Like
human
beings,
animals
and
poultry
suffer
in
hot
stagnant
air.
It
provides
a
living
hotbed
for
harmful
bacteria.
Ceiling
fans
can
circulate
and
disperse
air
up
to a
tremendous
43,500
CFM
,
creating
a
mild
windchill
that
cools
the
animals
and
poultry.
Continuous
air
movement
speeds
drying
of
floors,
bedding,
walls
and
ceilings.
Seasonal
condensation
problems
are
drastically
reduced
making
for
a
safer
working
environment,
such
as
eliminating
slippery
floors
by
dispersment
of
moisture.
The
result?
A
healthier,
cooler
environment
for
animal,
poultry
and
people,
resulting
in
higher
production
and
comfort
for
all.
Hot
air
rises
causing
very
definite
temperature
differences
at
various
room
levels.
In
heated
buildings,
there
can
be a
15
to
25
degree
difference
from
colder
floor
to
hotter
ceiling.
The
ceiling
fan,
at
efficient
lower
speeds,
forces
the
stratified,
heated
upper
air
down.
By
equalizing
the
overall
temperature
in a
building,
thermostats
can
be
lowered
where
the
air
at
body
level
will
remain
warm.
The
result?
Your
bills
will
drop
as
much
as
30%
(and
sometimes
even
more).
The
cost
of
running
these
ceiling
fans
is
usually
small;
one
fan
uses
less
energy
than
a
100
watt
light
bulb.
With
increasing
fuel
costs
and
world
demand
for
energy,
the
ceiling
fan
system
makes
sound
operating
sense.
Besides
costing
little
to
operate,
it
uses
existing
heating
and
cooling
systems
to
bring
more
efficient,
effective
solutions
to
current
and
future
poultry
care
problems.
Some
houses
have
been
a
problem
to
ventilate
under
cold
winter
conditions
in
the
past.
Ceiling
fans
can
ventilate
certain
houses
although
the
houses
are
not
completely
air
tight.
Air
exchange
is
dependent
upon
outside
wind
velocity
and
direction.
Leakage
around
the
curtain
can
provide
sufficient
air
intake.
Ceiling
insulation
is
crucial
if
low
volume
ceiling
fans
are
used.
Winter
ventilation
requires
only
minimal
air
exchange
of
one-fourth
to
two
CFM
per
bird.
Initial
cost
of
the
fans
will
run
about
three
cents
per
bird
and
operating
costs
add
on
less
than
one-half
cent
per
bird
for
a
hundred
day
period
under
most
conditions.
With
insulated
ceilings
and
low
volume
fans,
certain
wall
poultry
houses
can
be
winter
ventilated
and
still
maintain
higher
temperatures
and
good
air
quality.
Ceiling
fans
are
easy
to
install
from
ceiling
beams
or
cross
braces.
Solid
State
infinite
speed
controls
may
also
be
used
to
give
ultimate
control
over
the
speed
on
the
fans
from
1-300
RPM.
The
usage
and
success
of
the
operation
of
ceiling
fans
is
no
better
than
the
operators.
Common
sense
must
be
used
to
successfully
operate
the
ceiling
fans.
On
low
speeds
ceiling
fans
reclaim
hot
air
trapped
at
the
ceiling
and
keep
it
from
seeping
through
the
roof.
The
fans
push
the
air
down
and
around
in a
circular
column
and
spread
it
evenly
throughout
the
room.
Cold
spots
and
drafts
can
be
eliminated.
You
can
turn
the
thermostat
down
six
to
eight
degrees
and
be
just
as
warm
as
before
and
cut
the
heating
bills.
There
are
many
other
types
of
usage
for
the
ceiling
fans
other
than
poultry
buildings,
such
as:
Auditoriums;
Bowling
Lanes;
Automobile
Service
Centers;
Warehouses;
Churches;
Boat
and
Auto
Show
Rooms;
Banks;
Factories;
Department
Stores;
Barber
Shops;
Restaurants;
Bars;
Retail
Shops;
and
Schools
and
Gymnasiums. |
