Compressed air is essential to manufacturing processes, with companies having a dedicated compressor room in their facility to feed their plant air needs. The compressors have internal fans to exhaust air from the unit casing, but the hot exhaust is often circulated...
When ventilation applications require fans to remove heated air from a space, such as cryptocurrency mining, understand a fan’s performance curve. If the heat is not removed, mining performance is reduced, as is profitability. Many articles explain fan performance,...
Sounding the alarm once more as critical supply chain issues continue to escalate, it is getting extremely difficult to get ventilation equipment or spare parts on time or as needed. With “quick ship” no longer offered by manufacturers, fans shipped in 4-6...
