One innovative introduction is the minimalist AirVolution-D from San Bernardino, California based MacroAir. The company says its line is the only one on the market using gearless, direct-drive technology, which translates into fewer problems and less maintenance.
If you’re an architect or an HVAC system designer or engineer, you know the importance of specifying system components that meet ANSI, HVI and ISO test standards. This is especially true for HVLS fans, which are being used more frequently in manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities to lower energy costs and increase air circulation.
A not-for-profit organization, Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. (AMCA), is comprised of 250 of the world’s manufacturers of air system equipment, including fans, louvers, dampers, air curtains and other components. Part of its mission is to test and rate air movement products in accordance with national and International testing standards.
Just in case you haven’t noticed, I’m very proud of our products! As a company, we strive to offer this innovative HVLS technology coupled with a design that results in an exceptionally crafted fan that is easily installed and maintained. Additionally, we ensure that our fans meet proper safety standards and code compliances. I’d like to explain to you how our fans, specifically our Airvolution and MaxAir product lines, address these three key issues: safety, simplified installation and long service life.
When our factory guidelines are followed and the provided components are used, several safety standards are addressed. The lockable service disconnect is within 50 feet and in line-of-sight from the fan assembly, which complies with OSHA and NEC regulations. Additionally, the motor control panel is much less likely to be damaged by trucks or equipment and the wiring is located at ceiling height and out of reach from unauthorized personnel. Further, the remote switch box and communications cable both contain only low voltage circuits, which pose no shock hazards.
