	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Airius, LLC; HVAC Fans, destratification fans, ceiling fans, commercial ceiling fans, industrial ceiling fans, air curtains. This section is based on the products of Airius, LLC, which is located at: 811 S. Sherman St. Longmont, CO 80501 Tel: 303-772-2633 Fax: 303-772-8276 Email: request info Web: www.theairpear.com [ Click Here ] for additional information. The Air Pear Thermal Equalizer is designed to equalize the layers of hot and cold air in facilities with high ceilings. This state-of-the-art energy saving product is designed to create a more pleasant indoor environment and to reduce total energy consumption, which results in significant annual cost savings. The Air Pear is an extremely efficient air turbine that is suspended at the top of the space. Each unit takes in resident hot ceiling air and silently transports it to the floor in the form of an almost imperceptible air column. During the heating season, thermal equalization creates a more thermally pleasant environment while reducing heating system cycle times and intensity. During the cooling season in non-conditioned spaces, air speed is increased to create enough air movement for occupants to perceive a cooling effect. During the cooling season in conditioned spaces, there are reduced startup loads, short cycling, and wear on the air conditioning system. 0-static pressure motor data provided by fan manufacturer. Subject to change at any time. May be covered by one or more of the following United States Patents: 7,381,129 B2; D514688. Other patents pending.
