In many traditional warehouses, shelves stand in rows, space is crowded, air circulation is poor, the summer is sweltering like a steamer, and the winter is cold like an ice cellar. These problems not only affect the work efficiency and health of employees, but may also threaten the storage safety of goods. Especially under extreme weather conditions, the internal environment of the warehouse deteriorates, leading to an increase in equipment failure rates, a sharp rise in energy consumption, and even causing inventory losses and quality issues.

1, The shelves are densely lined up.

Specific manifestations: There are a large number of shelves in the warehouse, closely arranged, and the passageways are narrow (possibly only meeting the minimum safety passage requirements). The shelves have a high number of layers, and the goods are piled up close to the roof, reaching the limit of space utilization.

2, Severe poor ventilation:

Specific manifestations: The lack of effective air intake and exhaust systems, or the existing systems are outdated, have insufficient power, and have an unreasonable layout. The number of doors and Windows is small, their positions are poor, or they are closed for a long time (for safety or temperature control reasons), making it impossible to form an effective “through wind”. The dense shelves further exacerbate the difficulty of air circulation.

The core issue: The air exchange efficiency is extremely low, and the internal environment of the warehouse is isolated from the fresh air outside.

HVLS Fans solve the pain points of the warehouse:

1, Improve ventilation and eliminate dead corners.

Disrupting temperature stratification: Hot air in the warehouse rises naturally while cold air sinks, resulting in high temperatures on the roof and low temperatures on the ground. The HVLS fan stirs the air flow over a wide range, mixing the upper and lower air and reducing the temperature difference (usually lowering the vertical temperature difference by 3-6℃).

Penetrating the shelf area: Traditional fans have a small air volume and narrow coverage, making it difficult to affect the dense shelf area. The HVLS fan’s extremely large air volume (a single unit can cover an area of 750-1500 square meters) can penetrate the gaps between goods, reducing the accumulation of stuffiness and moisture.

2, In summer, it helps to cool down and enhance the comfort of the body

Evaporative cooling efficiency enhancement: When used in conjunction with spray systems or industrial cold air fans, HVLS fans can accelerate water vapor evaporation, achieving a perceived cooling effect of 4-10℃, and are more energy-efficient than air conditioners.

3, Balance the temperature in winter and reduce heating energy consumption

Hot air recirculation: During heating, hot air accumulates on the roof while the ground remains cold. The HVLS fan slowly presses down the hot air, reducing temperature stratification and raising the ground temperature by 2-5℃, thereby reducing the load on the heating equipment.

Apogee HVLS Fans installed in the warehouse of Deli Group

Deli Stationery, founded in 1981, the leader of office stationery in China, installed 20 HVLS Fans in its warehouse.

The Deli warehouse has problems such as dense shelves, many ventilations dead corners, stuffiness in summer and cold air accumulation in winter, which affect the operation efficiency and the comfort of employees. After on-site assessment by the professional team of Apogee and in combination with the actual layout of the warehouse and the airflow requirements, it is recommended to install 3.6m HVLS Fans to improve the environment in a low-cost and high-efficiency way.

Improvement effect:

Ventilation efficiency: The air exchange rate has been increased by more than 50%, reducing the retention of stuffiness and odors.

Employee satisfaction: The perceived temperature in summer drops by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius, while the ground temperature in winter rises by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius

Goods storage: Balance temperature and humidity to reduce the risk of moisture or dust accumulation for electronic components, paper products.

SCC Central Control: wireless central control greatly helps fans management, no need walking to each fan for turning on/off/ adjusting, 20sets fan are all in one central control, it has greatly improved the working efficiency.
