Fantech has partnered with US-based Hunter Industrial – part of the 133-year old Hunter Fan Company – to introduce the Hunter HVLS fan range to Australia and New Zealand.
In large, enclosed spaces where heat can impact on the comfort and productivity of its occupants, Hunter high volume, low speed (HVLS) fans are designed to eliminate the build-up of hot stagnant air in summer by maintaining constant air movement.
Suitable for warehouses, commercial spaces and recreational facilities, Hunter HVLS fans generate air movement that creates a natural evaporative cooling effect. This results in a fresher, more comfortable and ventilated environment even on hot days.
They feature a light weight, direct-drive motor that delivers exceptionally low operating costs, provides whisper quiet, trouble-free operation and makes installation easy.
Direct-drive, light weight motor
Hunter HVLS fans use a direct-drive, permanent magnet motor that is significantly lighter than gear-driven alternatives. It is designed to generate large amounts of torque even at low speeds while operating at less than 55dBA (at 3m) to ensure whisper quiet operation.
“It is up to 50% more energy efficient than a gearbox or gear-driven fan motor, and is extremely durable with fewer components,” says Peter Henry, Group IV Product Manager at Fantech.
The innovative geometry of Hunter HVLS fan blades was developed in collaboration with an aerospace engineer to ensure large air volumes were generated while minimising noise and energy use. Every fan size in the range features its own blade profile, and unlike other HVLS fans feature configurations of only 4 or 5 blades to maximise efficiency while minimising fan weight. The Hunter HVLS range has been engineered for quick installation and simple commissioning thanks to pre-assembled components and pre-aligned mounting brackets. “Just one installer can easily mount the Hunter HVLS blades,” says Henry
Range and selection
The Hunter range includes the Titan and ECO HVLS fans. The Titan range features a sleek and contemporary design that will complement any commercial space, and provide effective coverage for areas ranging from 484m² to 1,369m². The Hunter ECO is one of the lightest HVLS fans available on the market with the range providing effective coverage for areas ranging from 95m² to 858m². A choice of touchscreen controllers is available to manage a network of up to 30 HVLS fans.
Not all HVLS fans are the same. Selecting the right size Hunter fans will ensure you achieve the best return on your customer’s investment. Visit www.fantech.com.au/hvls to use the step-by-step Fantech HVLS selection tool and choose the most effective HVLS fans for your application.
