2. Stator
The Stator is attached to the backside of the front finger guard. The purpose
of the Stator is to convert the radial dispersion of air to a narrow axial beam
of air. The stator creates a PowerStream™ of air that allows the VX700 to
be setback 8 to 30 feet from the doorway of a building being exhausted of
smoke without losing fan efficiency.
The greater setback distance un-clutters the entrance of the build to allow
plenty of room for firefighters and equipment to move in and out of the
building without tripping over a PPV fan.
3. Misting Ring
The VX700 is equipped with an 8 nozzle Misting Ring built into the shroud
cover of the fan. The standard issue nozzle provide 1.5 gallons of water per
minute at a water supply pressure of 200psi. Other nozzle options are
available to supply a mist flow rate up to 10 gallons per minute.
