Product
- Epoch 16-ft 5-Blades 95 RPM HVLS Fan with Epoch 2.0 Motor and Controller - 140Nm / 1.1kW / 1.5 hp
Problem
- VECV operates the Eicher truck manufacturing plant at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.
- To meet production goals, machines operate continuously with limited cooling time, causing heat buildup on the factory floor.
- High temperatures inside the factory increase health risks for employees and can negatively affect equipment performance.
- To improve working conditions and reduce heat, the company decided to install HVLS fans.
Solution
- Installed 3 × Epoch 2.0 16-ft HVLS Fans 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
- The 16-ft diameter five-bladed fan provides efficient air circulation and cost-effective cooling.
Site Survey
A site survey is mandatory before any HVLS fan recommendation. The survey revealed the following dimensions:
- Total Area : 250 ft × 40 ft = 10,000 Sq. Ft.
- Floor to Ceiling Distance : 24 – 27 ft
- Recommended Fan Size : 16-ft HVLS fan
Test Reports
