Stream Shaper Guard

Features

• Narrower Air Stream: Produces a more focused air stream, creating higher pressure in front of the shroud.
• Versatile Sizes: Available in 16″, 18″, 20″, 24″, and 30″ sizes to fit different Super Vac PPV fans.
• Enhanced Airflow Control: Ideal for precise airflow management in complex environments.
• Flexible Placement: Can be set farther from the building entrance, typically around 18 feet, allowing personnel to enter and exit the building easily.

How is it used?

The Stream Shaper Guard is used to direct and control the airflow produced by the Super Vac PPV fans. By creating a narrower air stream, it increases the pressure in front of the shroud, making it ideal for environments that require precise airflow management. This is particularly useful in high-rise buildings and floorplans with numerous small rooms.

Who uses it?

The StreamShaper Guard is primarily used by fire departments and emergency response teams. These professionals rely on the guard to manage airflow effectively during ventilation operations, ensuring that smoke and heat are efficiently expelled from buildings.

Real-Life Examples

• High-Rise Buildings: In high-rise buildings, the StreamShaper Guard helps direct airflow to specific areas, ensuring that smoke and heat are expelled efficiently.
• Complex Floorplans: In buildings with numerous small rooms, the guard allows for precise airflow management, making it easier to ventilate specific areas without affecting others.
• Emergency Situations: During fire emergencies, the guard can be set farther from the building entrance, providing a clear path for personnel to enter and exit while maintaining effective ventilation.
