In these times of rising energy costs and production costs, it is urgent to find more cost-effective options, especially for greenhouse cultivation. A high-tech industrial fan was developed by Rite-Hite Ltd, a specialist company based in Volkmarsen (Germany) a few years ago. They state that the ingenious ventilation system will not just improve the indoor climate, thus the conditions inside the glasshouse, but also significantly reduce the final energy consumption.
The HVLS fans move large volumes and at low speeds to create efficient air circulation. The company describes that the process is primarily used in industrial buildings. It is especially useful in the fruit sector, where it can be used for ventilation of storage and production areas, sales area, greenhouses, and other areas. The fans have been used in food warehouses and greenhouses. Their use has greatly improved indoor climate.
HVLS industrial fans
Cool in summer, warm winter
HVLS industrial fan from Rite-Hite has optimum low speed, high air volume and a low cost. The fan draws air in from above and conically transports it to the shop floor. HVLS fans also offer year-round benefits. They provide active cooling in summer and can be used in winter for destratification. This is a process that mixes warm, humid air from the ceiling with cool air from the floor. This is especially important in greenhouse systems where harvesting and planting are done more often year-round,” Rite-Hite says.

Year-round performance and energy savings
Last but not the least, the process meets modern user’s requirements in terms of ease-of-use. “The Fan Commander’s touch-screen control panel lets the user optimize the year-round performance Rite-Hite VLS fans in a building to maximize energy savings and comfort.
