Destratification
Basics

"THE FASTEST GROWING AND MOST SIMPLE ENERGY REDUCTION INITIATIVE—FOR BOTH EXISTING AND NEW BUILD FACILITIES—IS THERMAL DESTRATIFICATION, ONE OF THE TOP CARBON REDUCERS FOR ANY TYPE OF BUILDING." –

Carbon Trust (one of the world’s leading authorities on climate protection and sustainability)

How it Works

Trapped air is a challenge in every building. It is the result of a naturally occurring pattern of physics called "air stratification" and is beyond the scope of HVAC systems.

Air becomes stratified as heat rises naturally, leaving the coolest air to remain at the floor. Since heat rises at .7o for every foot of vertical height, a building with 20' ceilings will always be approximately 15o warmer at the ceiling than the floor.

Air-Row Fans "destratify" buildings by gathering this air trapped at the ceiling and bringing in to the floor. In perfecting this process of destratification, we normalize the temperature from floor to ceiling and bring "targeted" air to where it is needed down below.

The Results

If our fans are not in your building, they should be.

Air-Row’s high performance destratification fans are in operation in buildings nationwide, solving air distribution problems and cutting energy costs along the way. Air-Row Fans cut your energy costs by 30% or more and solve a myriad of air distribution problems.

The Power of Air-Row Seen in Thermal Imaging

In thermal imaging, the power of Air-Row Fans is clearly visible. AT LEFT, stratified air is clearly visible. AT CENTER, the addition of Air-Row Fans begins to break down the stratified air, capturing it at the ceiling and bringing it to the floor. AT RIGHT, the results of Air-Row’s destratification work is visible, the air properly blended and the temperature differential reduced from floor to ceiling.
