RDF **HVLS fans for playgrounds and sports fields** move up to 15,197 m3/min over the covered zone using an **IP64 gearless drive** rated for dust and splash, at under 39 dB(A). ## Why projects specify this RDF HVLS fan - **IP64 sealed, gearless motor** tolerates the dust, rain splash and humidity of open-sided covered venues. - **~1,450 m2 per 1.3 kW fan** makes canopy-level coverage of courts and spectator zones viable where ducted AC never could be. - **Low-speed safety profile** above active play areas, with triple-bolt anti-drop hub and safety cable. - **Comfort for intermittent crowds** - switch on before events; disperse venue heat that builds under metal roofs all afternoon. - **Both 220 V and 380 V versions** to match municipal school or stadium power supplies. ## 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. ## Semi-outdoor design considerations These installations are engineered as covered-environment fans, not weather-exposed units: the IP64 motor tolerates splash and dust but the fan should remain under a permanent canopy with the electrical connection made to outdoor-rated local code. Grandstands, swimming-pool enclosures and covered play courts are the typical scope. Layout follows the shade structure: 6.2-7.2 m fans under high canopy roofs (8-15 m), 4.2-5.2 m units under lower school walkway and play-shelter roofs. We recommend confirming wind exposure and mounting structure with our engineering drawing before ordering for coastal or high-wind sites wind-load assessment documentation can be arranged for export projects upon request. ## 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 HVLS fan for playgrounds, sports fields and covered venues - **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.

It is IP64 rated for dust and splash and intended for covered or semi-outdoor spaces - a permanent roof or canopy is required. It is not rated for direct rain exposure or free-standing pole mounting. ### Does wind interfere with it? In open-sided venues cross-winds alter the local air pattern but do not harm the fan; structure and controller are designed for normal building wind conditions. High-wind regions require a structural check, which we support with mounting drawings. ### How many fans does a covered five-a-side pitch need? Typically one 7.2 m fan covers the court zone from a 9-12 m canopy; two 6.2-6.7 m units are used where the roof is lower or the pitch spans two bays. A canopy drawing is enough for a layout proposal. ### What power supply do school venues use? Both 220 V single-phase and 380 V three-phase are available from 6.2 m upward; municipal venues more often have three-phase, smaller school canopies single-phase. ## Related products - [HVLS Fans for Gyms & Sports Halls](/product/hvls-fans-for-gyms-sports-halls/) - [7.2 m HVLS Fan (PMSM Direct-Drive)](/product/7-2m-hvls-ceiling-fan-pmsm-direct-drive/) - [Portable Evaporative Air Cooler (18Y/20H)](/product/portable-evaporative-air-cooler-18y-20h/) ## 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.
