Powerfoil® D
Designed with the size, power and efficiency to tackle oppressive temperatures or stagnant air head on. Powerfoil D is perfect for spaces that need quiet, durable airflow.
Product Highlights
Built to withstand ball strikes and harsh conditions, Powerfoil D is the perfect solution for schools in need of quiet and low maintenance cooling for large halls. This gearless overhead fan is engineered with premium materials, ensuring its durability and reliability. With a virtually silent motor and a 15-year warranty, Powerfoil D is the ideal choice for schools seeking to create a comfortable and productive learning environment.
Powerfoil D is available in diameters ranging from 4.3m to 7.3m, providing powerful airflow of up to 109 cubic meters per second. Its airfoils are designed to reduce wind turbulence and noise with cuffed winglets, ensuring consistent airflow throughout the space.
Energy Usage
Looking for a cost-effective solution to cool your school’s large hall? Look no further than the Powerfoil D. With an efficient motor and aerodynamic design, this HVLS fan is capable of circulating airflow over a wide area, reducing the need for costly air conditioning. In winter, the fan can even help to equalize temperatures from floor to ceiling, making heaters more efficient.
In fact, using the Powerfoil D can reduce cooling and heating costs by up to 30%, more than offsetting the modest annual running cost of $1,030. So not only will your school be more comfortable, but it will also save money in the long run.
