About Models 10, 15 and 25 The Air Pear unit is an energy efficient air turbine, designed to continuously move a column of air to the floor for destratification and air circulation purposes. A typical Air Pear system installation includes a series of units mounted just below the ceiling, evenly spaced throughout a facility, working in concert to improve comfort and reduce HVAC energy consumption up to 35% or more*.

Page 9: Understanding Air Pear Air Flow
Understanding Air Pear’s Unique Air Flow Low Velocity Intake - Low intake speed does not disturb air boundary layer under roof deck. Columnar Laminar Flow - Removing the rotational component induced by the axial fan allows for the air to move in a straight, ductless column from the ceiling to the floor.
Page 10: Power Requirements
If you have questions contact your local electrical contractor. Branch Circuit Protection The Air Pear fans do not include fuses for branch circuit protection. The branch circuit must have a dedicated circuit breaker or similar device. National and local safety standards and electrical codes may determine additional requirements for installation.
