"Wickerbill" Fan Creates Cooling Breeze in Smaller Spaces



Lexington, KY - The HVLS Fan Company, commonly referred to as the maker of those "Big Ass Fans," introduces a solution for companies with smaller spaces.

The "wickerbill" or "Gurney flap" modified airfoil, which is currently available on all 8 ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft HVLS (high volume, low speed) fans, allows customers to achieve floor-level air movement previously available only with the largest HVLS fans, despite space constraints caused by the size of the building or by the location of equipment installed in or near the ceiling. A wickerbill-modified 12 ft diameter HVLS fan can move as much air (80,000+ cfm) as a 20 ft diameter HVLS fan, but will fit inside an open area that is 40% smaller.

The patented HVLS fan employs ten airfoils to move a massive column of air at slow speed. The fan provides 25+ times the airflow of the "standard industrial" ceiling fan, blanketing an area of 10-15,000 square feet with a gentle (3 mph) breeze. HVLS fans operate throughout the year to improve air circulation and to create a more comfortable working environment. These 8 ft to 24 ft diameter ceiling-mounted fans are sized to cool large, high-ceilinged warehouses, industrial plants, and distribution centers. A single 24 ft HVLS fan moves 125,000 cfm of air very slowly (260 fpm), and can cover an area of up to 20,000 sq. ft. at an operating cost of less than $.05/hour.
