This course explores the design, application, and specification of High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fans, which are large-diameter ceiling fans engineered for efficient air circulation. You will learn about the fundamental operating principles and primary components of these systems, highlighting how low operational speeds provide significant energy savings and improved occupant comfort. The session also details the essential design considerations and criteria required to select the most effective HVLS solutions for diverse environments.

This program will discuss the fundamentals of pressure losses in ducts and fittings, how fitting selections affect the overall system pressure requirements, and why the most efficient fitting (one with the lowest loss coefficient) does not always need to be selected. To be reviewed is how to calculate the loss of replacements when the fitting does not fit, and how it affects the total pressure drop of the system. We will also address why the most efficient fittings should be used when initially designing with static regain. This webinar was originally broadcast on March 31, 2021.
