STEP 1: DETERMINE THE TYPE OF CIRCULATOR
FOR YOUR APPLICATION


Manufacturing Facilities
Choose an industrial circulator that is designed specifically for dirty, dusty, hot and humid environments. Industrial circulators have totally enclosed ball bearing motors that protect against premature motor failure due to the encroachment of dirt and oil on the bearings. Reserve power keeps units running, even if the propeller gets coated with dirt and dust.
Commercial Facilities
Choose a commercial fan that is designed to
produce a high volume of cooling air at low
sound levels. Designed for areas like airport
terminals, office lobbies, and cafeterias. Not
well suited for industrial applications.
Office Areas
Choose a light commercial fan that provides a
steady stream of cooling air at very low sound
levels. Ideally suited for offices, schools, and
reception areas.
STEP 2: DETERMINE THE AIR VELOCITY
REQUIRED FOR YOUR APPLICATION:
Light Activity
• Assembly, table work, customer service, etc.
• 200 - 400 FPM (feet per minute)
Heavy Activity
• Manufacturing, warehouse, millwork, etc.
• 500 - 700 FPM (feet per minute)
STEP 3: DETERMINE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FAN AND TARGET OF THE AIRFLOW
STEP 4: SELECT AIR CIRCULATOR BASED UPON AIR VELOCITY (FPM) AT DISTANCE (FT.)
