The Revolutionary Flex-Wave™ Electric Fan from Flex-A-Lite® Produces 20 Percent More Airflow.
The revolutionary, patent-pending Flex-Wave™ electric fan from Flex-A-Lite® has greater airflow, is more efficient and is quieter than traditional S-blade and straight-blade designs. The Flex-Wave fan moves up to 20 percent more airflow than Flex-A-Lite Trimline fans, and up to 25 percent more airflow than the comparable electric fans from the competitors!
Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics software, Flex-A-Lite engineers developed a blade consisting of an aerodynamic profile flowing through a sine-wave path. The design was then prototyped and tested in a wind tunnel to verify increased airflow and improved efficiency.
More than having just a different look, the Flex-Wave electric-fan blade has several aerodynamic advantages for air movement:
- The leading edge of the fan blade is no longer a single, solid line. The sine-wave design creates leading edges that cut through the air first. This starts movement in the air around the blade with greater efficiency.
- The wave surface of the blades creates channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow and reducing energy losses.
- The wave surface forms a winglet at the tip of the blade, further increasing efficiency by reducing air vortices.
- The trailing edge of the fan blade also has variations, which reduces wind noise.
The all-new Flex-Wave electric fan is available in the following sizes:
Part No. Dimensions (inch) Air Flow (cfm)
- 236 16 × 16½ × 3¾ 2,660
- 234 14¼ × 14¾ × 3½ 1,900
- 232 12 × 13 × 3½ 1,325
