The Patterson H18B high-velocity industrial fan is designed to move large volumes of air for targeted cooling in demanding spaces. This 18-inch, direct-drive unit operates from 208–230/460 V three-phase power and delivers up to 3,800 CFM with a 1/2 HP motor, supporting heavy-duty cooling tasks in environments such as pick modules, short trailers, and multiple work stations. The fan is constructed with a high-impact polypropylene housing and galvanized aluminum blades, and it features welded steel finger guards for enhanced safety. Its deep venturi inlet and outlet design promote an even, undisturbed air column, while the side-vented barrel helps optimize airflow across the discharge path. A maintenance-free TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) motor with sealed bearings reduces upkeep and downtime, aligning with environments where reliability is critical. The unit is supplied with a yoke mount bracket for flexible installation options and can be mounted as a column, free-standing, or wall-mounted, depending on the workspace needs.
In practical terms, this fan’s 80-foot air throw makes it suitable for directing cooling across longer work lines or into closed-off areas where diffuse airflow is less effective. The non-oscillating design focuses airflow in a single vector, which can be advantageous for spot cooling or directing air to equipment and personnel in specific zones. The use of corrosion-resistant powder coating and recessed finger guards contributes to safer operation in industrial settings, while the overall footprint and 44 lb weight balance portability with stability. This model is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 104°F and uses galvanized blades to withstand demanding use while maintaining efficient performance over time.
