How HVLS fans can control space humidity

Did you know that damp can cause major problems in your facility? That’s right, if your premises do not have measures in place to control humidity, it can have major negative consequences not only for the installation itself, but also for the equipment inside and the health of its occupants.

HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) fans are fans that move large amounts of air and distribute it evenly in large spaces. They stand out for their ability to control humidity in industrial, commercial and recreational facilities.

These fans feature state-of-the-art technology, including direct drive motors and intelligent control systems that make them the most efficient, quietest and easiest to integrate.

The environmental conditions in any facility should not constitute a source of discomfort or nuisance, so extreme temperatures and humidity, sudden changes in temperature, unpleasant draughts and unpleasant odours, among others, should be avoided.

And in this sense, humidity is a fundamental aspect to take into account, as it can represent a source of contamination and discomfort for workers and users, giving rise to the appearance of sick building syndrome (SBS), defined by the World Health Organisation as a set of diseases caused or stimulated by air pollution in enclosed spaces.

On the other hand, it is also important to bear in mind that materials and equipment of products stored in these facilities may be damaged. In addition, controlling humidity can lead to increased costs in maintaining structural damage or investing in temporary solutions or replacement of damaged equipment.

So, to avoid the appearance of damp areas in your premises, opt for quality ventilation and choose our HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) fans, which are able to reduce the growth of bacteria, improve the control of humidity levels and increase air quality and thermal comfort.

HVLS fans achieve humidity control thanks to the constant flow of air that eliminates humidity accumulations, especially in closed spaces. This prevents condensation and consequently the appearance of mould, unpleasant odours and deterioration of materials.

During the summer months, HVLS fans disperse the humid air by mixing it with the dry air, reducing the feeling of being stuffy. In the cooler months, on the other hand, they distribute the warm air trapped in the ceiling and prevent moisture build-up due to the temperature contrast.

Controlling humidity is a very important factor in maintaining a pleasant and healthy environment in any facility or space. That is why Magnovent’s HVLS fans are designed for this purpose:

• Prevention of structural problems and equipment.
• Improve the health and well-being of occupants.
• Optimising energy efficiency.
• Benefits in the preservation of products.

HVLS industrial ceiling fans are designed for installation on the roofs of industrial buildings and buildings with high ceilings. The fans of the AIRSLIM and AIRMAX series are characterised by their state-of-the-art power with the smallest and most powerful direct drive motor.

They also represent the most efficient and sustainable solution for air-conditioning your business with HVLS Fans, as they move large quantities of air, distributing it evenly throughout the space and consuming less energy than conventional air-conditioning systems.

In short, at Magnovent we recommend that, in order to maintain optimum environmental conditions in any installation, the temperature should be around 22-24º with a humidity level that does not create a feeling of oppression and, for this, correct ventilation is the key.
