Fan Wall

A fan wall is a type of mechanical system that uses fans to circulate air within a space. Fan walls are often used in conjunction with other types of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces and air conditioners. The main purpose of a fan wall is to improve the efficiency of the HVAC system by evenly distributing heat or cool air throughout the space.

There are two main types of fan walls: gravity-fed and forced-air.

Gravity-fed fan walls rely on natural convection to circulate air, while forced-air fan walls use a blower to push air through the system. Fan walls can be either horizontal or vertical, depending on the layout of the space. Horizontal fan walls are typically used in large spaces, such as warehouses or manufacturing facilities. The fans are mounted on a horizontal bar that runs the length of the space. This type of system is typically more expensive than a vertical fan<fan wall, but it is more efficient at circulating air over a large area.

Vertical fan walls are commonly used in smaller spaces, such as office buildings or schools. The fans are mounted on a vertical frame that is attached to the ceiling. Vertical fan walls take up less space than horizontal ones and are less expensive to install.
