Abstract
Recently developed large high-volume, low-speed industrial ceiling fans, up to 7.2 m diameter, offer an energy-efficient means to providing summer comfort for workers in manufacturing facilities. Performance data for such fans relates to airflow across unobstructed floor space. Manufacturing facilities are likely to have numerous machines and other obstructions on the floor that would interfere with the airflow from such fans. The writer has conducted extensive testing of such fans in an industrial building at Lockheed Martin plant in Marietta, GA. These tests included some measurements of airflow around obstructions at floor level.
