Factory-Authorized Parts FAN*
The Smooth Flow fan utilizes a unique
and Quick Shipment soft-connect, blade-to-hub design. This
VFD-friendly design prevents vibration
forces from transmitting to the unit
structure and eliminates critical blade
passing frequencies at any speed!
The Super Low Sound Fan (SLSF) is a
heavy duty FRP construction utilizing
a forward swept wide chord blade
design. A 9 -15 dB(A) sound reduction is
typical versus standard fans!
DRIFT
ELIMINATORS
The eliminators are constructed
entirely of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) in
easily handled sections. The design
incorporates three changes in air
direction resulting in a high efficiency
eliminator that limits the water carry-
over to an industry-leading 0.001%
of the recirculating water rate. This
reduces water and chemical loss.
The light-weight PVC eliminators are
easily removed for access to the water
distribution system.
