In industrial, chemical, or humid environments, the quality of ventilation is critical to ensuring safety, comfort, and performance. Choosing the right fan that is corrosion-resistant and suitable for your needs can be complex. SEAT Ventilation, a specialist in corrosion-resistant air extraction systems, offers three main ranges: SEAT, STORM and JET. Each range is designed to meet specific needs. In this article, we guide you to make the most suitable choice for your project.
The SEAT range: for high airflow applications
The SEAT range is the most versatile of the three. It includes centrifugal fans made of polypropylene (PP), which gives them high corrosion resistance. This type of fan is ideal for industrial, chemical or pharmaceutical environments where high airflows are required.
SEAT fans are designed to operate in demanding conditions, especially in installations where chemical resistance is essential. With a flow rate of 50 to 15,000 m³/h and a static pressure of up to 2000 Pa, these fans are ideally suited for large-scale installations. In addition, their ability to withstand aggressive conditions makes them an ideal solution for applications such as laboratories, chemical or pharmaceutical industries.
In addition to their technical performance, SEAT fans are available with different options: standards, EC or ATEX motors for hazardous environments, and various mounting configurations (horizontal or vertical), offering great flexibility according to your specific needs. To find out more details and available options, visit the dedicated SEAT range page.
Main features of the SEAT range:
- Air flow: 50 to 15,000 m³/h
- Static pressure: 30 to 2,000 Pa
- Operating temperature: up to 60°C
- Installation: horizontal or vertical mounting
- Material: Corrosion-resistant polypropylene (PP)
The STORM range: power for high pressures
The STORM range is specifically designed to meet the needs of applications where high static pressures are required. These fans are capable of withstanding pressures of up to 4,500 Pa, while maintaining flow rates of 25 to 5,000 m³/h. Thanks to their robust design, they are ideal for environments where high-pressure performance is required, such as acid treatment tanks, wash towers or scrubbers.
STORM fans are also made of UV-resistant polypropylene, making them suitable for outdoor installation or in environments subject to harsh climatic conditions. This model is also more compact than the SEAT range, while offering equivalent performance. It is ideal for applications where space is limited but efficient ventilation is essential. To explore the STORM range, you can visit the page here.
Key features of the STORM range:
- Air flow: 25 to 5,000 m³/h
- Static pressure: 50 to 4,500 Pa
- Operating temperature: up to 60°C
- Installation: horizontal or vertical mounting
- Compact and UV-resistant design
If you need to manage an environment with specific high pressure needs while optimizing space, the STORM series will be your preferred choice.
The JET range: the in-line solution with vertical rejection
The JET range offers centrifugal fans designed for in-line mounting. Unlike the SEAT and STORM models, these fans have a protected motor, located outside the airflow, guaranteeing optimal protection against corrosion and weathering. This particular design is suitable for external environments or installations where the exhaust air must be directed vertically, such as water parks, swimming pools or marine areas.
JET fans are particularly suitable for rooftop or wall installations, and are suitable for environments where moisture and salt are key factors. With an air flow rate of 200 to 3,500 m³/h and a static pressure of up to 2,000 Pa, these fans are effective for installations requiring a vertical discharge of stale air. More information about the JET range can be found on the JET page.
Key features of the JET range:
- Air flow: 200 to 3,500 m³/h
- Static pressure: 800 to 2,000 Pa
- Installation: on the roof or wall with vertical rejection
- Protected motor for increased longevity
- Operating temperature: up to 60°C
If your project requires a ventilation solution with vertical discharge, while protecting the engine from saline or humid environments, the JET range is ideal.
In short: which range for which need?
The choice between the SEAT, STORM or JET range depends mainly on your needs in terms of airflow, static pressure and type of installation. If you are looking for a versatile ventilation system that can handle large volumes of air, the SEAT range is ideal for industrial and chemical environments.
If your application requires high static pressure in tight spaces, such as in gas or chemical processing, the STORM range will be more suitable. Finally, if you need in-line mounting with vertical rejection, the JET range will meet your requirements.
A tool to help you choose: ZEPHYR
To help you with your selection, SEAT Ventilation provides an online selection tool called ZEPHYR. This software allows you to determine the most suitable fan based on specific criteria such as flow rate, pressure and operating environment. It allows you to save time and make the most relevant choice, while respecting the standards in force. Discover ZEPHYR to help you in your selection.
Conclusion
The choice between the SEAT, STORM and JET range depends on several key factors: the environment of use, the pressure requirements, the type of installation, as well as the chemical resistance. With the help of the ZEPHYR tool and the expertise of SEAT Ventilation, you will be able to find the most suitable solution for your needs. If you still have doubts, the SEAT Ventilation teams are available to accompany you and help you make the optimal choice for your project.
