1.2 Users
In principle, the Verti-Fan is not controlled directly, but by a user/operator via a control cabinet. These
users/operators must be at least 18 years old, employed by the company where the Verti-Fan is
installed, and designated by the management as competent and authorized to operate the Verti-Fan.
Unintentional users are any users who do not meet the above definition. Unintentional users are all
users who, by using the Verti-Fan, create unsafe situations or danger to themselves or others.
1.3 Use
The Verti-Fan is designed for vertical air circulation in greenhouses, to improve the homogeneity of
temperatures at different heights.
The Verti-Fan is not intended to be used for any other purposes than that described above, and is not
designed for the transport of gases other than air within a temperature range of -10 °C to + 50 °C.
1.4 Authorized servicers
The Verti-Fan may be serviced by any maintenance company, but Van der Ende Group is preferred
because of this company’s thorough knowledge of the Verti-Fan.
Periodic servicing can help avoid unnecessary costs or failures, and improve reliability.
1.5 Operating environment
The Verti-Fan should be installed on the lowest beam of the truss in the greenhouse. There must be at
least 300 mm clearance on the suction side of the fan. If a shade screen is used, this means that the
fan has to be installed lower than the lowest truss, and the mounting brackets adapted. It must not be
possible to touch the ventilator without special equipment, and the beam must be in good enough
condition to bear the weight of the fan.
The Verti-Fan is not intended to be used in any environment other than that described above. The
Verti-Fan is not suitable for use in explosive environments.
