How is it Used?

The VALOR Series positive pressure fans are used to ventilate spaces by creating a positive pressure environment. This helps to clear smoke, fumes, and other hazardous gases from buildings, making it safer for occupants and emergency responders. The fans are placed at entry points, and their powerful airflow pushes contaminants out through designated exit points.

Who Uses It?

These fans are widely used by:

• Firefighters: To ventilate smoke-filled buildings during firefighting operations.
• Industrial Workers: For clearing fumes and maintaining air quality in factories and warehouses.
• Emergency Responders: To ensure safe environments during rescue operations.

Maintenance Information

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the VALOR Series fans. Maintenance tasks include:

• Engine Checks: Regularly inspect and service the engines as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
• Cleaning: Keep the fan blades and housing clean to prevent debris buildup.
• Lubrication: Ensure moving parts are adequately lubricated to reduce wear and tear.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of damage or wear and replace parts as necessary.

What is it Used With?

The VALOR Series fans can be used with various accessories and equipment to enhance their functionality, such as:

• Ducting: To direct airflow to specific areas.
• Smoke Curtains: To control and contain smoke movement.
• Adapters: For connecting multiple fans or integrating with other ventilation systems.

Real-Life Examples

• Firefighting: During a building fire, firefighters use the VALOR Series fans to quickly ventilate smoke, improving visibility and reducing the risk of smoke inhalation.
• Industrial Maintenance: In a factory setting, workers use the fans to clear out fumes from welding or chemical processes, ensuring a safer working environment.
• Emergency Rescue: During a rescue operation in a confined space, responders use the fans to provide fresh air and remove hazardous gases.

Material Used

The VALOR Series fans are constructed with high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand harsh conditions. The fan blades are made from single-piece cast aluminum, which holds up better than plastic in high heat. The precision-spun steel shroud provides durability and maximizes airflow, while the full roll-cage aluminum frame offers protection for the shroud and motor and is 15% lighter than steel frames.
