The Redpath Vortex horizontal airflow
fans are the most economic and efficient way to provide gentle air movement
in a range of buildings. Steady horizontal air movement prevents
the formation of "calm air" pockets that can cause excessive temperature
and humidity fluctuations. The recirculation of the air by the Vortex
fan helps to prevent stratification of temperature and humidity in buildings.
Greenhouses
Air movement is important in the greenhouse to
provide the crop with a more natural environment, preventing stratification
of temperature and humidity. Reducing the fluctuations of temperature
and humidity by stirring the air can reduce the incidence of fungal diseases
in the crop. The air movement helps to maintain a drier leaf surface
inhibiting the germination of fungal diseases thus reducing the number
os sprays required. It also improves the distribution of carbon dioxide
in the greenhouse reducing the depleted zone around the active photosynthesizing
crop canopy, improving crop production.
Animal Houses
Air movement in animal shelters is essential for
animal health. It can reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases
and heat stress in the animals. The stirring of the air assists in
the prevention of excessive temperature and humidity stratification as
well as reducing the localised buildup of toxic gases from animal respiration
and from the breakdown of the animal faeces and urine.
Storage Structures
Air movement in storage structures assists in
preventing excessive temperature and humidity stratification as well as
reducing the localised buildup of toxic gases emitted from stored products.
Air movement can improve the working environment for people, particularly
in hot climates.
