The Patterson V-Series HVLS Ceiling Fan, PATV20B-230, is a high-volume, low-speed ceiling air mover designed for large spaces. With a 20-foot diameter, it quietly circulates large volumes of air to help improve comfort and reduce floor-level heat or moisture buildup. Its direct-drive setup eliminates gearboxes, reducing maintenance while minimizing weight and mechanical complexity. The large blade span and contoured wingstips are engineered to maximize downward, effective airflow, contributing to a steadier indoor climate without excessive noise.
Key design features include forward, reverse, and variable speed operation to adapt airflow for different seasons and occupancy patterns. The unit is equipped with a VFD-controlled, IP66-rated environment for the drive and an IP54 motor, indicating suitability for indoor spaces and covered outdoor areas where exposure to moisture is a consideration. A multiple-tier safety system provides protection appropriate for demanding industrial settings, helping operators manage installation and ongoing use in facilities with wide-open floor plans.
In practical terms, this fan supports large facilities by moving air across expansive areas—up to approximately 20,000 square feet of effective coverage—while keeping sound levels manageable (<42 dB in typical conditions). With a 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) motor operating on 208–230 V three-phase power, the system is sized to deliver substantial air movement without consuming excessive electrical demand. The product is designed for industrial spaces where ceiling-mounted airflow can improve comfort, reduce moisture-related slip risks, and contribute to more even temperatures, potentially lowering energy costs when used as part of a broader climate-control strategy.
