14 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 4900 Square Foot Coverage | 208-240V or 380-480V

Product Overview

The 14 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan is designed for large-scale air movement in commercial and industrial environments. This model features a 5-blade aluminum design with a 14-foot diameter, providing broad coverage for open spaces. The fan operates at variable speeds and is controlled by a wall-mounted VFD controller, supporting both 208-240V and 380-480V power supplies. Typical installations include warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other high-ceiling buildings where consistent air circulation is required.

This fan is engineered for continuous operation in demanding settings, with an IP55-rated fan body and an IP66-rated controller for protection against dust and water ingress. The 1 HP PMSM motor delivers up to 247,203 CFM, supporting effective ventilation across areas up to 4,900 square feet. The unit is suitable for mounting heights commonly found in industrial and commercial buildings.

Core Performance and Output

This HVLS fan delivers a maximum airflow of 247,203 CFM at 90 RPM, supporting effective air movement in large open spaces. The 14-foot diameter and 5-blade configuration are optimized for broad, even coverage, minimizing dead zones and supporting occupant comfort. Variable speed control allows adjustment to match seasonal or operational requirements.

The fan operates at a sound level of 38 dB, which is suitable for most industrial and commercial environments. The 1 HP (750W) PMSM motor is efficient and supports both single-phase and three-phase operation at 50/60 Hz. Excessive output may occur if installed in smaller or low-ceiling spaces; optimal performance is achieved at mounting heights typical of warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fan includes a wall-mounted VFD controller with variable speed adjustment, allowing precise control over airflow and energy consumption. The controller is rated IP66 for protection against dust and water, supporting installation in challenging environments. Speed can be adjusted to accommodate seasonal changes or specific ventilation needs.

Control wiring and integration should be planned according to facility layout and electrical infrastructure. The system supports both 208-240V and 380-480V input, accommodating a range of industrial power systems.

Longevity and Reliability

The fan is built for continuous operation in demanding environments, with an IP55-rated housing and corrosion-resistant aluminum blades. The PMSM motor is engineered for long service life and reduced maintenance compared to traditional induction motors. Bearings and drive components are selected for durability under high-cycle operation.

Routine inspection and cleaning are recommended to maintain optimal performance, especially in dusty or high-particulate environments. The fan is covered by a 2-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This model features a 14-foot diameter with five aluminum blades, providing a balance of strength and low weight. The fan weighs 177 lbs and is designed for secure mounting using a 2-inch downrod. The silver finish is standard for industrial applications.

The IP55 rating protects the fan against dust and water jets, while the controller?s IP66 rating allows for installation in areas with higher exposure to moisture or particulates. The fan is suitable for both single-phase and three-phase power supplies, supporting flexibility in installation.

Where This Product Fits Best

This HVLS fan is intended for large, open indoor environments with high ceilings and a need for consistent air movement. It is commonly installed in:

• warehouse ventilation
• manufacturing facility ventilation
• gymnasium ventilation
• agricultural building ventilation
• aircraft hangar ventilation
• distribution center ventilation
• convention center ventilation
• large retail ventilation

The fan?s environmental ratings support use in dusty, humid, or partially exposed locations. It is not intended for outdoor or corrosive marine environments without additional protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires structural support capable of handling the 177 lb fan and dynamic loads during operation. The 2-inch downrod is standard for most high-ceiling applications. Electrical connections must match the facility?s voltage and phase requirements.

Routine maintenance includes periodic inspection of mounting hardware, cleaning of blades, and verification of controller operation. The fan?s low sound level supports use in occupied spaces. Long-term reliability is supported by the PMSM motor and sealed bearings.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on the facility type and desired airflow pattern. Fans are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage, with one unit covering up to 4,900 square feet. Layouts may vary based on obstructions, racking, or equipment placement.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in large open areas, but may require careful placement to avoid excessive air movement in sensitive zones. Speed adjustment is used to balance comfort and energy use throughout the year.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fan is rated IP55 for the fan body and IP66 for the controller. All electrical and mechanical components are designed to meet industrial safety standards. The product includes a 2-year warranty covering materials and workmanship.

Installation must comply with local codes and facility safety requirements. Proper mounting and electrical connection are critical for safe operation.
