Posted on November 30th, 2007 in Window by fan

Small window exhaust fan systems are simple to install and easy to use. On a hot summer night, they provide an effective means of creating a cool breeze inside your house. This type of a cooling system is basically an electric fan that can be mounted on small windows to draw out stale indoor air and bring in fresh air from outside through an open window or door. The blade of window fans typically range from 8 inches to 20 inches. Some models are capable of manually or electrically reversing the rotation of the blades to switch from exhaust to intake mode.
 
Small window exhaust fan systems are very popular in most European countries and other parts elsewhere in the world where strict heritage preservation laws prohibit the punching of holes on the wall or roof of old buildings to install ventilation ports and exhaust stacks. Many residents simply install small window fan exhaust systems to remove stale indoor air without damaging or disturbing the architectural design of residential heritage buildings.
 
In many highly urbanized population centers, building condominium rules or municipal ordinances also forbid the installation of other types of exhaust fan systems. In these crowded cities, the small window exhaust fan system has also become an increasingly popular means to remove cooking gasses from kitchens. Apartment designers have also thoughtfully made provisions for these restrictions by introducing small windows in bathrooms, where window fans can later be installed by the occupant.
 
The number of ways and locations where small window exhaust fan systems can be installed in your house is limited only by your imagination. If your basement workplace has small hopper windows, you could install a unit of the window exhaust fan to remove unwanted odors, moisture, smoke and fumes from your workbench. The small window exhaust fan system can also be installed in the attic to effectively circulate cooling air within the house through doors and open windows, particularly when the outside air is much cooler than the indoor air.

The many features of small window exhaust fan systems now rival that of room air conditioners. The wide array of window fan models include different sizes and number of aeronautically designed single or twin blades that can push or pull the air at the flick of a switch. The volume of air to be circulated indoors can also be controlled through two or three speed settings. Models with thermostat or timer controls are also available to free the homeowner from manually switching it on or off whenever the indoor air temperature rises. This simple yet highly efficient energy saving window fan is fast gaining acceptance across the world.

Why Maintain Your Restaurant Exhaust Fan?

Posted on November 28th, 2007 in Industrial by fan

Dining out means more than just satisfying a hungry stomach to a lot of people. In many cultures, the restaurant serves as the unofficial venue for cementing relationships, closing a business deal or establishing a lasting bond with friends and relatives. In many ways, the restaurant becomes the second home or second office of its customers. That is why the restaurant owner who intends to stay long in the business strives to provide his customers good food, excellent service, clean and comfortable surroundings. To achieve this, he has to have a great kitchen crew; a courteous wait staff and a well maintained restaurant exhaust fan system.

Perhaps, you are wondering what a restaurant exhaust fan got to do with satisfying customers. When the indoor air in a restaurant is stale and stuffy or polluted with cigarette smoke and cooking fumes, the customers become uncomfortable, and no matter how good the service or delicious the food is, they tend to lose their appetite. And the next time around that they go out to eat, they will certainly go elsewhere. The simple installation of a restaurant exhaust fan to vent the dining room and kitchen will do wonders in the quality of indoor air in the restaurant and in making for happy plates.

A restaurant exhaust fan comes in different types and brands. An “in-line” exhaust fan is installed in the exhaust duct, which is located inside the restaurant. This type of exhaust fan is used when it can not be mounted anywhere outside the restaurant. An “upblast” exhaust fan, on the other hand, is installed directly on top of the exhaust stack, which goes all the way from the kitchen to the roof of the restaurant. A restaurant exhaust fan for kitchen ventilation must be strong and durable enough to withstand hot streams of grease laden air from the ovens.

As a result of the constant exposure of the restaurant exhaust fan to cooking gasses, grease builds up on the fan affecting its efficiency and become a fire hazard. Chunks of grease on the fan cause aerodynamic imbalance and vibration on the ventilation system. Grease covered fans are also fire accidents waiting to happen. Cooking flare ups may cause fire to lap, at and ignite the grease on the hood. The fan will then suck the fire up through the grease covered ducts and up the roof. It behooves on restaurant owners to include degreasing and cleaning of their restaurant exhaust fan system as part of their regular maintenance procedures and customer service program.
