Powerfoil X2.0 Plus
®
The Powerfoil Plus winglet creates a jet of air that flows outward at a 45° angle, passing over floor obstructions and delivering
airflow in a much broader pattern. When planning fan placement, consider the Powerfoil X 2.0 Plus fan's larger coverage area. Note:
Powerfoil Plus winglets are optional and may not be included in your fan order.
Tips
Below are some techniques that can make a dramatic difference in congested areas of your facility. Treat air like water, and scoop,
direct, and channel it to where it is needed most. Note: Powerfoil X 2.0 Plus fans deliver air from a much higher angle, resolving many of
the issues outlined below.
• Make sure people are not hidden behind structures that would block airflow. This may seem obvious, but work areas are routinely
blocked by shelving, crates, and machinery.
• Position large obstructions so that their smallest profiles are perpendicular to the direction of air movement. For example, a sheet
metal press brake might have five times the frontal area if it is facing the airflow rather than if it is turned sideways.
• Wherever possible, position welding curtains, partitions, sheet materials, etc., to scoop air into the work area rather than deflect it.
• Take advantage of the air moving near the floor by creating ground level openings in your work area. It is better to have a work area
blocked by materials stacked to the ceiling with an opening below than to have low stacks 3 ft (0.9 m) to 6 ft (1.8 m) high sitting on
the floor.
