24 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 14,400 Square Foot Coverage

Product Overview

This 24-foot HVLS ceiling fan is engineered for large-scale air movement in commercial and industrial environments. The five-blade design, paired with an 800W PMSM direct drive motor, delivers consistent airflow across expansive open areas. Typical installations include warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other facilities with high ceilings and significant square footage.

The fan is designed for mounting on I-beams and includes a wall-mounted VFD controller with remote operation. With a 24-foot diameter and a coverage area of up to 14,400 square feet, this unit is suited for spaces requiring broad, even air distribution. The IP57 rating supports use in locations where dust and moisture exposure are present.

Core Performance and Output

This HVLS fan provides variable speed operation from 25 to 55 RPM, allowing adjustment to match seasonal or operational needs. The 800W direct drive motor ensures efficient, quiet performance with a sound level below 40 dB. The five aluminum blades are optimized for high-volume, low-speed airflow, supporting effective ventilation and temperature equalization in large open interiors.

At full speed, the fan can cover up to 14,400 square feet, reducing the number of units required for large spaces. Excessive airflow may occur in smaller or low-ceiling areas, so installation is best suited for facilities with adequate mounting height and open floor plans. Uniform air movement may be reduced if obstructions or racking interrupt the airflow path.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fan includes a wall-mounted VFD controller with remote control capability, supporting variable speed adjustment to fine-tune airflow. The controller allows for precise speed selection based on occupancy, temperature, or process requirements. The system supports both 208V-240V and 277V-480V operation, accommodating a range of facility electrical standards.

Speed can be adjusted in real time to balance comfort, energy use, and process needs. The direct drive motor eliminates the need for belt maintenance and supports smooth, responsive speed changes. Integration with building management systems is not included as standard and may require additional interface hardware.

Longevity and Reliability

The fan is built for long-term operation in demanding environments. The direct drive PMSM motor reduces wear points and maintenance requirements compared to belt-driven systems. The IP57 rating protects against dust ingress and water exposure, supporting reliable use in industrial and semi-wet locations.

Warranty coverage includes 15 years on mechanical components, 5 years on the motor, and 3 years on electrical parts. Routine inspection of mounting hardware and periodic cleaning of blades are recommended for optimal performance over the service life.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fan features a 24-foot diameter with five precision-balanced aluminum blades. The 59-inch downrod and I-beam mounting hardware provide secure installation for high-ceiling applications. The fan weighs 153 lbs and is available in black or silver finishes.

All exposed components are designed for durability in commercial and industrial settings. The IP57 enclosure protects internal components from dust and water. The wall-mounted VFD controller is designed for accessible placement and ease of use in facility environments.

Where This Product Fits Best

This HVLS fan is intended for large, open interior spaces where broad, consistent air movement is required. It is most effective in facilities with high ceilings and minimal obstructions. The fan is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where improved ventilation and occupant comfort are priorities.

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

The fan is designed for indoor use in environments where dust and moisture are present but not extreme. Not suitable for corrosive or hazardous locations without additional protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires structural I-beam mounting and sufficient ceiling height to accommodate the 24-foot blade span and 59-inch downrod. Electrical connection supports both 208V-240V and 277V-480V systems. The fan?s weight and blade diameter require secure anchoring and clearances from obstructions, lighting, and fire suppression systems.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of mounting hardware and cleaning of blades. The direct drive motor minimizes service intervals. Long-term use is supported by robust construction and extended warranty coverage. Controller placement should allow for easy access and visibility for facility staff.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on ceiling structure and clearance requirements. Fans are commonly spaced to provide overlapping coverage, with one unit per 12,000 to 15,000 square feet in open layouts. In facilities with racking or partitions, additional units or alternative placement may be required to maintain airflow.

Higher speed settings increase air movement but may create drafts or noise in sensitive areas. Lower speeds are used for background ventilation or destratification. Spacing and layout should be adjusted based on ceiling height, obstructions, and desired air velocity at occupant level.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fan is IP57 rated for dust and water ingress protection. All electrical and mechanical components are designed for commercial and industrial use. The fan includes a 15-year mechanical warranty, 5-year motor warranty, and 3-year electrical warranty.

Installation must comply with local codes and structural requirements. Safety features include balanced blade design and secure mounting hardware. Controller and electrical connections should be installed by qualified personnel.
