Cool Boss, a division of BendPak, announced the expansion of its product lineup beyond evaporative coolers with the new Tempest and Windstorm series of high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) industrial overhead fans. These powerful, efficient fans are designed to deliver optimized temperatures in large interior spaces while drastically reducing energy 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 commercial or industrial buildings, Cool Boss overhead fans create a more comfortable environment while maintaining low energy consumption. “Running the fans counterclockwise in the summer provides the expected cooling effect. But it doesn’t stop there. In the winter, running the fans clockwise mixes heated air rising from below with cooler air sinking from above to provide an optimum temperature without running heaters as often – resulting in up to 30 percent energy savings,” the company says.
A Tempest or Windstorm fan combined with a Cool Boss evaporative air cooler offers maximum performance to really cool things off, Cool Boss says. “Unlike traditional air conditioning systems that circulate the same air, evaporative air coolers send a steady stream of chilled, fresh air into a space. Combine that with the added draft created by an HVLS fan that moves hot air away from the skin, and worker comfort is increased while money is saved,” the company adds.
Cool Boss HVLS fans are available in a range of sizes, from 11.5 feet to 24 feet in diameter. They’re quiet and built to last, using high-strength, fatigue-resistant aluminum alloy for the blades, according to Cool Boss. Blades are powder-coated to ease cleaning and ensure long life. Winglets on the blade ends improve aerodynamic performance and increase airflow. The winglets reduce turbulence, decreasing drag to maximize energy efficiency.
The Tempest Series debuts with two models, both of which have six blades. The Windstorm Series includes two five-blade models.
