Evel is born from the idea to merge, in a long lasting and winning mix, most advanced brushless motor technologies, aerodynamics performances from best airfoil design, and “Made in Italy” technology and imagination. Company target is to be the leader in HVLS fan business through huge investment in product development and system efficiency.
Interview with Nicola Masarati, Sales Manager at Evel Srl.
Easy Engineering: Which are your best-selling products / solutions?
Nicola Masarati: HVLS (High Volume Low Speed [of air]) fans, “giant helicopter ceiling fans” (up to 7,00 m as diameter).
E.E: Why do users choose your products / solutions?
N.M: The HVLS fans can be installed easier comparing to a duct A/C system, they are cheaper and they can be used even during the winter as destratifiers to increase the energy efficiency. The consumption of energy is comparable to a LED bulb lamp and they can be installed progressively on existing heating/cooling systems.
E.E: What special features do your products / solutions have?
N.M: Slowly rotating at low rpm, HVLS fans of EVEL can create an air flow up to 850.00 m3/h and they can reach about 4 times their diameter, in all directions. This kind of fans can reduce the perceived temperature up to 6°C during the summer and save heating cost on average 30% during the winter, moreover they decrease the proliferation of viruses, bacteria and molds. It’s possible to manage them by remote and they are mechanical maintenance free.
E.E: Tell us a short tutorial of how a task is done more efficiently with one of your products / solutions.
N.M: During the summer period the operators can improve the productivity in the industrial plant thanks to the better climate condition and the entrepreneur can save up to 30% in heating system costs thanks to the destratification effect.
E.E: How did your products / solutions improve efficiency for the users overall?
N.M: Increasing and improving the climate conditions of a big industrial or commercial environment the HVLS of EVEL grants a better efficiency for the users.
E.E: Give us some examples of projects in which your products / solutions were used?
N.M: There are several places where our HVLS can be installed: industrial plant, gyms, box CrossFit, Car Dealers, Airport Halls and hangar, Commercial Center… basically in every large environment.
E.E: What products / solutions were used in these projects?
N.M: HVLS fans with different diameters according to the installation layout that our Tech. Dep. issues. We offer always a tailor-made solution.
E.E: What was the feedback from users?
N.M: The best one, considering that they used to suggest to others entrepreneurs to install our solutions made with HVLS fans.
E.E: How can users work more sustainably with your products / solutions?
N.M: Refresh a big environment with an average power absorption of 3/400 Watt or save up to the 30% on the heating costs during the winter is really a sustainable way to face our time being.
E.E: What are your forecasts for the first half of 2023?
N.M: Very optimistic since we have issued 75% more projects comparing to the same period of 2022… if the trend will go ahead like this, we really hope to achieve our goals into 2023.
