What is Thermal Destratification? Destratificator is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to lower energy costs and create an exceptionally comfortable thermal environment for inhabitants during both heating and cooling seasons. A destratificator gently directs the conditioned air at the ceiling to a required place at floor level. Cold Weather Problem Cold Weather Fix Naturally in any heated building, warm air migrates to the ceiling. On the average the temperature increases by 0.5-1 F for each elevated foot. This means, for example, it can be as much as 10-20 F hotter at the ceiling of a 20 ft. high facility as compared to the floor. The painful economic reality is that you pay for energy (heat) that is quite literally going through the roof (fig.1). 82 0 F Ceiling 77 0 F 64 0 F Floor Moving the superheated air at the ceiling - where it obviously doesn t do anybody any good - down to the floor level with a destratificator is one of the least expensive and easiest ways to lower utility bills drastically with the added bonus of generating a more comfortable environment for people inside. Ceiling Floor Cold and hot air resistance Hot Weather Problem An added factor is introduced in buildings with air conditioning. The cold air coming out of the ductworks at the ceiling is fighting the rising warmer air. The traditional solution has always been to install lots of refrigeration units as a way to force out the rising hot air with warm air. It has been estimated that up to 40% of the input energy for air conditioning is just wasted as it pumps out massive cold air volumes in attempts to overpower warm air that is formed at the floor. Hot Weather Fix Installing Destratificators near the cold air registers will actively direct the conditioned air where required, which results in tremendous energy savings. Moreover, it reduces wear and tear and prolongs service life of the already installed air conditioning equipment due to lower operating load. Conditioned air active pushing HOW TO ARRANGE А CORRECT HOT OR COLD AIR CONVECTION? WE SUGGEST YOU THE BEST SOLUTION WITH OUR BRAND NEW DESTRATIFICATION FANS!!!

How Many do we Need? The rule of thumb for the healthy environment is to provide indoor air circulation once or twice per hour. So to determine the number of the destratification needed use this formula: step 1 step 2 V General rule calculation L x W x H = V (Height x Width x Length = Air Volume in Building) CFM / / = (Air Volume in Building) (the CFM of the Destratificator) (converts CFM to CFH) (Number of the units) 60 N 125 x 75 x 20 = 187,500 cu. Ft For example, a building is 125 ft long, 75 ft wide, and 20 ft high. 187,500/ 920 (for DRF-VKM 315) / 60 = 3.39 Destratificators (Always round up to the next number. In this case 4 Destratificators are required.)
DRF-VK Design Air Intake Head for more Efficient Intake of the hot air from under the ceiling space. Sound Attenuating Сover of Air Intake Head reduces noise reflection from the ceiling to the operating area. Centrifugal Impeller with Backward Curved Blades creates strong pressure to enable Powerful Air Jet for effective destratification. High-Efficient external rotor motor made in Germany.

Application Smooth opening of DRF-OV airstream Mushroom widening of DRF-VK and DRF-VKM airstream Operating area 6' (~2m) Installation height 29' (~9m) Privilege of the DRF-VKM & DRF-VK products DRF-VKM & DRF-VK destratification fan is equipped with a specially designed nozzle to attain the maximum possible destratification. A unique mushroom-shaped airstream, initially narrow with wide opened reach, is the basic advantage of the DRF-VKM/VK destratification fans. The smart airstream profile produces higher air supply with lower velocity in operating areas to create a more comfortable environment particularly where you need it. Due to initially slimmer air jet profile the centrifugal destratification fans DRF-VKM/VK applications are especially suitable for grocery shops and warehouses with high racks as compared to axial destratification fans as the centrifugal models are able to eject airstream precisely into aisles with higher destratification efficiency whereas the axial models have to fight air resistance created by the racks. DRF-OV Effective Destratificated Area DRF-VK and DRF-VKM Effective Destratificated Area Privilege of the DRF-OV product Axial fan of the DRF-OV destratificator combines high airflow and extremely low power demand. The axial DRF-OV models are especially suitable for wide open space premises. Due to high airflow in bigger areas you need less units and pay less energy costs to attain the desired microclimate! Control All VENTS destratification fans DRF-VKM & VK & OV can be supplied with a Built-in Speed Controller with Temperature Sensor (Models with "U" option). When the temperature exceeds the set point the speed controller starts the fan on at the set speed. As the air temperature drops below the set point the controller switches the fan off. As soon as the air temperature rises again and the temperature sensor exceeds the previously set temperature, the controller starts the motor ON automatically and it runs at the set speed. As a result, the fans only run when needed. Temperature settings range from 70 F to 95 F.
