Hangars are vast, high-ceiling spaces where aircraft maintenance, inspections, and assembly take place. In such environments, heat, humidity, and stagnant air can hinder worker comfort, reduce productivity, and compromise safety. For Malaysian Flying Academy, two massive 24-foot ultra-large energy-saving HVLS fans, powered by PMSM technology, are playing a pivotal role in maintaining a cool, comfortable, and safer workspace for engineers and technicians during maintenance tasks.

Why HVLS fans are essential in hangars

Large-scale Air Movement for Expansive Spaces

Hangars cover thousands of square feet with tall ceilings, making traditional cooling methods inefficient. HVLS (High-Volume, Low-Speed) fans move large volumes of air at low rotational speeds, creating a gentle, continuous air exchange that reduces stagnant air and heat buildup.

Effective cooling without aggressive climate control

Air conditioning in hangars is often energy-intensive and costly due to the size and heat load generated by aircraft and equipment. HVLS fans provide a practical cooling solution that lowers perceived temperature through improved air circulation and evaporation, decreasing the need for excessive cooling while maintaining worker comfort.

Improved comfort and productivity

Comfortable workers are more focused, accurate, and productive. By mitigating heat stress, tremors of fatigue, and discomfort, HVLS fans help sustain performance during demanding maintenance tasks.

Quieter operation and reduced fatigue

At their designed low rotational speeds, ultralarge fans generate less noise and disruptive drafts, contributing to a calmer, more focused work environment.

Lower total cost of ownership

Although initial investment is higher, the long-term energy savings, reduced need for constant climate control, and lower maintenance frequency translate to lower operating costs over time.
