Air Movers, what to use

AIR MOVERS

Air movers- what type to use.

What type of air movers should be used in a water loss?

Depending on your drying situations the requirements change. You need different amounts of airflow and pressure.  Because of the variety of situations encountered in restorative dying a range of air-mover types have been developed to suit each individual need.

Carpet Dryers (high velocity air movers) are the most common type

High Pressure (HP) carpet dryers are specialized carpet dryers, fitted with a higher horsepower motor. They are best used for powering for vent/manifold systems
Low pressure axial air-movers are specialized air movers used to move large volumes of air with low amp draw. They are used most often during in-place drying.

High pressure axial air-movers, commonly called ventilation fans, are used to move large volumes of air through duct work.

Inter-air drying systems are used to dry cavities such as under cabinets, wall cavities and under hardwood floors.
