How to read the jet plot of a jet fan

How to read the jet plot of a jet fan:

The free air jet plot of a jet fan shows the path of the air flow emitted by the fan in an open space, with no obstacles interfering with the flow. This is useful information for designing ventilation systems and predicting the impact of the fan on its environment.

Energy saving

Importance of SFP in reducing energy consumption and the role of box fans for low SFP

Importance of SFP in reducing energy consumption and the role of box fans for low SFP:

In environments where acoustic comfort and energy efficiency are priorities, choosing a box fans with a low noise level and low SFP (specific fan power) becomes essential. These features ensure a quiet environment and introduce efficiency into the installation, offering a number of significant advantages.

The danger of CO in parking and how to solve it

The danger of CO in parking and how to solve it:

The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) in community car parks makes them classified as risky areas. Forced ventilation and an efficient detection system will be necessary.

What is a CFD

What is a CFD:

A CFD or Computational Fluid Dynamics study allows us to analyze problems that involve fluid flows such as air or water in a given space. In ventilation, it is crucial to carry out a CFD study to find the most suitable fans for the installation.
