HVLS Fans Help Facilities Control Temperatures and Increase Productivity
11-May-2010
(Carrollton, TX) – Serco announces the launch of their new High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) Fan series, designed to provide facilities with a cost-effective and energy-efficient cooling and heating solution. The HVLS fans use the laws of physics and aerodynamics to slowly move a massive column of air, creating a deep horizontal floor jet that circulates the air in large spaces.
The gentle, non-disruptive breeze created by Serco’s HVLS fans breaks the moisture-saturated boundary layer on the skin, providing an 8-10 degree cooling sensation. This allows facilities to raise thermostats in the summer months and save money on their air conditioning bills without sacrificing the comfort of their workers. In colder months, fans enable “destratification” of the facility by running in reverse to circulate the hot air trapped at ceiling level. Heating and HVAC systems need to be run less often, providing year-round energy savings. Serco’s HVLS fans include patented components designed to maximize the fan’s effectiveness, and can also contribute to LEED® Certification credits.
The fans effectively circulate the air to improve air quality and worker productivity, and their slow movement does not disturb workers or kick up dust and debris. In extreme or humid environments, Serco’s HVLS fans assist in exhausting air and preventing moisture buildup. The Velocity™ series fan comes in a variety of sizes and motor horsepower for various applications, and the Velocity™-PV is a 100% solar model for sustainability and additional energy efficiency. In places where ceiling height or other obstructions may be an issue, The Tilt™ series fan provides the benefits of HVLS fans on a smaller scale.
Serco leads the industry in specialty hydraulic dock levelers, safety products and programmable control systems and offers a complete line of dock levelers, vehicle restraints, dock seals & shelters, ergonomic lift products, and environmental control systems.
