Ventilation solutions in limited spaces

Fantech Jetstream

The challenge of creating comfortable living spaces in apartments is made easier with a new package from Fantech.

Fantech Engineering Manager Kerry Dumicich said one of the prime design objectives for the Jetstream series was to produce a slimline fan that was quieter than similar products on the market. Both the Jetstream and Mixvent series meet these criteria.

Space is very limited in apartment design and Fantech has created a complete apartment ventilation system that requires very little head room – 235 millimetres for the JCE152 and 268mm for the 202 models.

Energy consumption has also been considered.

The single speed JCE152-1 can be speed controlled while the JCE152-3 and JCE202-3 models are three-speed. In addition, the aerodynamic design means the fan has exceptional airflow and impressive acoustic performance.

The Mixvent series is very flexible, with fans able to be installed as single-stage fans or arranged in parallel, in series or both parallel and series to enable higher air flow and pressure demands to be met without compromising head height.

Mr Dumicich said a revolutionary low-pressure backdraft damper had been developed for use with any of the fans in the apartment ventilation system. “Designed so that the resistance to airflow is a fraction of spring-loaded butterfly types, the patented Smooth Flow damper ensures optimum performance from the fan,” he said.
