| AirMotion's HVLS fans with MultiMode Control Capability  AirMotion Sciences, Inc. announced the addition of MultiMode Control Capability to their AltAir High Volume – Low Speed (HVLS) industrial ceiling fans (Patent Pending). AirMotion's Next Generation HVLS fans already feature industry ground-breaking Variable Pitch Technology (VPT ), which enables their Rotatair composite blades to be adjusted 0 to 20 degrees, up or down, while the fan is operating. AirMotion's HVLS fans are 9 to 15 feet in diameter, have small, highly energy efficient motors, and are used for cooling, heat de-stratification, ventilation, and as alternatives to air conditioning in large facilities. AltAir HVLS fans offer the performance of larger fans, but with much greater versatility, to reduce energy costs and environmental stress, while enhancing comfort and productivity.AirMotion's engineers have developed a proprietary capability to run the company's AltAir fans in multiple modes: – Manual Mode - Allows the user control of speed, pitch, and direction. – EcoMode - The fan is programmed to select the most efficient blade pitch for a given fan RPM. – DeStrat Mode - The fan turns on automatically when there is a pre-set temperature difference between the fan and the fan's wall box control unit, shutting the fan off when the temperature difference is reduced to a set point. – AutoMode - Fans run automatically at speeds and pitch that are a function of temperature differences (a feature first developed for the US Navy, now incorporated in all AirMotion fans). – EXT Mode - The fan can be turned on and off using external devices such as timers and thermostats. "This MultiMode capability puts users in control of how the fan operates, taking full advantage of our fans' versatility", says Peter Caruso, founder and CEO of AirMotion Sciences. "Users can create what we refer to as Adjustable Air Movement in their facilities. When three or more AltAir HVLS fans are arranged in an array, it allows for what we call optimal CFM - Complete Facility Movement of air, a capability exclusive to AirMotion Sciences' fans." "We are building our Next Generation HVLS Fans to last, providing benefits now and for future generations. Just as importantly, we are bringing to market a critical tool for industry that results in immediate energy conservation and cost savings", according to Caruso. "In other words, users of our fans can 'Have Comfort While Conserving Energy.'" write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
