Cool Boss has expanded its product lineup to include high-volume, low-speed industrial overhead fans.
The Tempest and Windstorm series are designed to deliver optimized temperatures in large interior spaces while reducing cooling costs, the company says.
"By moving significant volumes of air in a controlled manner, Cool Boss HVLS fans make HVAC systems more efficient, while significantly improving worker comfort and health," says Lee Franklin, Cool Boss product manager. "They also help reduce energy consumption, combat air quality issues and can even be integrated into building management systems."
In winter, the fans can be revered to mix heated air from below with cooler air from above to provide an optimum temperature without running heaters as often. Cool Boss says this can save up to 30% in energy.
Cool Boss HVLS fans are available from 11.5 feet to 24 feet in diameter. They're built with high-strength, fatigue-resistant aluminum alloy for the blades, which are powder-coated for easier cleaning and longer life. Winglets on the blade ends improve aerodynamic performance and increase airflow, maximizing energy efficiency, Cool Boss says.
The fans use direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous motors, which Cool Boss says are smaller and lighter than traditional A/C motors but deliver higher output torque with no gearing required. Cool Boss says they use 50% less energy than conventional motors.
The Tempest series has two, six-blade models. The CB-11HVLS is 11.5 feet in diameter with a maximum RPM of 90 and minimum air volume of 4,200 cubic meters. The CB-16HVLS is 16.4 feet in diameter with a maximum speed of 78 RPM and a minimum air volume of 10,200 cubic meters.
The Windstorm series has two, five-blade models. Both feature a built-in ion generator air purification system. The CB-20HVLS is 20 feet in diameter with a maximum speed of 60 RPM and minimum air volume of 12,700 cubic meters. The CB-24HVLS is the largest model Cool Boss makes, 24 feet in diameter with a maximum speed of 55 RPM and a minimum air volume 14,850 cubic meters.
All Cool Boss fans are UL certified and Intertek ETL listed. Each model comes with a standard guy wire kit to keep the fan stable without excessive oscillation during operation.
