Power Tubes
Efficiently direct and control airflow distribution across large areas with power tubes
Power tubes are fabric air duct systems custom-designed to efficiently control airflow distribution over large areas by moving and directing air through a custom-vented tube powered by a high-velocity fan. One fan can send airflow across multiple workstations or down an assembly line to several workers at floor level. By placing 3” holes the length of the tubes, employees experience air movement without having to stand directly in front of a high-velocity fan.
Power Tubes allow you to use a single fan in situations where, otherwise, several fans would be required. This helps maintain a low-profile position by not obstructing operational floor space, allowing production to run smoothly and efficiently. Power Tubes are economical, even during the winter months, keeping the air destratified. Destratification occurs by mixing the warm air trapped near the ceiling with the cooler air below to create a balanced temperature, thus reducing the strain on your HVAC system.
There are two ways to use a power tube for destratification:
- Use a vertically mounted fan and an open-ended tube if ceiling space is limited. This can also be used for spot-heating specific areas.
- Place a standard horizontally mounted power tube near the ceiling. Workers at floor level will feel the warmth rather than the breeze. Use this method if a large ceiling fan is out of your budget.
The benefits of power tubes include:
- Improved energy efficiency through better air distribution.
- Redistribution of warmer air from one area of your facility to another.
- Customized tube configurations that can maneuver around obstacles.
- Move trapped heat at rates of up to 12,000 CFM.
