At a recent Fabtech convention, many visitors to our booth told us the same thing: “We’d really like a large fan in our facility, but we can’t—we weld.”
It’s a common belief that airflow from large, overhead fans disperses shielding gases, which can lower weld quality. But, by avoiding industrial fans altogether, facilities could be missing out on more than just summer cooling—fans can also help disperse welding fumes, control condensation and reduce heating costs in winter by pushing heat back toward the floor.
