Bring your heating costs back down to earth where they belong.
With our destratification solutions, warm air can run but it can’t hide.
So, what exactly is “stratification?”
We all learn it in elementary school science class: warm air rises. Cooler air stays closer to the ground. That effect – multiple microclimates within a given area -- is called stratification because it results in stratified layers of air at distinctly different temperatures. In a large, enclosed environment, the gradient can run to a full 20º or more from floor to ceiling.
Well, the science hasn’t changed. But what may be a minor inconvenience at home can be a serious drag on operating efficiency at a large, high-ceilinged commercial facility during the cooler months.
The good news is, there’s a solution that will make your workplace more comfortable, your valuable inventory more stable and secure, and your energy bills a whole lot less painful.
Our HVLS fans are whizzes at destratification: in other words, in coaxing that expensively heated air down from the ceiling and out of the corners of your facility so that it can play nice with the cooler air down below, creating consistently comfortable temperatures for workers and product alike.
Want Proof?
In a recent ASHRAE study, installing HVLS fans in an airplane hangar quickly and dramatically reduced temperature variance by over 7º F. This subsequently reduced normalized gas use by a whopping 29%. Imagine the implications for your business.
Our HVLS fans are designed to do just that with extremely modest energy consumption and without creating breezy conditions that can negatively affect both operational efficiency and worker comfort. That means you can set your facility thermostat at a reasonable number, and forget about it. Because it won’t be constantly kicking on to remind you of its existence. So make your science teacher proud. Learn how to put our destratification solutions to work for you. (Science fair ribbons sold separately.)
Choose Your Agent of Destratification
Hornet
Target the problem. Then attack it.
In high-density (think rows and rows of tall, packed warehouse shelves) or irregularly shaped environments, Hornet provides powerfully direct airflow from ceiling to floor, delivering precisely directed performance. Where larger fans aren’t an option. It proves that just because a space is crowded or out of the ordinary, that doesn’t mean it can’t be comfortable and energy efficient. Add a swarm of Hornets to your space and consider it destratified.
Powerfoil® X4
The choice for whole-building comfort and efficiency. Its massive wingspan (up to 24’) moves air like no other fan, drawing warm air from the upper and outer reaches of your facility and effortlessly blending it with the cooler air below for a working environment that’s consistently comfortable to your workers and your inventory. Simply put: stratification doesn’t stand a chance.
Get More Value from the Heat You’re Already Paying For
Destratification helps reduce wasted energy, maintain more consistent temperatures, and improve comfort throughout your facility.
You already know that these days, energy consumption is a line item that can’t be ignored. Because it gets bigger every day. As with every other aspect of your operations budget, you need to ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
Our HVLS fans make sure none of that expensively heated air goes to waste. Destratification means pulling warm air from the outer reaches of your facility and blending it with the cooler air closer to the facility floor. So, temperatures are actually maintained at the level you set on your thermostat. Workers are more comfortable, which makes them more productive. Your valuable inventory is maintained at optimal temperature. In short, your entire facility improves operationally and financially. That makes destratification a great investment on every level.
Is destratification right for my facility?
In a word, absolutely. From small, stacked storage facilities to wide-open warehouses and workplaces, if you’re heating a large volume of air, you are a prime candidate for all the operational and budgetary benefits of our destratification solutions.
