Combat air stratification and achieve energy savings.

In recent years, the Australian Energy Regulator's forecasts have set off alarm bells, predicting a significant surge in electricity prices. With projections pointing to a daunting 20% to 22% increase in the coming year, Australian businesses are gearing up for the impact. Compounding this challenge is the relentless rise in temperatures, driving businesses to consume more energy to maintain cool and productive workspaces.?

In this era of escalating costs and climate challenges, the spotlight is firmly on the importance of energy efficiency and cutting-edge cooling solutions. Enter air destratification—a game-changing technique with the potential to revolutionise energy consumption while boosting workplace comfort and air quality.?

Understanding Air Stratification?

Air stratification, also known as thermal stratification, occurs when layers of air form based on temperature differences. Warm air, being less dense, naturally rises and often congregates near the ceiling in large spaces lacking adequate air circulation. This phenomenon leads to excessive heating in colder months and overcooling in warmer periods, resulting in discomfort and energy waste. Estimates suggest that addressing stratification effects could yield annual energy savings ranging from 15% to 20%.?

Combatting Air Stratification?

Tackling air stratification involves encouraging the downward movement of warm air to mix with cooler air at lower levels. Two primary solutions have emerged to address this challenge: axial fans and high-volume, low-speed giant fans.?

Axial fans, strategically positioned near ceilings, efficiently direct air downwards, facilitating effective mixing without causing discomfort. These compact units boast low energy consumption, minimal maintenance requirements, and the ability to handle hazardous fumes, making them ideal for industrial settings.?

Giant fans, mounted on ceilings, deliver powerful airflow throughout facilities. Energy-efficient and quiet, these fans excel in both cooling during summer and heat destratification in winter, improving air quality and offering year-round energy savings. Their ability to neutralize odours also makes them invaluable in industries dealing with strong scents.?
