6 Applications

6.1 Sizing for Water Restoration Jobs

the FOCUS Technology corner. The Axial Air Mover sustains this air flow for more than 20 feet and maximizes the air velocity across the floor and along the wall when placed the at 4.5° angle from the wall.

By touching the front edge of the output side of the axial air mover against the wall and rotating the rest of the unit against the wall, the restoration professional will place the axial air mover at 4.5° due to the housing’s built-in design. Industry experts agree placing Axial Air Movers 45° angle to the wall wastes air flow and reduces the performance by forcing air up the wall.

Figure 5: 4.5° to wall as shown

Current industry standards call for one air mover per 10-16 linear feet of wall space, dependent upon the Class of wa- ter damage. For commercial structures, the industry stan- dard calls for one air mover for every 50-60 square feet.

The water restoration industry based these estimates on the air mover technology available when writing the stan- dards. Following these equipment-sizing standards when using the Phoenix Axial Air Mover will result in dramatically faster drying times. If the restoration professional desires to merely achieve industry standard drying times, he can use fewer Phoenix Axial Air Movers than standard equip- ment standards allow.

6.2 Placement

Current industry guidelines suggest placing air movers at a 15° - 45° angle to wall. These guidelines apply to air movers without FOCUS Technology. FOCUS Technology allows the restoration professional to place the Phoenix Axial Air Mover at an angle nearly parallel to the wall.

The best set up angle for quickly and completely drying the sill plate is 4.5°. Set-up angles greater than 4.5° may be used under unique circumstances such as corner air flow and structure variations. Set-up angle should never exceed 23°.

6.3 Orienting of Directional Drying System

The axial air mover dries in counter-clockwise and clockwise directions for optimum ease of use. The axial air mover ships with rubber feet on one side of the unit for counter-clockwise drying.

When the water restoration professional needs to employ clockwise drying (such as the need to dry a door jamb), simply rotate the axial air mover 90° so the FOCUS Technology corner points toward the door jamb and floor for the clockwise drying.
