The Environmental Benefits of Epoch HVLS Fans

Posted by Epoch HVLS Fans on Apr 20th 2020

Air Conditioners are providing cold air. Are they safe for the environment? It is a big ‘NO’. We are using air conditioners for cooling our surroundings but simultaneously it adversely affects the environment and Earth’s atmosphere.

# 1st Benefit of Epoch HVLS Fans

Major Benefit of Epoch HVLS Fans is ‘It does not harm the environment’ and this benefit makes Epoch HVLS Fans far better than any of air conditioners. All air conditioners rely on CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) and HFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) as a cooling agent, play a large role in the depletion of the ozone layer. On the other hand, HVLS fans cover a large area, recirculate fresh air and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by consuming less energy.

The interaction between temperature and humidity directly affects human health as well as building structure. The term relative humidity describes a percentage of water vapor in the air. It changes with a change in the temperature of the air. A rise in temperature decreases relative humidity. It means temperature directly affects the amount of moisture of the atmosphere.

The humid atmosphere affects human health. More water vapor in the surrounding grows bacteria. It also affects the building structure resulting in ‘Sick-Building Syndrome’. Cold outside air and high-temperature inside increase the possibility of flu-like virus transmission.

To avoid such hazardous conditions, HVLS Fans maintain and control the temperature of the building. Epoch Fans recirculate the air with 340,000 to 450,000 cubic ft/min. With such a large airflow one can easily achieve a good amount of temperature control.

# 3rd Benefit of Epoch HVLS Fans

Induction motor-based fans generate acoustic as well as harmonic noise because of its off-the-shelf inverters, rotation, magnet noise, and core vibration. When the motor vibrates during rotation, the gearbox generates noise as well. For our environment, noise pollution is a big nuisance. Traditional HVLS Fans without Epoch technology generate huge electrical and mechanical noise which are extremely harmful to our environment.

In Epoch HVLS Fans, permanent magnet motor and active power factor correction technologies are used to avoid such noises. No electrical or mechanical noise occurs in such fans. Noise from the motor at full speed is less than 35 dB with very low power consumption, whereas in traditional fans noise level is far more than 60 dB. Epoch HVLS fans use state of the art permanent magnet synchronous motor direct drive technology which reduces core vibration and magnet noise with stronger magnets in their core structure.
