Northern Air® Aqua is available in sizes 3, 4 and 5 meters in diameter. As a standard, it comes with several layers of white powder coating. This special coating has been chosen as it provides extra protection against corrosion.
The ceiling fan also has an IP54 rating, which makes it extra hardy. It is the obvious choice for challenging and corrosive environments. It can be installed as a stand-alone solution, but works best in tandem with existing HVAC systems.
In addition to being an energy efficient ceiling fan ideal for challenging environments, it has the same benefits as Northern Air® Pro fans.
The Aqua fan provides the greatest benefit when implemented as a supplement to conventional ventilation systems in swimming halls, supporting improved energy efficiency and optimised ventilation operation.

Northern Air® Aqua is an HVLS fan specially developed for aquatic centers. It’s particularly suitable for indoor swimming pools and other aggressive environments characterized by high humidity.
It’s also a suitable choice for advanced production facilities or similar challenging industrial environments.
An HVLS fan moves large amounts of air, slowly and at a low RPM. This ensures a constant mixing of the air in a given facility.
In aquatics centers, it can help tackle the special ventilation challenges, by reducing the load on the existing HVAC system. As the ventilation task is often massive in an aquatic center, even a small optimization can lead to significant energy savings.
Mixing of the layers of air also equalizes humidity and temperature differences between floor and ceiling level. Quickly and efficiently.

With Northern Sky®, you can control all your installations and gain full overview of operations, indoor climate, and energy consumption.
With an Indoor Climate Package, you can monitor temperature, CO₂ and relative humidity. By adding a Power Tracking Module, you can document energy consumption for selected units. The platform can also be integrated into your existing BMS system via the BAM module.
In short: One system. One overview. Helping you achieve data-driven and energy-efficient building operations.
Despite their significant airflow, the Northern Air® Aqua fans operate silenty. This is possible due to the advanced motor technology and air blade design that helps minimize noise. This makes them suitable for environments where noise control is essential.
Below are air flow efficiency and noise level graphs for the 3, 4, and 5 meter systems. Since Aqua is the tough younger brother to the original Northern Air® Pro fan, the noise specs presented in the bottom graphs below are the same for these two product lines. The first graphs show air volume at different speed settings (RPM). And the noise level graphs show decibel (dB) readings at different speeds (RPM).
The Northern Air® Aqua productline is tested accoring to the leading industry standard for air circulation; AMCA 230-15. The CFEI (ceiling fan energy index) is 4.89 at 40% speed and 1.01 at 100% speed for the 5-meter fans. The CFEI data is based on 208/60/3 testing per ANSI/AMCA Standard 230 and 10 CFR 430.
Energy consumption in buildings constitutes around 30% of total energy consumption. The energy is primarily used for heating, ventilation and lighting.
Aquatic centers in particular, are some of the most energy-intensive buildings to operate. Water, heating and ventilation all take up a great deal of space in the energy accounts, and it can be hard to change this, without having to make capital investments in the millions.
A large number of aquatic centers have completed budget-friendly projects with Nordicco, with the specific goal of lowering their energy consumption – without compromising their indoor climate.

The Danish technology consulting company Force Technology has performed tests of the Northern Air® Aqua fan (Note: Aqua was formerly known as Aggressive Environment).
The tests have examined the system’s hardiness to corrosive environments and include an accelerated corrosion analysis (IEC 60068-2-52: 2017), as well as testing of the system’s resistance towards solids (dust particles), IP5X (IEC 60529: 2013), and water, IPX5 (IEC 60529: 2013).
The results of the three tests show that the Northern Air® Aqua system has an overall IP54 rating, while the Drive-enclosure itself is rated IP55. At the same time, the accelerated corrosion analysis of the system’s C4 coating shows that there is great resistance to incipient corrosion.
Installation of a Nordicco HVLS fan is Plug & Play, as all components and factory-installed electronics are delivered pre-assembled. The process therefore primarily consists of mounting the motor unit and attaching the air blades.
One of the strengths of Nordicco’s fans is their relatively low weight compared to many other HVLS systems on the market. This makes them more flexible to handle during installation and places fewer demands on lifting equipment and structural support. The lower weight is one of the reasons why installation using professional climbers is often possible in swimming halls.
The challenging part of the installation is ensuring that technicians can work safely and securely at ceiling level. This typically requires a lift or scaffolding, but in swimming halls professional climbers are also a commonly used solution – particularly when installing above deep pools or in otherwise hard-to-access areas.
Installation time depends largely on the ceiling design and height. A standard installation in a swimming hall typically takes approximately one working day – from arrival on site to final installation and site clean-up.
The Nordicco motor delivers high torque at low rotational speeds – exactly where a large ceiling fan operates most efficiently. It provides full power from standstill and drives the fan directly without a gearbox, reducing energy losses, noise and wear.
This means more of the input energy is converted into effective air movement, helping to minimise operating costs over the fan’s lifetime.
The result is an energy-efficient, reliable, EU-manufactured quality motor designed for long life.
