Researching PPV Fans & Blowers
For those comparing and shopping for PPV fans, here are links to all known PPV Fan / Fire Fan / Ventilation Blower manufacturers’ websites. It is so important to compare both the fans and the companies who make them carefully before choosing safety equipment such as PPV. All fans are NOT created equal!
Before you buy, it makes sense to start with the published materials, however, these can be misleading (see below*). If at all possible, please do side-by-side comparisons; Ventry Solutions, Inc will work with you to arrange demos and possibly free trials. Whichever fan you ultimately choose should last decades; don’t suffer with sub-par safety equipment.

2 WARNINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN SHOPPING
When comparing fans, there are two things you need to know, in order to avoid being misinformed on PPV Fans.
- CFM values are measured differently by all manufacturers, so comparing them is largely meaningless. In-person testing is best.
- Several fan manufacturers are using old, inflated, pre-2007 horsepower values, making it hard to tell if you are comparing apples to apples. Motor horsepower ratings changed in 2007.
