Tri-Lite HVLS fans blanket a very large area by constantly moving air to
create an expansive comfort zone. As a result, the big ceiling fan can
create an evaporative cooling effect of three to four degrees Celsius
throughout the facility.
During the heating season, the Tri-Lite HVLS fan technology can
de-stratify uneven temperatures that can be in excess of fifteen
degrees Celsius from ceiling to floor. This results in significant energy
savings since heating system cycles less frequently.
Tubercle Technology™ blades outperform all conventional airfoils.
They accomplish this by:
• Offering stall angles as high as 22°. Airfoil blades without whale technology stall at 8 degrees so whale power allows for much more air
movement with fewer blades.
• Eliminating span-wise pumping; the primary cause of efficiency loss in all rotating systems.
• Eliminating tip stalling; the primary cause of blade noise and damaging vibration.
• Lowering noise by offering Tubercle Technology’s™ hyper-stability which also lowers vibrations which cause wear and tear on the blades
and drive train.
THE BENEFITS OF TRI-LITE HVLS FANS
• Quiet speed and efficient operation, no annoying high speed circulating and exhaust fans.
• Virtually maintenance free (recommended inspection every 20,000 hours).
• Inexpensive to operate.
• Greatly reduces "recovery" time when overhead doors are open with a constant air flow throughout the space.
• Provides a constant, even temperature from floor to ceiling and wall to wall.
• Will minimize the need for expensive duct work in new construction for both heating and air conditioning systems.
• A comfortable workplace environment increases productivity and decreases absenteeism.
HVLS fans provide many benefits for many applications, such as:
For hot months where air conditioning is not available, or not affordable, a HVLS fan moves the air above the minimum speeds that break
•
up the moisture saturated layer surrounding the human body. The evaporation happens faster, which provides a cooling effect often referred
to as “windchill”. This creates a comfortable workplace and increases productivity.
For large sparsely populated warehouses, or open and un-insulated buildings where air conditioning would be wasteful and pointless
•
For instances where fumes and smoke are produced from welding, forging, painting, etc. and the continuous ventilation of the HVLS dilutes
•
the air.
For renovations where moving duct work is not feasible, or in new installs where ductwork would be expensive and time-consuming, a HVLS
•
can be installed to compensate.
The HVLS is quiet and operates efficiently, no annoying high speed circulating or exhaust fans that sometimes direct too much air in a small
•
area.
The HVLS is virtually maintenance free! (recommended inspection every 20,000 hours).
•
The HVLS is inexpensive to operate(0.75 kW Gear Motor).
•
The HVLS greatly reduces “recovery” time when overhead doors are open, working like an air curtain, the inside air is kept inside, and the
•
outside air is blocked with a constant airflow throughout the space.
For heated buildings where a large amount of heat is trapped at the ceiling. HVLS fans destratify the air by continually circulating the warm
•
air from the ceiling back to the floor along the outside wall without creating a windchill by operating in reverse and reducing heating costs
by up to 30%.
