The mini air movers, we have one pallet left and that's it due to the manufacturer going out of business
☹️


We've also reduced the price even further for you, just £59.99+vat until they're gone.

Hi,
Maybe a daft question but do the blowers blow out warm air or circulate the air in the room without heating it?

Nick, I use similar sized vacmaster air movers. They are £50 each. can you do anything to match (or better) the prices of these?

Airflow across a damp surface greatly accelerates evaporation. If at the same time this airflow is used to export damp air from the area being dried, perhaps out a door or window l then the drying process is further accelerated. This applies regardless of air temperature.
Would there be an increased efficiency with heat?

At the end of the day

You need to remove the moisture from the fabrics and get it out of the room/building before it gets re absorbed again and cause you problems.

The way I understand it.....

2 things evaporation is effected by in your question joseph

Air flow

Heat


Heating the air will allow it to hold more moisture, and the warmer the liquid the same happens with ease of evaporation

Having a high airflow with a fan will enable the moisture to more easily move away with the airflow and evaporate quicker than no airflow

So yes it does.

However, having a fan and window open is easier than having to heat up a room and have a fan with a window open at the same time

As the heated fans that have a decent airflow are used to heat massive tents and run of lpg.

Joseph,

Jacob has (as usual) answered well.

Whilst heat provides the kinetic energy to increase molecular excitation thereby empowering a greater number of water molecules to break free of the surface by the transition between the liquid to the gaseous states, the situation is not quite that simple.

Firstly, the process uses kinetic energy, therefore the surface cools.

Secondly, by having the forced ventilation of high airflow and open windows, the room air temperature is reduced.

So the best approach to speed drying of rooms is to first provide the airflow and ventilation whilst and immediately after working, then room heat after we leave.

To add to the excellent replies above, I would also say that there is not enough power available through a 13 amp plug to give both heat and a significant airflow. Just look at the strength of the "blow" from a fan heater. It's very low. To increase the airflow to 1000, 2000 or 3000+ CFMs would require a much, much bigger electrical power supply system, hence, as pointed out by Jacob, a reason why industrial heaters use LPG to supply the heat.

Constantly moving air at room temperature is more than enough to fit our needs. By applying the knowledge and techniques gained from experience and good training, the use of forced drying is rarely required.

Safe and happy cleaning:smile:
