FANWALL TECHNOLOGY – Ideal for New Construction and Retrofits

Continuous and uninterrupted airflow is the lifeblood of any building, making underperforming or unreliable fans unacceptable. In addition to concerns about reliability, these inefficient fans can be the biggest consumers of energy in a building, skyrocketing energy costs in today's economic environment. And during a time when sustainable building design is increasingly important, building designers must pick a fan system which not only will provide the necessary reliability, but also optimum efficiency and environmental benefits.

Today, more and more building owners are choosing FANWALL TECHNOLOGY to upgrade old fan systems. Huntair pioneered the invention of FANWALL TECHNOLOGY that first served the needs of the semiconductor industry, where reliability, energy use, sound and vibration, and unit footprint were all critical performance standards. Now, you can find FANWALL TECHNOLOGY applied in almost any commercial or industrial application: hospitals, datacenters, laboratories, schools and universities, concert halls, and office buildings, to name a few.

Let's explore why FANWALL TECHNOLOGY has become so popular. A FANWALL system is an array of smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient fans, typically driven with a variable speed drive and designed to deliver the required airflow in an air handler or built up fan system.

A fan array enables designers to optimize more closely the fan wheel geometry and motor horsepower for a specific application. The result is smaller fans and motors running closer to peak efficiencies, thus reducing energy costs.

The redundancy of the fan components adds to the unit's reliability. If one motor fails, only that portion of the airflow is lost, unlike single fan air handlers. FANWALL TECHNOLOGY is ideal for fan retrofit applications as FANWALL cells are easily moved through a standard-with door or elevator, and stack like building blocks to fit the profile of the air tunnel.

If the need is reliability, operating efficiency, redundancy, acoustic performance, and clean system integration, FANWALL TECHNOLOGY is the right fit. You can count on FANWALL TECHNOLOGY for fan system upgrades and reap the benefits:

• More uptime with increased reliability through fan redundancy
• Increased energy efficiency with smaller, more efficient fans
• Lower sound levels and less vibration, oftentimes eliminating the need for expensive sound attenuation devices or elaborate isolation systems
• Less space requirement gives you back real estate for more productive use
• Small size makes fan upgrades possible in hard-to-get-to places
• Less maintenance with no belts to change or bearings to grease
• More commonality of parts that are more practical in size to service
• FANWALL TECHNOLOGY supports the universal goal of creating sustainable buildings
