The Patterson CS18A High Velocity Fan is a heavy-duty 18-inch, direct-drive unit designed to move air quickly in industrial settings such as warehouses, aisles, and staging areas. This fan combines a durable high-impact polypropylene housing with heavy-gauge steel construction and a patented Venturi-designed barrel to project and entrain airflow over substantial distances. With a 17-inch three-blade galvalume propeller turning at 1725 RPM, it delivers robust air movement while maintaining a relatively compact footprint for easy placement in work zones.
Key features support flexible, maintenance-free operation in demanding environments. The unit uses a maintenance-free, direct-drive motor with sealed bearings and a totally enclosed design, helping minimize downtime and service requirements. The CS18A offers multiple voltage options (115V–460V) and an accessible 12-foot power cord for 115V installations, along with eight mounting configurations and optional oscillator kits to tailor airflow to specific layouts. OSHA-compliant steel finger guards provide a basic level of operator protection where the fan is deployed, and the fan is available with side air intakes and a Varied diameter range per model to fit different spaces.
This fan is suitable for improving air circulation and condensation control in long aisles, workstations, and shipping or staging zones, contributing to a safer and more comfortable workspace. Practical considerations include ensuring electrical compatibility with available power, selecting an appropriate mounting method for the environment, and accounting for the coverage and air throw characteristics—about 80 feet in open spaces and up to 2,700 square feet of effective area as indicated by documented performance figures. The unit’s 2-year warranty offers assurance on construction and performance under typical industrial use.
