSMs are your choice if you want efficiency and silence. But in really heavy industrial situations where you need to move a lot of air, gearmotors are usually the most helpful.
