This
WhisperGreen™ model features built-in intelligence called SmartFlow™ Optimum CFM
Technology. This unique "electronic-brain" lets the fan do what was once thought
to be impossible, perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other
factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreen™ fan faces
static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired
CFM is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated and makes for
easier installation because the installer no longer has to worry as much about
compromising the fan's performance.
This
fan is equipped with a CustomVent™ Variable Speed Control. This allows the fan
to run continuously at a pre-set lower level of 30-70 CFMs that can then be
elevated to a maximum of 80 CFMs when the switch is turned on, or via the
SmartAction™ Motion Sensor . A High/Low delay timer(adjustable from 30
seconds - 60 minutes), will then return the fan to the minimum CFM level after a
period of time set by the user.
This
WhisperCeiling™ model features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large,
double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast
will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given
airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at
reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides,
which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the
wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's
on.
This
fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years
thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors
which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor
life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed
the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to
operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings.
And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to
protect it from rust.
Detachable
adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"),
fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all
lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a
double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.
Energy
Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt
efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify
products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy.
As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled
accordingly.
This
Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent
outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool
running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat-a common
problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light
combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan
housing to prevent heat from escaping.
