Panel Fans
Panel and ring fans are configured for wall-mounted ventilation, exhaust, and process cooling in industrial facilities. Available in direct drive and belt drive configurations from Hartzell Air Movement and Cincinnati Fan, these fans cover a wide range of CFM requirements and duty classes — from general plant exhaust to data center CRAH unit cooling.
- CFM: up to 327,000 CFM
- Fan Size: 12″ to 144″
- Drive Type: Direct drive, belt drive
- Airflow Direction: Standard flow, reverse flow; fully reversible
- Duty Class: G (General Industrial), H (Heavy Industrial)
- Motor Options: Standard enclosed, EC motor, explosion-proof available
- Applications: Plant exhaust, make-up air, CRAH/CRAC unit cooling, drying, lo-noise ventilation
Panel fans are the workhorses of industrial ventilation: high-volume, wall-mountable, and available in configurations that match specific pressure, noise, and duty requirements. JEPCO supplies panel and ring fans for applications ranging from general plant exhaust to data center CRAH unit replacement, with direct drive and belt drive options from 12 to 144 inches.
Key Highlights:
- AMCA-certified fans available in ring and panel configurations, direct drive and belted
- Up to 40,000 – 327,000 CFM for CRAH and CRAC unit cooling
- G-duty and H-duty construction options for general industrial and heavy industrial applications

How Do You Select the Right Fan for an Industrial Application?
Panel fan selection starts with three variables: required CFM, static pressure, and available mounting space. The wrong configuration for the duty class or drive type leads to premature failure, excess noise, or undersized airflow.
- Hartzell Air Movement direct drive Series 02S/02R covers 12″ to 60″ in standard and reverse flow configurations
- Low-noise Series 09S/09R uses airfoil blades to reduce noise intensity, available in 24″ to 60″ sizes
- Cincinnati Fan Model PF targets lower pressure CRAH/CRAC applications with up to 40,000 CFM output

- JEPCO provides layout, selection, and CAD documentation to eliminate field modification during installation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a ring fan and a panel fan?
Ring fans mount inside a circular orifice ring and are ideal for wall openings, while panel fans use a square mounting flange that bolts directly to a wall panel or frame.
When should I choose a belt drive panel fan over a direct drive model?
Belt drive configurations allow motor speed adjustment through pulley changes, which is useful when precise airflow tuning is required or when the motor needs to stay outside the airstream in paint spray, high-heat, or corrosive environments.
What does AMCA certification mean for panel fan performance data?
AMCA-certified ratings are tested and verified to AMCA Standard 211, meaning published CFM and static pressure curves reflect actual measured performance rather than calculated estimates.
Can Hartzell Air Movement’s panel fans handle reversing airflow for drying or intake/exhaust switching?
Yes. Hartzell Air Movement’s Series 14 and 14B reversible ring fans provide 100% airflow efficiency in both directions using cast aluminum reversible airfoil propellers and fully reversible welded construction.
