A 24ft diameter, NASA inspired fan design is proving enormously effective at saving energy for specialist materials manufacturer Wardle Storeys at its manufacturing facility in Earby, Lancashire. Key to the system’s success is the innovative fan design coupled to an equally innovative control system supplied by Mitsubishi, ensuring the fans are always running at the optimum speed.
