FA / FAB Wall Exhaust Fan Series

FA Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan with Damper

Compact square metal axial exhaust fans with automatic gravity shutter louvers and rear safety guards for commercial rooms, workshops, plant rooms, storage spaces, and utility ventilation in Saudi Arabia.

In brief

What is an FA wall mounted fan with damper?

An FA series wall mounted exhaust fan is a compact square metal axial ventilator equipped with automatic gravity louvers that open under exhaust airflow and drop shut when stopped. Sized using Room Volume (cu. ft) × Target ACH ÷ 60 for low static pressure wall openings (< 30 Pa), delivering 350 to 3,120 CFM.

Application Check

Is an FA wall fan with damper suitable for your space?

Evaluate room volume, heat and odor sources, and external wall exposure before selecting from the FA20-B to FA50-B range.

Good fit
  • Commercial storage rooms, stockrooms, and janitorial utility spaces
  • Maintenance workshops, fabrication bays, and repair rooms (non-hazardous)
  • Electrical switchgear rooms, transformer rooms, and elevator plant rooms
  • Commercial utility corridors, dishwashing areas, and staff restrooms
Confirm first
  • External facade exposure (install external weather hood in direct-wind desert zones)
  • Wall cutout framing dimensions and structural sleeve thickness
  • Occupied room noise limits (50–60 dB(A) catalog sound levels)
  • Adequate fresh make-up air intake path (door louvers or transfer grilles)
  • 220–240V 60Hz single-phase electrical supply connection
Use another documented fan
  • Commercial kitchen grease exhaust hoods (select Upblast Roof Fan or Centrifugal Box Fan)
  • High-CFM agricultural poultry sheds, greenhouses, and dairy barns (select DEMO HAM Series)
  • Long ducted ventilation systems with high external static resistance (select Inline Duct Fan)
  • Explosion-proof or ATEX-classified flammable solvent or paint spray booth zones
Important application note: FA series wall fans with gravity dampers are compact direct-discharge room ventilators designed for free air displacement (< 30 Pa static pressure). The gravity louvers help reduce backdraft, dust, and rain entry when off, but are not hermetic seals. For commercial kitchen grease extraction or high-CFM agricultural tunnel sheds, select specialized equipment designed for those duties.

Catalog & Sizing Note: Airflow ratings reflect free-air wall discharge (0 Pa static pressure). Under Saudi 60Hz 1-phase power supplies, 4-pole motors operate at nominal ~1650 RPM with approximately 10–15% higher airflow than 50Hz baseline ratings. The integrated gravity shutter introduces approximately 10–15 Pa pressure resistance. Never select exhaust fan size based on floor area alone; use Room Volume × Target ACH ÷ 60.
Ventilation Engineering

Engineered Room Ventilation Sizing & Air Change Rates (ACH)

Calculate exact exhaust CFM using internal room volume and target air turnover rates instead of unreliable floor area estimates.

6 – 10 ACH
Storage Rooms & Stockrooms
FA20-B / FA25-B (350 to 530 CFM)
Required CFM = Room Volume (cu. ft) × 8 ACH ÷ 60

Engineering Note: Maintains positive air turnover to prevent moisture stagnation and odor accumulation in enclosed storage spaces.

10 – 15 ACH
Maintenance Workshops & Service Bays
FA30-B / FA35-B (765 to 1,059 CFM)
Required CFM = Room Volume (cu. ft) × 12 ACH ÷ 60

Engineering Note: Provides general ambient air displacement for non-hazardous grinding, assembly, and maintenance activities.

12 – 20 ACH
Electrical Switchgear & Plant Rooms
FA40-B / FA45-B (2,060 to 2,648 CFM)
Required CFM = Room Volume (cu. ft) × 15 ACH ÷ 60 (+ heat load)

Engineering Note: Evacuates heat dissipated by transformers, panelboards, and motor control centers (MCC) to maintain safe ambient temperatures.

15 – 25 ACH
Light Commercial Kitchens & Dishwashing
FA45-B / FA50-B (2,648 to 3,119 CFM)
Required CFM = Room Volume (cu. ft) × 20 ACH ÷ 60

Engineering Note: Suitable for dishwashing steam, prep areas, and background room ventilation. NOT certified for grease cooking hoods.

Backdraft Control

Gravity Damper Operation & Weather Protection

Understand the mechanical opening and closing behavior of integrated gravity louvers and external weather protection needs.

Gravity Operation Principle
Lightweight formed aluminum shutter louvers pivot open automatically under the velocity pressure of exhaust air and drop shut by gravity when power is cut.
Backdraft & Weather Resistance
Helps prevent outdoor winds from pushing dust, insects, birds, and rainwater back into the building when the exhaust fan is inactive.
Pressure Drop Impact
The gravity louver introduces approximately 10 to 15 Pa of internal resistance, which is already accounted for in catalog direct wall discharge ratings.
High-Wind Facade Coordination
For exposed windward walls subject to severe desert gusts and direct rainfall, installing an external sheet metal weather cowl or hood is strongly recommended.

Applications

FA Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan Applications

Direct wall air extraction for storage rooms, maintenance workshops, plant rooms, and commercial utility spaces.

Storage rooms & stockrooms

Removes: Stagnant air, humidity, and storage odors via continuous or switched room air change

Maintenance workshops

Removes: Heat buildup, light assembly fumes, and dust-laden air from non-hazardous work bays

Electrical & plant rooms

Removes: Heat generated by transformers, switchgear, and pump motor controllers

Commercial stores & back rooms

Removes: Trapped heat, humidity, and stale air across retail service corridors

Commercial restrooms & utility

Removes: Moisture, steam, and odor directly through exterior perimeter walls

Light kitchen prep & dishwash

Removes: Dishwasher steam and background room cooking odor (NOT for grease exhaust hoods)

General work areas

Removes: Warm stagnant air to improve indoor air movement and worker comfort

MEP project procurement

Removes: Sized by room volume, target ACH, wall cutout dimensions, and 60Hz electrical supply

Application boundary: FA wall fans are open wall-displacement exhausters. For commercial kitchen grease hoods, select a certified metal Centrifugal Box Inline Fan or Upblast Roof Fan. For high-CFM agricultural poultry sheds or greenhouses, select the DEMO HAM Shutter Exhaust Fan.
