ABOUT THESE FANS
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.
THE TUBERCLE ADVANTAGE
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%. See Figure 1 and 2.
