FAN PLACEMENT

SPRINKLER SYSTEMS AND FAN PLACEMENT
In any installation where re sprinklers are in place, the fan should
not interfere with their correct operation. Fans should be located
no less than 3 feet below a sprinkler, and placed central to each
sprinkler quadrant. Our industrial control panel can be connected
to a re relay system, which, in an emergency, will stop fans in case
of re.
Prior to installing fans, review all codes applicable to sprinkler
systems and fans to ensure code compliance and refer to NFPA 13
Standard from the National Fire Prevention Association.
Please call our Technical Department for guidance at 1-844-593-FANS
(3267). However, it is your sole responsibility to see that the
installation is completed to code and that it is correct.
OTHER INFORMATION ON PLACEMENT AND SPACING
If possible, avoid mounting fans directly below lights or skylights to
avoid any strobe effect caused by moving airfoils. Note, a large fan,
20 to 24 feet in diameter, performs best at 20 to 30 feet above the
oor, but acceptable performance has been demonstrated as low as
10 feet and as high as 50 feet.
If the building has a mezzanine, fans should be mounted so a
person cannot reach a fan in any way from the upper level/deck.
Make certain that fans are positioned so that the airfoil tips are at
least 3 feet away from any area where a person may be able to
extend outward to reach them.
Fans should not be located directly beneath any air discharge.
This includes air conditioning units and evaporative coolers. Such
equipment can be used effectively in conjunction with HVLS fans
but the discharge must be located outside of the swept area of
the fan.
