The Retrotec fan was NOT built to be the least expensive, so though it costs more, its provides more too.

1. MORE FLOW
The wider inlet size and re-engineered flow stream gives the standard-power 2000 series fan about 10% more flow than any other door-fan. Their high-power 3000 series fan gives more than 70% more flow than any other fan on the market.

2. MORE RANGE
A wide range of flows are possible in each flow range configuration. This allows a complete multi-point test to be performed without changing ranges. The C1 range is shown above.

5. BETTER SOFTWARE
Retrotec has the most advanced software available. The software has been designed as an expert system with helpful pictorial pop-ups and built-in calibration certificates which automatically correct both gauge and fan readings according to the equipment calibration.

Their 2 channel digital gauge is the most highly advanced system built for blower door testing. It will read out directly in air changes per hour since it will take volume inputs. It has the capability of automatically controlling the Retrotec fan to any desired building pressure. Just hit the “Set to Pressure” key and walk away; the fan will hold any pressure desired.
