Exhaust Fan Specifics
As growers we know the plants need heat in the early part of the season. However, it is also important to consider the other end of the temperature curve and ensure there are methods of cooling the plant environment.
The fan utilized in the structure is a 42” Dayton outdoor mobile air circulator. It has two settings which allowed some flexibility. The low setting (9,000cfm) was the default and the high setting (15,000cfm) was used when temperatures were predicted to be 85+F for daytime highs to help move as much air through the structure as possible.
Fan Specifications:
The large yellow fan is a Dayton outdoor mobile air circulator that has 42” diameter blades and two speeds. On low it will it will run 9,000cfm at 4.6 Amps and on high 15,000cfm at 5.3 Amps. This is an industrial air circulator that has a water-resistant motor which is important because of the mist cooling system I have installed will result in a consistently high humid environment.
