This is a 24 foot diameter, 8-blade HVLS ceiling fan designed for large-scale air movement in commercial and industrial environments. The fan delivers up to 259,438 CFM and is suitable for coverage areas up to 25,000 square feet.

The fan operates on 3-phase power and supports both 208-240V and 460-480V input. It uses a 3 HP gear drive motor and includes a wall-mounted NEMA 1 VFD controller for variable speed adjustment.

Blade construction is aluminum, and the fan is available in brushed aluminum, black, blue, or white finishes. The fan weighs 262 lbs and is designed for mounting on I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists.

Sound output is rated at less than 59 dBA. Minimum mounting height is 15 feet, with a minimum ceiling clearance of 6-8 feet and a minimum horizontal clearance of 2 feet.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan is intended for use in large, open spaces where high-volume air movement is required. Typical environments include warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, aircraft hangars, and gymnasiums.

It is suitable for facilities with ceiling heights of at least 15 feet and where structural mounting points such as I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists are available.

The fan is designed for indoor use in commercial and industrial settings where continuous or variable-speed air circulation is needed to support occupant comfort or process requirements.

It is not intended for use in confined spaces or areas with insufficient ceiling or horizontal clearance.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 24 foot diameter and 8-blade configuration provide broad, even airflow across large open areas. Maximum airflow is rated at 259,438 CFM, supporting coverage up to 25,000 square feet.

Variable speed control is managed through a wall-mounted VFD, allowing adjustment to match changing conditions or occupancy levels. The fan operates at a maximum of 62 RPM.

Sound output is below 59 dBA, which supports use in occupied environments where noise levels are a concern. The 3 HP gear drive motor is designed for continuous operation in demanding settings.

Minimum mounting height, ceiling clearance, and horizontal clearance requirements must be met to ensure safe and effective operation.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan can be mounted to I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists using the appropriate hardware. Downrod extensions are available in 1, 2, 3, and 6 foot lengths to accommodate varying ceiling heights and installation requirements.

Minimum mounting height is 15 feet, with a minimum ceiling clearance of 6-8 feet and a minimum horizontal clearance of 2 feet. These clearances must be maintained for safe operation and to avoid interference with building systems or equipment.

The wall-mounted VFD controller provides local control of fan speed and includes a safety disconnect, on/off toggle, and speed regulator. All joined components use dual-method fastening, and safety features include a safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, and integrated sprinkler shut-off.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware, safety features, and electrical connections is recommended to support long-term reliability and safety.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the fan is typically operated using the wall-mounted VFD controller. You can adjust fan speed as needed to maintain comfort or support process requirements throughout the day.

The variable speed function allows you to respond to seasonal changes, occupancy levels, or specific operational needs without manual intervention at the fan itself.

Routine checks of the safety cable, hub clips, and fastening points are part of standard maintenance. The integrated sprinkler shut-off is in place to support compliance with fire protection systems.

In day-to-day use, the fan provides consistent, low-noise air movement across large open areas, supporting occupant comfort and air quality management.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fan includes multiple safety features: safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, dual-method fastening, and integrated sprinkler shut-off.

The controller is NEMA 1 rated for indoor use.
