Radon is an odorless, colorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally in bedrock and soil. It is the heaviest of the noble gases and is formed by the decay of uranium. Radon becomes a potential health problem when it is trapped and concentrated inside a building.
Most radon decay products are exhausted by breathing out, but in higher concentrations, more radon particles can become trapped in the lungs. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwide.
According to the EPA, exposure to indoor radon levels greater than 4 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/l) is abnormal and represents a long-term health risk.
Our radon fans are an efficient and effective choice to mitigate the radon in your home. They are specifically designed for radon extract ventilation of basements, cellars, crawl spaces, and so forth. The installation of a radon fan vent system helps to disperse the radon harmlessly outside.
One of the most powerful of Fantech's family of radon fans, the Rn 4EC-3 can create 4.3" of suction while moving 20 CFM, as well as create 0.5" of suction while moving 490 CFM. This versatile performance is made possible by the integrated electronically commutated (EC) motor, which is operationally stable and inherently efficient at full and reduced speeds.
All this allows the savvy radon professional the ability to precisely dial in the necessary fan speed, achieving the required system airflow rate or the required sub-slab depressurization via the integrated control system. The potentiometer can be removed from the wiring terminal block to accommodate an externally provided 0-10Vdc speed command for demand-controlled systems.
In addition, this fan's plastic housing is fully sealed via a vibration welding process. Using transverse, reciprocating motion under pressure at the point of contact, the heat produced by this innovative process melts the edges of the thermoplastic housing material. This melted material re-solidifies quickly, resulting in an inherently very strong, air-tight, fused single-piece housing. The air-tight nature of this sealing method ensures that contaminants are not spilled due to leakage.
