Wall-mounted fans are the perfect solution to target specific areas and make their climate more comfortable for work to become more efficient.
5 Benefits of Wall Mount Ceiling Fans
Fans have been a part of history since civilization began, as the evaporative cooling effect is a key biological process to keep us cool when climates are hot. While even a personal fan waved by a hand can make use of this effect, modern wall-mounted ceiling fans take it to the next level to keep personnel and customers happy.
1. Provide Targeted Cooling
The evaporative cooling effect occurs when the body overheats and a flow of air cools the skin, allowing the blood near the surface of the skin to circulate deeper into the body and bring its temperature down. Wall mount ceiling fans maximize this effect by providing a steady, high-powered stream of air to flow over the skin and cool personnel and customers down no matter the temperature.
2. Air Circulation Where You Need It
In addition to cooling, wall mount fans are adept at moving air so that it stays fresh and doesn’t get stale in targeted areas. Especially in applications where workers are utilizing equipment, it significantly helps overall comfort and safety to provide proper circulation of air.
3. Help with Ventilation
One useful aspect of wall mount fans is their capability to help ventilation by mounting in positions where they can move unwanted air away and bring fresh air in. This is an excellent opportunity for areas where machinery and/or activity that creates fumes and other vapors need to be moved beyond for additional ventilation equipment to take them out of the facility.
4. Save on Energy Costs
As mentioned, when there is a large facility with only small areas that need cooling, installing hvac equipment is not feasible - and that’s before getting to how much energy it costs to run them. The solution then is to target those areas specifically with wall mount fans, allowing the cooling and proper air flow to occur with minimal equipment and energy costs.
5. Kept Out of the Way with Wall Mounts
Wall mount fans of course are beneficial as they can be mounted, meaning they are not in the way. For many applications, space is sized exactly to need, so the addition of a floor fan may not be in the cards. In these situations, making use of nearby walls to mount fans not only keeps the fans out of the way, but allows them even better angles to target specific zones where cooling and air flow are desired.
Applications for Wall Mount Ceiling Fans
Possibilities abound for wall mount ceiling fans, from industrial facilities to retail. Wherever targeted, directional cooling is needed and great air flow, a wall mount fan is the ideal solution.
Workshops
It’s unusual for workshops to install hvac systems for cooling, and yet they can get hot and balmy in spring and summer months where important work takes place. The best way to cool a workshop, especially when only specific areas need cooling, is a wall mount fan. Low on energy usage and easy to install and adjust, wall mount fans provide much-needed cooling and air flow to keep workers comfortable and increase their efficiency.
Mechanic Garages and Fire Stations
Fire stations and mechanic garages typically have many large bay doors that are left open for vehicles to enter and exit. Due to this, it is not feasible to utilize HVAC systems, as all of the conditioned air will simply escape the building, incurring incredible energy costs (and wear and tear on the system). In addition to that, many areas of these facilities do not need cooling, just specific areas.
The installation of wall mount fans is a great idea to provide cooling necessary to keep mechanics and fire fighters cool, as well as providing a directional air flow to ventilate exhaust from engines and other processes where unwanted fumes and vapor are created.
Manufacturing
Many manufacturing facilities are large, and all of them typically have heavy machinery that generates its own heat in addition to environmental heat in spring and summer months. This situation makes structure-wide cooling a challenge. The solution is to install wall mount fans to provide targeted, directional airflow to keep workers cool.
Additionally, wall mount fans can be installed such that they are directed at machinery to help ventilate the heat they generate, moving it elsewhere or even to ventilation equipment so that the overall temperature isn’t affected.
Restaurants and Bars
The irony of hot spring and summer months is they’re also the months where we want to be outside, especially at a great restaurant or bar. Patio seating, outdoor bars, overlook decks… all of these situations are fantastic spots to eat and grab a few drinks, if it weren’t for the climate and its heat. In this situation, the implementation of wall mount fans is perfect to create a powerful cooling effect and also bring in fresh air to outdoor areas.
And while bars and restaurants often run on tight budgets, the addition of a few fans installed in key locations comes at a low cost and can make the difference between a full patio of happy customers and an empty one.
How Do Commercial Wall Mount Fans Provide Cooling?
Commercial wall mount fans provide cooling by delivering a targeted air flow that initiates the evaporative effect on the skin. By pushing air across the skin, the body is able to cool down and become more comfortable, leading to happier customers and/or more efficient workers.
Can Wall Mount Fans Help Air Conditioning Systems?
Yes! Wall mount fans can provide a powerful boost to air conditioned environments by providing cooling so that the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard. This saves on operational costs and also reduces the strain on the system, allowing them to work longer without as much wear and tear.
