"Heat Stroke: This is a medical emergency--Delay could be fatal. Immediately cool the athlete while waiting for the transfer to the hospital. Remove clothing and use cool water on the victim's body. An increasing number of medical personnel are now using a treatment for heat illness that involves applying either alcohol or cool water to the victim's skin and vigorously fanning the body. The fanning causes evaporation and cooling." (Source--The First Aider)
High Velocity Fans
The risk of heatstroke and other heat related illnesses can be reduced with a High Velocity Fans, Misters and Portable Spot Coolers can be a big part of the solution. Our High Velocity Fans can produce air flow velocity ranging from 225 FPM (feet per minute) up to 700 FPM--about an 8 mile an hour breeze. It is the velocity of the air that assists our body's natural cooling and evaporation process that is essential during times of heat distress. By adding the misting element to this process you can help the process of cooling the body. Depending on the ambient humidity, misting in the fan's air stream can help cool the air stream significantly. High Velocity Fans and Misters are used in relief stations during the spring and summer practices, and on the sidelines during football games, sporting and outdoor events.
