As architects and engineers, you understand the importance of considering the functional and aesthetic elements of a building or space when designing a project. MacroAir's HVLS fans play a crucial role in creating a comfortable and efficient environment, but selecting the right fan for the application can be complex. Furthermore, what may seem like the best fan for the job or the most budget-friendly fan for the space, may not actually best suit the facility’s specific demands.
We’ve designed this comprehensive step-by-step guide to fan selection. Follow the steps below to help you begin your MacroAir journey.
Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the MacroAir product line
Step 3: Customization option overview
Step 8: Select your MacroAir fan
In order for us to make an accurate fan recommendation, you will need to gather and assess the following information.
MacroAir’s line of HVLS fans includes three premium, ultra-efficient direct drive fans: AVDX, AVD3, and AVD370. It also contains three rugged, tough gearbox fans: AirVolution, AirLegacy, and AirLite. Please know the AirLite is an online exclusive with limited customization options available.
To simplify your process, we’ve included an overview of what customization options are available for MacroAir fans, including drop length, mount, color, and controllers.
In addition, most MacroAir HVLS fans are highly customizable, with various blade sizes and motor types. A sales specialist or distribution partner will help navigate those options in more detail to ensure that the chosen fan is tailored to the specific application.
Because direct drive drop lengths vary greatly, we recommend contacting a MacoAir specialist to assist in this process. Specific drop lengths can be found in the specification sheets below.
Specific mount options can be found in the specification sheets below.
Do you or your client have a custom color in mind? We offer customization options to fit the specifics of any business or home. A wide variety of custom color options are available to accentuate any space. For powder coating colors, please refer to Appendix A.
