Horse Barns, stables and equine applications are all about year-round comfort for the horses and riders. As temperatures rise Agricultural Ceiling Fans can be used to circulate the air vertically by strategically locating the fan directly over the horse stalls. The air velocity generated by the ceiling fan can be used to keep the floor dry and make it uncomfortable for insects to crawl on and stress your horses. Evaporative cooling is another benefit by creating a gentle breeze and can lower the temperate by 3 degrees Fahrenheit and cause the evaporative cooling effect. In cooler weather, agriculture ceiling fans running at lower speeds will push rising heat back down to floor level while minimizing moisture and condensation.

Poultry Farmers use ceiling fans to lower energy costs in cooler months by up to 40% to prevent temperature stratification. By constantly forcing hot air down to the floor you equalize room temperature and minimize propane costs. Cooling in recent years has become more important as the density of birds per square feet has increased and the poultry houses have become larger. Heat stress can lower productivity, profits and increase mortality. An effective way to lower heat stress is by lowering the birds internal body temperature through providing a consistent air stream around their heads and bodies. Uniform air flow is important to keep the birds from grouping together. Carefully planned locations of ceiling fans help you to get the entire floor space so that every bird in the house is reached by the fans.

Why People Use HVLS Ceiling Fans in Warehouses

U.S. law requires companies to protect their employees from undue risks. This &#;duty of care&#; includes a safe environment for workers to perform regular tasks.

When the environment in a warehouse or factory floor becomes too hot, cold, dusty, or humid for employees to work comfortably, their health and well-being can be at risk. Not only does their ability to be productive drop, but they are also more likely to become ill, suffer symptoms, and even miss work.

HVLS ceiling fans provide a highly effective solution to uncomfortable work environments. While standard ceiling fans&#;the kind you have in your home&#;are ideal for smaller areas such as bedrooms, they&#;re generally ineffective in large spaces like warehouses. However, HVLS fans are powerful enough to provide sufficient air circulation to keep workers comfortable and productive.

With their much larger size&#;anywhere from 8 to 30 feet in diameter (2.4 to 9.1 meters)&#;and specially engineered design, HVLS ceiling fans create a consistent flow of air that helps employees feel cooler and enables them to stay energized and focused while on the job.

When Shouldn&#;t You Use HVLS Ceiling Fans?

While HVLS ceiling fans are a great answer for the vast majority of warehouses and other large industrial spaces, there are a handful of situations where an overhead fan may not be the best solution.

For example, if a warehouse is stacked floor to ceiling with narrow shelving units, there may not be sufficient space to fit a large overhead fan. Other conditions that may prohibit the effective use of an HVLS ceiling fan might include:

• Situations where a breeze or moving air may disrupt a company&#;s ability to get work done (for example, producing or packing lightweight objects such as sheets of paper or feathers)
• Facilities that use equipment that may be sensitive to certain patterns of circulated air
• Building or production configurations that may require a more directional&#;even one-on-one&#;fan solution
• Large production facilities that change their physical set-up or production orientation on a regular basis and may need a variety of air circulation solutions
