Air Circulation Fans

It's not only people that appreciate the movement of air. Many plants, livestock and processes also rely on air movement. Whist we may appreciate the economic sense in destratifying air to lower heating bills, we may not realise that traditional destratification fans are not always the best way to move air uniformally about in a room. Air circulation fans which are used for generally moving air around in a space come in many guises and we have covered basket fans and oscillating wall mounted fans in previous blogs. In this blog we will look at air circulation fans of a type otherwise known as V Flo fans and their ideal application in green houses, poultry sheds and drying processes. vflow-underside V Flo air circulation fans have a conical-shaped deflector which is Ideal for creating a coanda air flow that makes a uniform air circulation pattern Introducing V Flo Air Circulation Fans There are plenty of air circulation fans available, some fixed and some that oscillate, however there is only one fan that is fixed and designed specifically for large open buildings with relatively low roofs and that is the V Flo. Although it is a normal axial fan pulling air vertically upwards, what makes this air circulation fan unique is the shallow conical defector. The effect of this is to turn the discharged air and to spread it out horizontally so that a coander air flow pattern is established in the building. Like all fans their effectiveness depends upon their size and airflow and they can only be effective over a limited area. For larger buildings several V Flo air circulation fans may need to be used. The Advantages of V Flo Air Circulation Fans The principle advantage that comes with V Flo air circulation fans is increased productivity because uniform air movement within a building ensures that there is an air current, even in the corners and at floor level, that prevents damp static air pockets that can harbour disease, and prevent drying.
