Industrial HVLS Ceiling Fan (ICF Series)
High-volume low-speed (HVLS) industrial ceiling circulation fans engineered with polymer composite airfoil blades and gearless permanent magnet motors (PMSM) delivering up to 628,235 CFM for warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities across Saudi Arabia.
Engineering & Application Overview: Industrial HVLS Ceiling Fans
An industrial HVLS (High-Volume, Low-Speed) ceiling fan is a large-diameter circulation fan (ranging from 4.0 to 7.3 metres) engineered with aerodynamic polymer composite airfoil blades and an energy-efficient permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). By rotating slowly (56 to 95 RPM), it moves massive columns of air (up to 628,235 CFM) downward, producing a gentle, expansive floor-level horizontal breeze that enhances human convective cooling (reducing perceived heat by 3°C to 6°C) and destratifies trapped ceiling heat during winter. Unlike geared fans, the ICF-H series direct-drive motor weighs only 47.8 to 83.6 kg, significantly reducing static and dynamic dead loads on building trusses. HVLS fans recirculate indoor air rather than exhausting it; therefore, facilities with airborne contaminants, process heat, or fumes must pair HVLS circulation fans with dedicated mechanical exhaust and fresh air makeup systems.
ICF industrial HVLS model range (6 documented models)
Extracted directly from the manufacturer technical brochure (Deton ICF Series). Performance metrics represent calibrated catalogue reference values. Sizing must be verified against building geometry, clear height, and obstacles.
| Model | Blade Diameter | Nominal Speed | Air Volume (CFM / m³/min) | Motor Power | Gross Air Covering | Optimum Area (≥1 m/s) | Main Fan Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICF-73H | 7.3 m (24 ft) | 56 RPM | 628,235 CFM (17,800 m³/min) | 1,250 W | 1,375 m² | 840 m² | 83.6 kg |
| ICF-65H | 6.5 m (21.3 ft) | 66 RPM | 525,882 CFM (14,900 m³/min) | 1,100 W | 1,100 m² | 650 m² | 79.6 kg |
| ICF-55H | 5.5 m (18 ft) | 80 RPM | 423,529 CFM (12,000 m³/min) | 850 W | 800 m² | 450 m² | 74.6 kg |
| ICF-49H | 4.9 m (16 ft) | 85 RPM | 370,588 CFM (10,500 m³/min) | 720 W | 700 m² | 360 m² | 54.5 kg |
| ICF-43H | 4.3 m (14 ft) | 90 RPM | 300,000 CFM (8,500 m³/min) | 480 W | 610 m² | 250 m² | 51.6 kg |
| ICF-40H | 4.0 m (13 ft) | 95 RPM | 264,705 CFM (7,500 m³/min) | 420 W | 550 m² | 220 m² | 47.8 kg |
Air volume (CFM) and coverage area (m²) figures represent published manufacturer catalogue reference values. The optimum use area represents floor space where delivered air velocity is ≥ 1.0 m/s. HVLS fans produce a convective cooling effect (perceived 3°C to 6°C temperature reduction) but do not alter actual dry-bulb thermometer temperature.
Clear height, elevation & spacing guidelines
Sizing an industrial HVLS fan requires matching blade diameter to the facility's clear height, storage racking layout, and occupied work zones rather than square meters alone.
| Model | Diameter | Min. Clear Height | Optimum Height | Aisle & Rack Alignment | Typical Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICF-40H | 4.0 m (13 ft) | 5.5 – 6.5 m | 4.0 – 4.8 m | Open staging zones, light assembly, low-bay storage | 15 – 20 m center-to-center |
| ICF-43H | 4.3 m (14 ft) | 6.0 – 7.0 m | 4.2 – 5.2 m | Packaging lines, workshop bays, automotive service centers | 18 – 22 m center-to-center |
| ICF-49H | 4.9 m (16 ft) | 6.5 – 8.0 m | 4.5 – 6.0 m | Medium logistics aisles, fabrication plants, sports halls | 20 – 25 m center-to-center |
| ICF-55H | 5.5 m (18 ft) | 7.5 – 9.5 m | 5.0 – 7.0 m | High-bay warehouses, vehicle assembly, heavy manufacturing | 22 – 28 m center-to-center |
| ICF-65H | 6.5 m (21.3 ft) | 8.5 – 11.0 m | 5.5 – 8.0 m | Large distribution centers, airport hangars, logistics hubs | 25 – 32 m center-to-center |
| ICF-73H | 7.3 m (24 ft) | 9.5 – 14.0 m+ | 6.0 – 9.0 m | Mega logistics centers, aerospace hangars, steel fabricators | 28 – 36 m center-to-center |
