Exhaust Ventilation and Air Circulation Are Not the Same One of the most common misunderstandings in livestock ventilation is assuming that every fan performs the same job. It does not. A negative-pressure exhaust fan and an air circulation fan have different...
The drive system is one of the fundamental differences between industrial exhaust fans. Two common configurations are belt drive and direct drive. Belt-drive fans A belt-drive motor transfers power to the fan through belts and pulleys. This configuration can provide...
Not every exhaust fan uses the same shutter-opening configuration. For some applications, a standard exhaust fan is appropriate. Others may benefit from a push-pull configuration. Standard exhaust fan A conventional exhaust fan typically uses its fan operation to...
The material of an industrial exhaust fan matters because different environments create different demands. Galvanized steel Galvanized construction is widely used for general industrial and agricultural ventilation. The zinc coating provides corrosion protection while...
An exhaust fan can only remove air effectively if replacement air has somewhere to come from. This simple principle is often overlooked. Exhaust and intake work together When an exhaust fan removes air from a building, replacement air must enter through openings....
Why Summer Ventilation Matters in Layer Houses Layer poultry houses can experience significant environmental challenges during hot weather. High temperatures, high stocking density, humidity and insufficient airflow can create heat-stress conditions and affect...
Why Enclosed Pig Houses Need Controlled Ventilation Enclosed pig houses provide greater control over the production environment, but they also reduce the amount of natural air exchange available to the animals. During hot weather, heat and moisture can accumulate...
Large buildings often require large-volume ventilation, but "bigger is better" is not always the right approach. Large fans make sense when airflow demand is high Large-size exhaust fans can be useful for: large factories warehouses agricultural buildings livestock...
A fixed or ducted industrial air cooler is designed to provide evaporatively cooled air to a defined area of a factory, workshop, warehouse or commercial building. Unlike portable air coolers that are moved from one location to another, fixed industrial air coolers...
