Aircraft hangars are large, high-ceiling structures located at airfields, primarily used for storing and maintaining aircraft. Due to their size and design, achieving effective year-round climate control is a challenge. At Anemoi Fans, we offer a complete and efficient solution using HVLS fans.
Why Hangar Climate Control Matters
Hangars often experience high indoor temperatures, which can lead to discomfort and operational issues. Proper climate control brings several benefits:
· Thermal comfort: prevents heat-related issues such as fatigue, dehydration, and heat stress that impact worker health and productivity.
· Equipment and facility protection: safeguards aircraft and tools from damage caused by excess humidity, poor air circulation, or extreme temperatures.
· Improved productivity and safety: stable conditions reduce human error, mechanical failures, and improve maintenance precision.
HVLS Fans: The Most Efficient Solution
HVLS (High Volume, Low Speed) fans circulate massive volumes of air evenly, reducing thermal stratification in large spaces.
· In winter, they push warm air trapped near the ceiling down toward the floor.
· In summer, they create a gentle breeze that can lower the perceived temperature by up to 6°C.
They enhance worker comfort, protect equipment, improve energy efficiency, and lower costs.
Benefits of HVLS Fans in Hangars
· Recirculate and refresh indoor air.
· Increase thermal comfort for personnel.
· Protect aircraft and maintenance equipment.
· Deliver consistent cool air throughout the facility.
· Consume 30% less energy than traditional air conditioning systems.
· Reduce operational costs.
· Operate silently thanks to gearless design.
· Help remove odors and airborne pollutants from aircraft engines.
Winter Climate Control: HVLS + Radiant Heating
In cold months, combining HVLS fans with radiant heating systems (infrared and gas-powered ceiling panels) ensures even heat distribution and minimizes thermal losses. By operating HVLS fans in reverse mode, warm air from the ceiling is redistributed throughout the space, improving efficiency and saving energy.
Before installation, Anemoi Fans conducts a detailed study to determine the best model, optimal placement, coverage, estimated energy savings, and payback time for the investment.
