Use CasesFans

Our industrial fans and ceiling fans are suitable for many different applications. Fans improve air circulation, balance conditions, and reduce heating and cooling costs.

LARGE WAREHOUSES

Large Warehouses

TEMPERATURE STRATIFICATION

Heat stratifies strongly, and the temperature below the ceiling is often significantly higher.

  • Stratification approximately 0.5–1 °C/m

  • Roof heat loss increases approximately 30%

  • Heat goes where it is needed

Show more
The fan solution significantly reduces temperature differences. The typical achieved temperature difference is 1–2 °C. With reduced temperature difference, heat loss through the roof and upper walls drops approximately 30–40%. Heat is efficiently transferred to where it is needed, reducing the building's overall heating demand.

HIGH SUMMER TEMPERATURES

Temperatures remain stable in early summer, but later they rise and the air stagnates, creating stuffy conditions. Installing cooling is often prohibitively expensive.

  • Cooling large facilities is expensive

  • The cooling season in the north is often very short

  • The solution delivers benefits in both summer and winter

Show more
Moving air feels 3–5 °C cooler by evaporating moisture from the skin. Consistently moving air removes heat buildup around individual pieces of equipment and other heat-generating sources, reducing heat-related damage.

VENTILATION

For energy savings, air handling units often supply only a minimum amount of air, which reduces even air distribution in the space.

  • Consistent air distribution

  • Drier indoor environment

Show more
Fans ensure consistent air distribution and create a consistently dry environment. This significantly improves conditions and prevents moisture buildup in ventilation dead zones.

PRODUCTION FACILITIES

Production Facilities

TEMPERATURE STRATIFICATION

Heat stratification is strong due to the high temperature levels of machining equipment. In many cases, production spaces would hardly need heating at all if all heat from production equipment could be distributed evenly to work areas.

  • Heat goes where it is needed

  • Reduces heating costs

Show more
Directing heat to areas where it is needed significantly improves working conditions and reduces heating costs. Heat generated by production equipment can be utilized more efficiently.

HIGH SUMMER TEMPERATURES

Production facility temperatures often remain good in winter as equipment generates heat. As outdoor temperatures rise, production heat loads increase indoor temperatures and high temperatures become a problem.

  • Air movement reduces the need for cooling

  • Moving air feels 3–5 °C cooler

Show more
Cooling the heat load created by production equipment is often a major cost — both as a capital investment and as an operating expense. Air movement in production facilities significantly reduces the need for cooling and operating costs.

VENTILATION

Ventilation ductwork is often inadequate for production needs. Air stagnates and heat-generating machines suffer from high temperatures. Gases and vapors from welding and metalworking accumulate at certain heights.

  • Consistent air circulation removes uneven heat buildup

  • Improves operating conditions for equipment

Show more
With consistent air circulation, worker conditions remain stable and heat from machine tools does not affect workers. Gases and vapors mix evenly with ventilation and are efficiently removed from the space.

WORKSPACES

Workspaces

TEMPERATURE STRATIFICATION

Systems operating at high temperatures increase temperature stratification. Heat rises quickly into roof structures, and temperature differences between working height and the ceiling can exceed 20 °C.

  • Stratification approximately 0.5–1 °C/m

  • Roof heat loss increases approximately 30%

  • Heat goes where it is needed

Show more
The fan solution significantly reduces temperature differences. The typical achieved temperature difference is 1–2 °C. With reduced temperature difference, heat loss through the roof and upper walls drops approximately 30–40%, reducing the building's heating demand and costs.

HIGH SUMMER TEMPERATURES

Temperatures remain stable in early summer, but later they rise and the air stagnates, creating stuffy conditions. Installing cooling is often prohibitively expensive.

  • Moving air feels 3–5 °C cooler

  • Improves work productivity and comfort

Show more
Consistently moving air removes heat buildup around individual pieces of equipment and other heat-generating sources. Work productivity and overall comfort remain significantly higher as the air feels cooler.

VENTILATION

For energy savings, air handling units often supply only a minimum amount of air, which reduces even air distribution. Recirculating indoor air to boost circulation is common but worsens indoor air conditions.

  • Consistent air distribution

  • Drier environment

Show more
Fans ensure consistent air distribution and create a consistently dry environment. This significantly improves conditions and prevents moisture buildup in ventilation dead zones.

GYMS AND SPORTS FACILITIES

Gyms and Sports Facilities

TEMPERATURE STRATIFICATION

Sports facilities are often tall buildings where high temperatures are maintained during winter. Heat stratification is strong and building heat losses are high.

  • Roof heat loss increases approximately 30%

  • Reduces space heating consumption

Show more
By reducing the temperature difference across the roof structure, heat losses through the roof and upper walls are reduced by approximately 30–40%. Lower heat losses directly reduce space heating consumption and costs.

HIGH SUMMER TEMPERATURES

Cooling large sports facilities is often very expensive due to their large floor area. Air easily stagnates and exercising in excessive heat is extremely demanding.

  • Air movement reduces the need for cooling

  • Moving air feels 3–5 °C cooler

Show more
Air movement in sports facilities reduces or eliminates the need for cooling and significantly lowers operating costs. Moving air feels 3–5 °C cooler. The benefits of air movement are especially pronounced in sports and fitness spaces.

VENTILATION

Conditions in gyms and sports facilities are often stuffy and the air feels stagnant. Distributing ventilation evenly across large sports spaces is technically challenging.

  • Consistent air movement throughout the sports facility

  • Reduces perspiration and improves endurance

Show more
With consistent air downdraft, even air movement is achieved throughout the sports facility. Consistent airflow reduces perspiration, makes exercise more comfortable, and significantly improves endurance.

OFFICES AND OFFICE BUILDINGS

Offices and Office Buildings

Consistent Air Circulation

Modern offices and commercial spaces often feature open-plan layouts and atriums. Glass facades and atriums in tall office buildings introduce large heat loads when the sun shines. As heat rises into atriums, open office areas — especially on upper floors — tend to become warm.

  • Balances temperature levels throughout the building

  • Reduces heating demand and costs

  • Improves summer conditions at workstations

Show more
Consistent air circulation balances temperature levels throughout the building, keeping the office uniformly comfortable. By equalizing heat stratification, heating demand is reduced — resulting in cost savings. During warm summer periods, office conditions remain significantly more comfortable with air moving consistently around workstations.
