Often it can\u2019t be, because there\u2019s too little space or it costs too much. The solu\u00adtion is often a retrofit. This involves upgrading indi\u00advidual venti\u00adlation units with more powerful and effi\u00adcient fans. After all, this type of upgrade has a lot of poten\u00adtial. Every adap\u00adta\u00adtion makes the system more energy-effi\u00adcient, quieter and, of course, more durable.<\/p>\n<p>But not every fan helps every system. Impor\u00adtant factors, such as the required instal\u00adla\u00adtion space, air volume and the static pres\u00adsure loss in the device, must there\u00adfore be taken into account during a retrofit. Depending on the project, external influ\u00adences, such as temper\u00ada\u00adture or explo\u00adsive envi\u00adron\u00adments, also play a role. In some situ\u00ada\u00adtions, it is better to replace a large fan with several small fans.<\/p>\n<p>A fan wall or FanGrid like this not only makes instal\u00adla\u00adtion, subse\u00adquent main\u00adte\u00adnance and repairs easier, but also protects against fail\u00adures, because if there are prob\u00adlems with one fan, the others compen\u00adsate for its power. FanGrids are very flex\u00adible, easy to handle, and their inte\u00adgrated vibra\u00adtion sensors mean that they are also resis\u00adtant to poten\u00adtial crit\u00adical vibra\u00adtion reso\u00adnances from neigh\u00adboring fans.<\/p>\n<p>A retrofit offers partic\u00adular poten\u00adtial for savings if the retrofit enables the air flow to be regu\u00adlated as required. For example, it is possible to adapt day and night rhythms. Over the course of the year, energy savings of 30 to 40, and some\u00adtimes over 50 percent, are possible. As these are direct-drive fans without belts, there is no abra\u00adsion: the system remains clean and ensures a higher air quality. And that also makes people in the surrounding area happier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just because a venti\u00adlation system is old doesn\u2019t mean it has to be replaced straight away.
