The RDF **energy-saving industrial ceiling fan** uses a 0.66-1.3 kW gearless PMSM drive to move 4,522-15,197 m3/min, typically consuming **less than 1 kWh per hour per fan** in comfort operation and replacing rows of 0.5-1 kW high-speed fans running all day. ## Why projects specify this RDF HVLS fan - **Summer: raise the effective AC setpoint.** Air movement of 1-2 m/s makes 30-32 C feel comfortable, letting compressor cooling run less - or not at all in semi-open buildings. - **Winter: destratify heat.** Slow reverse/low-speed operation pushes hot ceiling air back down, recovering heat that stratifies above 6-8 m in heated factories and warehouses. - **One fan instead of many.** A 7.2 m unit covers up to ~1,450 m2, removing both the combined kW and the maintenance of tens of small high-speed fans. - **0.66-1.3 kW installed power** with no inrush thanks to IPD soft start - friendly to transformers already loaded with production equipment. - **Payback counted in months** for multi-shift workshops running fans 16-24 hours a day; ask for a kWh comparison using your running hours and tariff. ## Technical specifications | Model | Diameter | Power supply | Current | Power | Max. speed | Max. airflow | Noise | Net weight | Coverage | | ----- | -------- | ------------ | ------- | ----- | ---------- | ------------ | ----- | ---------- | -------- | | RDF-S3600 | 3,600 mm (12 ft) | 220V/50Hz, 1-phase | 3.0 A | 0.66 kW | 90 rpm | 4,522 m3/min | <38 dB | 72 kg | O 20-24 m | | RDF-S4200 | 4,200 mm (14 ft) | 220V/50Hz, 1-phase | 3.0 A | 0.66 kW | 80 rpm | 5,306 m3/min | <38 dB | 75 kg | O 22-26 m | | RDF-S5200 | 5,200 mm (17 ft*) | 220V/50Hz, 1-phase | 3.0 A | 0.66 kW | 70 rpm | 7,065 m3/min | <39 dB | 78 kg | O 25-30 m | | RDF-B6200 | 6,200 mm (20 ft) | 220V/50Hz, 1-phase | 4.4 A | 1.3 kW | 65 rpm | 10,747 m3/min | <39 dB | 100 kg | O 32-37 m | | RDF-B6200 | 6,200 mm (20 ft) | 380V/50Hz, 3-phase | 3.0 A | 1.3 kW | 65 rpm | 10,747 m3/min | <39 dB | 100 kg | O 32-37 m | | RDF-B6700 | 6,700 mm (22 ft) | 220V/50Hz, 1-phase | 4.4 A | 1.3 kW | 60 rpm | 12,560 m3/min | <39 dB | 105 kg | O 35-40 m | | RDF-B6700 | 6,700 mm (22 ft) | 380V/50Hz, 3-phase | 3.0 A | 1.3 kW | 60 rpm | 12,560 m3/min | <39 dB | 105 kg | O 35-40 m | | RDF-H7200 | 7,200 mm (24 ft) | 220V/50Hz, 1-phase | 4.4 A | 1.3 kW | 55 rpm | 15,197 m3/min | <39 dB | 115 kg | O 38-44 m | | RDF-H7200 | 7,200 mm (24 ft) | 380V/50Hz, 3-phase | 3.0 A | 1.3 kW | 55 rpm | 15,197 m3/min | <39 dB | 115 kg | O 38-44 m | Airflow at maximum speed per the manufacturer type test; running speed is infinitely variable. The 5.2 m model's printed "14 ft" in the source brochure is a brochure typo; the manufacturer's Chinese-market spec table lists 5.2 m = 17 ft, the correct conversion. ## How the savings work Three mechanisms stack. First, direct mechanical efficiency: a slow, large rotor converts electricity into useful horizontal airflow far better than small fast fans. Second, comfort substitution: the evaporative breeze raises the temperature at which workers switch on compressor cooling. Third, winter heat destratification in high-bay heated buildings returns stratified heat to floor level. We prepare a simple savings worksheet from floor area, current fan inventory and running hours. For warehouses pairing HVLS movement with evaporative cooling, see our [evaporative cooler range](/product-category/evaporative-air-coolers/) - the two are commonly installed together. ## Backed by a specialist air-treatment manufacturer - 20+ years focused on evaporative cooling and large industrial fans; National High-Tech Enterprise and CRAA-listed manufacturer. - Deputy Director Unit of the national evaporative-cooling industry committee, with 40+ patents and self-developed, patented molds. - Product liability underwritten by CPIC (policy ADNGD0207121Q000109N); type-test, protection-grade and CE motor-conformity documentation supplied with export orders. - RDF equipment is published in service with automotive, food and electronics manufacturers including SAIC-GM-Wuling, FAW-Volkswagen, GAC Toyota/Honda, PepsiCo, Foxconn, Panasonic, Gree, Midea and Haier. ## Ordering the energy-saving industrial HVLS ceiling fan - **MOQ:** 10 units - **Lead time:** 10 units in about 5 days; 100 units in about 20 days; 500 units in about 60 days - schedule varies by model and production plan, confirmed per order - **Trade terms:** FOB Shenzhen - **Payment:** T/T - 35% deposit, 65% balance paid before shipment - **Warranty:** 2-year warranty on the complete unit per the factory's warranty policy: motor 2 years, controller 2 years.

The 3.6-5.2 m models are 0.66 kW nameplate and 6.2-7.2 m models 1.3 kW at maximum speed. Comfort operation sits below maximum, so under 1 kWh/h is realistic; factory test data is in the specification table. ### Will it reduce my air-conditioning bill? In conditioned spaces the perceived cooling allows a setpoint typically 2-4 C higher without comfort loss, and the fan uses a fraction of compressor power. In open workshops it can defer compressor cooling entirely. ### Does reverse operation in winter actually save heating? Yes in buildings above about 6 m where warm air stratifies at the roof. Low-speed reverse gently returns that air to floor level; savings depend on heating type and ceiling height. ### What is the payback period? It varies with tariff and run hours; multi-shift industrial users typically recover cost within one to two cooling seasons. We provide a calculation with every quotation rather than a universal percentage. ## Related products - [PMSM Servo HVLS Ceiling Fan](/product/pmsm-servo-hvls-ceiling-fan/) - [HVLS Fans for Factories](/product/hvls-fans-for-factories/) - [HVLS Fans for Warehouses](/product/hvls-fans-for-warehouses/) - [Large-Diameter HVLS Ceiling Fan](/product/large-diameter-hvls-ceiling-fan/) ## More from TierCooling - [View installed project references](/projects/) - [About the manufacturer](/about/) - [All products in this category](/product-category/hvls-ceiling-fans/) ## FAQ ### What does HVLS mean? High Volume, Low Speed: large-diameter ceiling fans that move a very large air volume at low rotational speed, covering big floor areas with gentle, even airflow instead of concentrated high-speed blasts. ### Why choose a PMSM direct-drive HVLS fan? Permanent-magnet synchronous motors with direct drive run at high efficiency with fewer wearing parts than geared designs - meaning lower energy use, quieter operation and less maintenance over the fan's life. ### Which sites use HVLS ceiling fans? Typical applications include factories, warehouses, gyms and sports halls, markets and malls, playgrounds and sports fields, and livestock farms - any large space where uniform airflow and lower energy cost matter. ### How is fan size and unit count decided? Selection comes from floor area, mounting height and the obstruction layout of the site; suppliers model diameter and placement from drawings so airflow reaches working zones evenly.
