However, efficient tilation ot the broiler house is important year round and some tips are listed below for increasing the efficiency of your fans and saving money. ven- Keep fans clean and lubricated and make sure belts are tight and in good repair Keep shutters clean and movmg freely A dirt build up on fan blades and shutters can reduce air flow by one thrid or more. When practical, run one fan continuously instead of using several fans that are triggered by time clocks. A tan on a 10-mmute cycle starts six tunes each hour, and the frequent start-ups boost electricity use and shorten motor life Do not control fan output by restricting the flow of air through the inlet opening This causes the fan to use slightly more power than necessary for air delivery Make sure electrical service to the broiler house is adequate Low voltage decreases motor efficiency and lite. Voltage drops can be prevented by using wire of the correct gauge in the motor. Wire capable of handling 240 V should be used wherever possible. Don’t operate exhaust fans while adjacent windows are open. Move the fans to the center Of the house during warm weather so they will create air turbulence. One may want to turn off exhaust fans and use other fans located in the center of the house Know the rating of a fan. All reputable fan manufacturers have their fans rated by the Air Moving and Conditioning Association. If the manufacturer can’t or won’t tell a customer the rating of a particular fan, it may be because it won’t deliver as much air as is claimed By following these recommendations energy and money can be saved. Also, the life of your fans and equipment may be extended.
