High-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans are becoming increasingly popular in commercial and industrial spaces. Businesses and their staff value HVLS ceiling fans for their ability to generate lower-cost, higher-quality air with increased circulation, especially in an environment where employee and visitor well-being is an ongoing priority.
HVLS fans are commercial-grade ceiling fans spanning diameters over 6 feet. Their width allows them to circulate more air without excessive speed.
You’ll find HVLS ceiling fans in spaces like gyms, factories, warehouses and storage and logistics centers.
HVLS fans work by leveraging air streams. They take in the air above them and force it down to the floor in large cones. Next, the air sweeps horizontally until it reaches the walls or an additional fan and air stream to push it farther.
HVLS fans offer numerous advantages in commercial and industrial spaces.
Building temperatures that stray from the norms of heat tolerance can reduce productivity significantly. Some of the most convincing research on the subject came from NASA in . The agency’s findings indicated increased errors and measurable drops in output as temperatures increased. A more recent report from the University of Chicago draws the same conclusion and establishes a link between employee absenteeism and uncomfortable workplace temperatures.
HVLS fans help regulate temperatures and keep them consistently within a comfortable zone to keep productivity high.
During warmer months, HVLS fans help facilities use less energy in cooling. The circulating air creates an evaporative action on team members’ skin. Their operation can make the ambient temperature feel up to 8 degrees Fahrenheit lower than it actually is. That means you can set the thermostat higher while still keeping your workforce cool.
In the winter, you can run the large industrial fans in reverse to promote heat destratification — a process of mixing the cooler air in the bottom portion of the space with the heat at the top. This approach reduces evaporative cooling and heat loss through the building roof. It also produces comfortable, consistent temperatures across the facility without adding to heating costs.

Indoor air quality has a significant impact on your workforce’s well-being. HVLS fans help support higher-quality air by increasing ventilation and circulation. Thanks to their unique airflow patterns, HVLS fans help force air throughout the facility. They also help reduce condensation to prevent unhealthy bacteria or mold growth.

Fans have been used to provide comfort for centuries. As far back as 500 BCE, people in Southeast Asia relied on punkahs — handheld fans fashioned from bamboo strips or other plant fibers — for relief from the stifling heat. Fan technology has evolved quite a bit since then, but our desire to keep cool persists. Big industrial fans offer one of the most effective ways to beat the heat in spacious facilities.
There isn’t much difference between standard fans you might use to cool a bedroom or living area and big industrial fans…other than size, of course. Fans don’t actually cool the air, but they produce airflow that causes your body to feel cooler; the fast-moving air currents generated by fans displace warmer air that comes into contact with your skin, causing sweat to evaporate through a process known as convective heat loss. But enough of the science talk: The bottom line is, fans make you comfortable when it’s hot and stuffy.
To truly be effective, you need a fan large enough for the space being cooled. While a ceiling fan in the bedroom is more than adequate, hanging one in a shop or warehouse won’t do much good. Big industrial fans are needed to do the job in settings such as these.
Big industrial fans work because they are designed with purpose built components from heavy duty materials that generate air circulation powerful enough to cool down much larger spaces than general purpose fans. Thanks to their size, a 59” diameter AMS Fan can produce airflow as wide as 50’ over a distance of 100’. That makes them ideal for automotive and service shops, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, fitness centers, and more — any large, open space where a lot of people congregate.
There are many reasons why this is important. Big industrial fans:
AMS Fans offers two types of big industrial fans: the AirFocus is designed to be installed from a ceiling or wall, and the AirMobile is mounted on wheels for flexibility.
