Do pedestal fans use much electricity?
With heavy bases, adjustable height posts, and larger fan blades, industrial pedestal fans efficiently prevent air stagnation in manufacturing plants, shipping platforms and warehouses while significantly improving air quality. Industrial pedestal fans are lightweight and easily transferred from one area to another. Pedestal fan posts can also be quickly lowered or raised to accommodate various cooling and air quality needs. Fans have the ability to oscillate as well, which further enhances their capacity to cool, remove fumes and particulates and keep electricity costs at acceptable levels.
Electricity Usage of Industrial Pedestal Fans
Compared to air conditioning units of any size, pedestal fans consume far less energy and require minimal maintenance. A powerful yet simply designed motor drives pedestal fan blades to propel large volumes of warm, particulate-containing air. A strong, consistent air flow in most industrial buildings is essential for enhancing air quality, preventing particulate and fume aggregation and reducing temperatures.
The cost of running an industrial pedestal fan seven days a week, 12 hours a day varies depending on electricity rates in a given geographical area. In some cases, pedestal fan costs may be several hundreds less than costs associated with running air conditioners. A/Cs contain condenser and evaporator coils and a compressor that constantly sends coolant back and forth between the condenser and evaporator. As coolant evaporates in coils, heat is extracted from indoor air. Coolant gas is then pumped into the compressor, which expels heat by transforming this gas back into a liquid. The cold air emitted by air conditions is the result of heavy power usage that causes higher than normal energy bills.
Industrial pedestal fans require no coolant, no evaporator coils, no condenser and no filters. Regular cleaning of fan blades is the only type of maintenance you need to do when using pedestal fans in manufacturing plant settings.
More Benefits of Industrial Pedestal Fans
In addition to saving industrial facility managers thousands of dollars annually in energy savings, some pedestal fans come with remote controls to change speeds when fans are placed in minimally accessible areas. These versatile fans are also environmentally friendly because they do not need coolant or unsustainable components to operate.
Industrial pedestal fans available for purchase at Industrial Fans Direct are equipped with superior Stranded Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) cords that are thicker, sturdier and meet UL Class 43 Standard 1581. Ranging from size 10 to 18 wire, SJT cords are made to accommodate heavier usage demanded by large machinery and high-powered electrical equipment. However, electricity required by SJT cords to power industrial pedestal fans is much less than cords used to power air conditioning units and systems.
Functional, adaptable and cost-effective, industrial pedestal fans provide numerous advantages over more expensive industrial fan systems. By rapidly removing air contaminants, reducing levels of noxious fumes and decreasing atmospheric humidity and heat industrial pedestal fans help manufacturing facility environments improve air quality and reduce cooling costs for impressive ROI numbers.
