Moving and mixing massive amount of air.AirMotion Big Smart Fan (US Patent No. 8,066,480) is the Next Generation HVLS fan. HVLS technology works on a simple concept. On a hot, humid day you feel cool when a breeze is blowing; the breeze causes evaporation of moisture on your skin surface and you do not need to be a rocket scientist to know that evaporation takes away the latent heat off your skin so you feel cool. Air has significant mass, and once it starts moving - as inertia is overcome - the momentum of the moving air mass allows for a continuous air circulation requiring little effort to maintain it. HVLS fans - with their large blades and low speed - move and mix large masses of air using very little energy.

Increase comfort and productivity while reducing HVAC energy costs significantly.Energy efficiency is fundamental to the design of AirMotion Big Smart Fans. It is common knowledge in fan design that the power required to drive a fan varies approximately with the cube of the average air speed through the fan - i.e. doubling the air speed requires eight times the power. Accordingly, a fan delivering air at 20 mph requires 64 times as much power as one delivering air at 5 mph. Thanks to the combination of our proprietary Variable Pitch Technology (VPT™), Rotatair™ Composite blades, and MultiMode Smart Control, AirMotion Big Smart Fans move and mix massive amounts of air to create a more comfortable and healthier facility environment, resulting in greater productivity and operational efficiency while significantly reducing energy costs.

With continuously increasing energy costs, the immediate energy saving benefits of AirMotion HVLS fans provide some of the most compelling reasons to install them. Apart from the financial benefits, reduced energy usage and corresponding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions makes for a better environment now and for future generations.

Packed with the Smartest Technologiesto ensure complete and more effective air movement throughout your facility.

VPT™ (Variable Pitch Technology)Lets you control the reach and direction of the air movement equally effectively up or down by reversing the pitch of the blades from ±0° to 20° (while the fan is operating).

Rotatair™ Composite BladesLightweight, yet stronger. Low turbulence design. Equally effective in moving air up or down.

MultiMode Smart ControlProvides manual to fully automatic fan control in five modes of operation with on-board smart electronics and temperature sensors.

By using Variable Pitch Technology™ AirMotion Big Smart Fansprovide you Adjustable Air Movement with one fan...

6 Lower Pitch – DownWhen set in Lower Pitch, the fan provides a columnar air-flow for narrower focus.

6 Lower Pitch – UpYou can also get the columnar air-flow upward with the same degree of pitch set in reverse.

Higher Pitch – Down 7When set in Higher Pitch, the fan provides you

a conical air-flow for broader reach, better air mixing, andbigger performance (than old generation HVLS fans).

Higher Pitch – Up 7You can also get the conical air-flow upward

with the same degree of pitch set in reverse.5

...and Complete Facility Movement of air with multiple fansarranged in an array at your facility.

With three or more fans arranged in an array you can get an all-encompassing, wave-like air movement and mixing throughout your facility by adjusting some fans to move the air upward while others moving the air downward. We call it Complete Facility Movement of air.

Manual ModeThe user sets the fan speed (20-120 RPM) and blade pitch angle (0° to 20° up or down).

EcoModeThe fan is programmed to select the most energy efficient pitch for a user set speed.

DeStrat ModeThe fan turns on automatically at user set speed, pitch, and direction (up/down) when there is a pre-set temperature difference between the fan and the wall box control unit and turns off when the temperature difference is reduced by air mixing.

AutoModeThe fan selects the combination of optimal speed and pitch based on temperature differences, and runs automatically. The user just sets direction (up/down). This feature was first developed for the US Navy, now incorporated in all AirMotion big fans.

External Input ModeThe fans can also be run by user specified external devices such as thermostats, timers, sensors, or other devices.

A Fan For All Seasons – keeps you cool in summer, and warmer in winter.CoolingAirMotion big fans provide a natural cooling effect of 6°F to 14°F - or more - by creating a pleasing, non-disruptive breeze. With the low to high speed capability of our fans (20 to 120 RPM) one can also adjust the fan speed to create a stronger breeze if desired.

VentilationAirMotion big fans mix incoming fresh air with the indoor stale air to maintain a refreshing and healthier environment reducing/eliminating the need for other IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) solutions while also minimizing the volume of air (and corresponding loss of warm or cool air) that needs to be replaced.

Heat DeStratificationIn colder seasons and climates, most large facilities can experience a 15°F or more difference in temperature from

floor to ceiling (as hot air always goes up). AirMotion big fans mix the trapped warmer air from the ceiling with colder air down at the floor level to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the facility and save a guaranteed 20% or more in heating costs by reducing heater cycle time.

AC SupplementAirMotion big fans are an effective supplement to air conditioning. They allow for 3°F to 8°F higher thermostat settings by creating an equivalent cooling effect of lower settings through evaporative cooling and efficient air mixing, providing 3% to 5% savings on energy costs per degree of thermostat increase. They also reduce the need for costly ducting and air conditioning tonnage with correspondingly less financial and human resources needed to build, install, and maintain the system.

The innovative sizes of AirMotion Big Smart Fans (available in 9 ft, 12 ft, and 15 ft diameters) don’t interfere with most lighting and fire suppression installations and help eliminate the counter-productive strobe effect created by big fan blades spinning underneath lights, helping avoid issues and concerns of fire marshals and/or insurance underwriters. We move lots of air with our fans - thanks to our Variable Pitch Technology and Rotatair blades they don’t need to be so big.

A 15 ft AirMotion Big Smart Fanis designed and capable to meet all yourneeds better than the older generation24 ft HVLS fans.

It doesn't need to be So Big,if it's Smart.

When the air is heated it goes up. In colder seasons and climates AirMotion big fans can provide better heating comfort in large facilities by moving otherwise wasted hot air down from the ceiling and mixing it with the colder air at floor level, helping to maintain a more uniform temperature throughout the facility while saving a Guaranteed 20%* or more in heating costs by reducing heater cycle time and related fuel usage.

A 30,000 sq ft county maintenance facility in upstate Michigan has been using two AirMotion Big Smart Fans. They claim to have reduced their heating fuel usage by 75%, and when they park their plow trucks at night with a foot of ice on them, the next morning all the ice is gone with no trace of moisture anywhere. In the summer, their guys used to eat their lunch outside under the shade of a tree, now they eat in the shop under the fans.
