Case Studies
Case studies prove benefits of Air Pear Thermal Equalizer
Ray Avedon, founder of Airius LLC, invented the Air Pear when workers in his own manufacturing operations, which has 30-foot ceilings, would complain about being cold. No matter how high thermostats would be set, the hot air rose to the ceiling.
Avedon and his engineers designed the Air Pear to create a nearly silent, invisible column of hot air moving back to the cooler floor area below.
A patented design of stator blades within each Air Pear – designed after numerous tests – increases airflow circulation in both summer and winter months.
The PDF links below summarize several case studies on the impact of installing Air Pear Thermal Equalizers, including the two facilities of Airius, both located in Longmont, CO. The Airius facilities are located at 711 S. Lincoln St., a manufacturing facility and 811 S. Sherman St., a tool room and the corporate office.
