Aquafog Turbofan Placement and Layout Information
| DO: Mount
the fan high overhead. Allow room in front and below the
fan for the unobstructed propulsion of it's fog. Rule
of thumb: the higher the better! But, leave at least three
feet from any roofing structures.
DO: Mount the fan at the intake
end of a ventilated structure. In structures with mild
to no ventilation, propel fog the length of the structure.
In large structures, use of an oscillator greatly enhances
coverage and circulation.
|
DON'T: Mount the fan near the
ground underneath tables or benches
DON'T: Propel the fog into the
wind (direction of airflow).
DON'T: Cramp the fan in tight
quarters or skinny aisles.

Small Structures
In applications requiring only one
fan, mount the fan high, centered along one wall, with fog propelling
horizontally along the length of the structure. If there is
ventilation, choose the intake end of the structure. Generally,
no oscillation is necessary unless the width of the structure
is greater than 20'. The best location for automated controls
is behind the fan, at an accessible level for easy monitoring.
Large Structures,
Force Ventilation
Direction of airflow -->
In large structures equipped
with forced ventilation, the first fan row should be
within a few feet of the intake end. The first fan
should be:
- centered along the end wall OR
- placed no more than 25' from the side wall, with additional
fans in the row equally spaced no farther than 50' apart.
Lengthwise, fans should be equally spaced no farther than
70' apart. All fans should be equipped with oscillation, sweeping
180° in the direction of airflow.
Large Structures,
Natural Ventilation
In large structures with natural
ventilation, propel fog the length of the structure with the
first fan row no more than 30' from the end wall. The
first fan should be:
- centered along the end wall OR
- placed no more than 30' from the side wall, with additional
fans in the row equally spaced no farther than 60' apart.
Lengthwise, fans should be equally spaced and no farther apart
than 60'. All fans should be equipped with oscillation, sweeping
360°.
Large Structures, Closed Or Minimum Ventilation
In closed structures with little
to no ventilation, propel the fog the length of the structure
with the first fan row no more than 40' from the end
wall. The first fanshould either be: - centered along
the end wall OR
- placed no more than 40' from the side wall, with the additional
fans in the row equally spaced no farther than 80' apart.
Lengthwise, fans should be equally spaced and no farther apart
than 80'. All fans should be equipped with oscillation, sweeping
360°.
Operating Two Fans
On One Control
If you are planning to operate two
fans on a single control (purchased from the manufacturer),
we recommend selecting "Options" when ordering, to request extended
water and power lines. Water and power lines should be extended
equally, to reach a centrally located control.
