Heavy duty blowers and fans are used in marine, petrochemical and agricultural industry. Fans and blowers also serve the waste water treatment, chemical, pollution control, nuclear, and fume extraction ventilation systems.

Insufficient make-up air can
lead to increased building infiltration and higher energy costs, not to
mention unhappy building owners and uncomfortable occupants. While
there are no facts and figures to show how many buildings provide the
correct amount of makeup air, it can be stated that there are probably
a great many that do not have sufficient makeup air. And there's no one
solution that is available for every building. Each building must be
analyzed with a careful air balance calculation and evaluated based on
the diversity of sources of exhaust air and infiltration. Natural
ventilation depends on winds outside and convection currents inside a
building. Winds raise air pressure slightly on the windward side of a
building and lower it slightly on the lee side. The pressure difference
promotes circulation into the building on the windward side and out of
it on the lee side. Convection currents are caused by the sinking of
colder and therefore heavier air, which displaces the warmer air. A
building may have a roof ventilator to allow the rising warm air to
escape. If there is an opening to the outside at the bottom of the
building, fresh, cool air will be drawn in.
