TPI Corporation 20-inch Shuttered Industrial Exhaust Fan - 120V, Workshop Ventilation

The TPI Corporation CE 20-DS single-phase, 20-inch diameter direct drive exhaust fan boasts a built-in shutter mechanism, making it suitable for ventilating buildings to the outside. The blade assembly, comprising a steel hub and spider, holds three aluminum paddles enclosed by front steel spiral wire guards for added strength. This built-in shutter mechanism allows the fan to be installed without external framing, and the self-closing shutters protect the fan from rain and snow when not in operation.

Powered by a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor, this direct drive exhaust fan provides both starting torque and the ability to run at variable speeds. The motor is totally enclosed, making the fan suitable for use in environments where standard, unenclosed motors would not be suitable, such as in the presence of dust or other airborne debris.

Industrial fans, such as this TPI model, are commonly used in workplace environments to exhaust fumes or direct air flow. These fans typically feature coated metal parts and permanently sealed, lubricated motors to protect against environmental hazards like dirt, airborne debris, or corrosive fumes. They may also have fan blade cages that meet workplace safety standards and a variety of mounting mechanisms for precise placement to direct large volumes of air flow. The electronic circuitry of industrial fans is designed to match the power specifications found in the workplace and provide the initial torque needed to start up a large blade fan.

TPI Corporation, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Johnson City, TN, manufactures a wide range of industrial and commercial products, including electrical heaters, process heat ovens, ventilation products and fans, lighting equipment, and thermostatic controls.

This TPI exhaust fan boasts a durable construction, with the blade assembly consisting of a fan head and three aluminum paddles enclosed by spiral wire guards to provide strength. The self-closing shutter helps protect the fan from the effects of rain when not in operation. The fan is well-suited for ventilation applications, removing smoke, moist air, and other unpleasant odors, and is ideal for use in warehouses, gyms, and other commercial environments, as well as buildings with thin walls.

The 2.3-amp, 120-volt, single-phase, 1/4-horsepower motor provides the extra power needed for great results and efficient functioning, with the totally enclosed, permanently lubricated design featuring a permanent split capacitor (PSC) that helps ventilate the room quickly. The fan's pull chain switch provides a relaxed, user-friendly operating mechanism.

Finally, the built-in shutter mechanism allows for easy installation of this industrial fan without the need for external framing.
