Patterson CW18B High Velocity Fan is a rugged, industrial-grade cooling solution designed for large spaces in factories and warehouses. This 18-inch diameter, direct-drive unit offers a powerful airflow with a venturi-designed barrel and side air inlets that help project and entrain air across substantial distances, aiding circulation in aisles, workstations, and staging areas. The fan is built with a high-impact polypropylene housing reinforced by heavy-gauge steel, and comes with OSHA-compliant steel finger guards for added safety in active work environments. It is available in multiple voltages (115V–460V) and can be configured with a maintenance-free, long-life sealed motor, making it suitable for varied facility electrical setups and reducing downtime for maintenance. The CW18B also supports optional oscillation and a selection of mounting options, including the capacity to be wall- or column-mounted, enabling flexible installation to address hot spots or stagnant zones.
In practice, Patterson fans excel at boosting air movement to control condensation, improve worker comfort, and maintain a healthier work area without necessitating additional service downtime. The unit’s notable 3‑blade propeller and 1/2 HP power rating contribute to an airflow capable of moving substantial air volume, with measurements indicating up to 3800 CFM and an effective air throw extending around 80 feet under suitable conditions. The design prioritizes reliability in busy environments, and the product is offered with a two-year warranty for purchaser confidence. When selecting this model, consider canopy and mounting options, required voltage, and whether an oscillator kit is desired to broaden the zone of airflow across work areas.
