Part 2 of four-part series: Fan System Effects Abrupt changes in duct cross-sectional area are a frequent cause of fan system effects. When air is forced to expand or contract too quickly near a fan inlet or outlet, the flow separates, becomes turbulent, and no longer matches the smooth conditions assumed by the fan performance
Fan System Effects: What and How
Part 1 of four-part series: Fan System Effects Fan system effects are performance losses caused by poor airflow conditions at or near a fan’s inlet or outlet, such as swirl, turbulence, abrupt transitions, fittings too close to the fan, or other obstructions in the ductwork. For engineers, contractors, and specifiers, the practical issue is simple:
Cost Justification For Industrial Fans
Part 3 of three-part series: Industrial vs Commercial Fans At first glance, the upfront cost of industrial fans can seem significantly higher than that of standard commercial options. This initial investment often reflects the use of heavier-duty materials, advanced engineering, and the ability to perform reliably in demanding environments. However, focusing solely on purchase price
Why Industrial Fans are the Superior Choice
Part 2 of three-part series: Industrial vs Commercial Fans In environments where airflow isn’t just a convenience but a critical part of operations, the choice of ventilation equipment matters. From manufacturing plants and warehouses to processing facilities, the demands placed on air movement systems go far beyond what standard solutions can handle. Industrial fans are
Understanding the Differences Between Commercial and Industrial Fans
Part 1 of three-part series: Industrial vs Commercial Fans When it comes to selecting the right ventilation system for specific applications, engineers, specifiers, and contractors often find themselves weighing the benefits of commercial fans against industrial fans. While both types of fans serve the primary function of moving air, their designs, capabilities, and applications differ

EC Fan Array
An EC Fan Array is designed to move large volumes of air at medium to high pressures, and provides a sensible, cost-saving alternative to using a large, single fan system. Not only does the parallel action of the multiple fans in an EC Fan Array achieve the performance of a conventional large single AC fan,
