The HVAC industry’s Product Excellence and Young Achiever prizes have been awarded to Fantech, making ARBS 2012 their most successful yet.

Fantech’s JetVent EC range won the Product Excellence category and its designer, Fantech Market Development Engineer, Daniel Tan, was the Young Achiever for 2012.

Daniel was largely responsible for the introduction and development of the JetVent impulse ventilation system for car parks to Australia as a cost effective alternative to traditional ducted systems. He also designed the JetVent EC Series fans which feature efficient EC motor technology with integrated speed control and ComLink digital communication. This has simplified the system, reduced noise levels and wiring complexity, while dramatically improving its energy efficiency.

“We knew JetVent EC was special when we completed its performance testing, and to have that validated by the industry is a great feeling and a huge confirmation of Fantech’s commitment to innovation, product development and continuous improvement,” Daniel said.
“We were up against some very good products, and to win the award was very special and recognition of a lot of hard work.”

Aside from his work with JetVent, Daniel has designed and developed Australia’s first silencer test facility to ISO7235:2003, which has been used extensively with the Fantech range of rectangular attenuators. He also strives
to improve and educate the industry through the Fantech Engineers Training Program which he helped create and continues to play a vital role in by delivering its valuablecontents to its attendees all over Australia and New Zealand.

He has also played an important part in the development and testing of the Fantech Product Selection Program. “The selection program has been a very rewarding project as feedback so far from clients and staff has been very positive,” Daniel said.

The ARBS Industry Awards coincide with the ARBS Exhibition, which is a great opportunity to showcase new products, a chance to network with colleagues and see cutting edge technologies.

The Fantech stand focused on the new Product Selection software and a range of sophisticated products that highlighted Fantech’s technical expertise and its to provide complete solutions.

Some of the products included the TD Silent series of high performance in-line fans; Rickard Variable Air Volume electronic ceiling diffusers; the low profile and lightweight duct system FlatPack; the highly efficient de-stratification ZOO fan and the award winning JetVent EC car park fan.
