The Big Fan

Last week, the big fan that drives the air flow through the building was delivered (see attached picture). If you remember when we were doing the work on the foundation about two years ago, there were large (about 6’) underground tubes. This fan is placed at the mouth of the tubes to drive the air.

The big fan isn’t needed so much to drive hot air. We have a lot of radiant heat built into the floors of Huntsman Hall. The radiant heat is connected to the steam plant that services the entire Logan campus. But the big fan is needed to drive the air conditioning when needed.

Not much else to say – except it’s a big fan!
