Product
- Epoch 16-ft 5-Blades 95 RPM HVLS Fan with Epoch 2.0 Motor and Controller – 140Nm / 1.1kW / 1.5 hp
Problem
- Samcon Industrial Controls Private Limited is a manufacturer & supplier of Electrical Control Panels required for HVAC, Engineering, Power Distribution and Process Industries.
- The climate in Asangaon is tropical. The tropical climate is characterized by its humidity, which reinforces the feeling of warmth. Hence cooling system is needed.
- These hot and humid working conditions, especially in the summer days, affect the health of workers and reduce productivity and quality of their work.
- Floor-mounted fans were used for spot cooling in limited areas of the factory. However, their speed and noisy operation created stressful work environments and consumed large amounts of electricity.
Solution
- Epoch 2.0 16-ft HVLS fan was installed with the following specifications:
- Motor : Epoch 2.0
- Coverage Area : 12,000 Sq. Ft. (1,114 Sq. m)
- Speed : 95 RPM
- Peak Power : 1.1 kW / 1.5 hp
- Epoch 2.0 16-ft diameter five-bladed fan is cost-effective and provides massive air movement for industrial environments.
Site Survey
A site survey is mandatory before any HVLS fan recommendation. The survey revealed the following dimensions:
- Total Area : 90 ft × 40 ft = 3,600 Sq. Ft.
- Floor to Ceiling Distance : 24 – 27 ft
- Rule of thumb : Distance / 1.5 ≈ fan diameter
- Selected Fan Size : 16-ft HVLS fan
Test Reports
Three test reports are collected for each fan installation.
Power Consumption Report
Power consumption captures both real and apparent power. Epoch HVLS fans feature active power factor correction and near-unity power factor. Power measured at 55, 65, 75, 85 and 95 RPM was 310 W, 530 W, 650 W, 840 W and 980 W respectively.
Input Current Report
Input current measured at 55, 65, 75, 85 and 95 RPM was 1.2 A, 2.1 A, 2.6 A, 3.9 A and 4.4 A respectively. Input voltage during testing varied between 230 V and 240 V.
Air Flow Report
Airflow was measured from the center of the fan at every 3-ft distance up to 30-ft. Recorded airflow values were 270, 390, 420, 470, 540, 460, 410, 320, 260 and 240 ft/min.
