Plenum Fans



 

Models QEM and QEP plenum fans are designed and engineered to provide superior performance and reliability in commercial or industrial applications. Our products are manufactured with

state of the art laser, forming, spinning and welding equipment and endure our quality control testing to ensure trouble free start-up.

Plenum fans are designed to handle a variety of commercial and industrial projects. They are designed for unhoused operation which results in a savings of the space normally occupied by the

fan housing. Additional space savings are realized when multiple duct takeoffs are required. Ductwork is connected directly to the pressurized plenum without intermediate transitions. Typical applications include:

Advantages of the QEM vs. QEP

Greenheck offers two solutions for your plenum design needs. The QEM is a cost effective solution for performances in class I and most of class II as well. Fan selection is simplified with one fan design for belt drive and another for direct drive, both

with motors mounted directly to the fan to reduce the fan’s footprint. #PUIBSSBOHFNFOUTDPWFSUIFFOUJSF2&.PQFSBUJOHSBOHF8IJMF the initial purchase cost of the QEM is lower than other plenum fans, the QEM still shares the exact same performance

benefits of the high end model QEP.

Model QEP can be utilized when customers demand a premium quality product, or need to reach performances in the class III operating range. In addition to sharing the same high-efficiency and low sound wheel design as the QEM, the QEP also features longer life L10 80,000 hour bearings, a powder coat finish, as well as a wider range of mounting options and accessories.
