The revolutionary, patent-pending Flex-Wave™ LoBoy electric fan from Flex-A-Lite^® has greater airflow, is more efficient and is quieter than traditional S-blade and straight-blade designs. The Flex-Wave fan moves up to 20 percent more airflow than Flex-A-Lite Trimline fans, and up to 33 percent more airflow than the comparable electric fans from the competitors!

This 16-inch Flex-Wave LoBoy fan moves 3,000 cfm of airflow and an extremely thin, 3 3/16-inch depth.

Converting from a belt-driven fan to a Flex-A-Lite electric fan frees up wasted horsepower and increases gas mileage. When used as an auxiliary fan, these units will provide additional cooling.

More than having just a different look, the Flex-Wave electric-fan blade has several aerodynamic advantages for air movement:

• The leading edge of the fan blade is no longer a single, solid line. The sine-wave design creates leading edges that cut through the air first. This starts movement in the air around the blade with greater efficiency.
• The wave surface of the blades creates channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow and reducing energy losses.
• The wave surface forms a winglet at the tip of the blade, further increasing efficiency by reducing air vortices.
• The trailing edge of the fan blade also has variations, which reduces wind noise.
