Which Exhaust Fan Brands Does Rapid Cool Carry in Dubai?
Rapid Cool carries four exhaust fan brands in Dubai, and each one covers a different part of a ventilation package. Choosing the brand first helps when a specification names a manufacturer. Choosing the fan type first helps when the specification gives only a duty.
- SODECA ventilation fans: axial, centrifugal, roof, in-line, kitchen, smoke extract, jet and ATEX fan ranges for building and industrial projects.
- Östberg ventilation fans: inline, cabinet and roof fans, with ATEX and marine and offshore ranges.
- ILG / American Coolair fans: roof mounted, kitchen exhaust, inline, wall mounted and belt-driven industrial fans.
- Metrico / Victoria ventilation fans: window, wall and ceiling fans, circular inline duct fans, centrifugal cabinet fans and wind driven ventilators.
How Do You Select an Exhaust Fan for a UAE Project?
An exhaust fan is selected from four figures: airflow, static pressure, noise level and, on life safety systems, the smoke extract rating. Work through the points below before asking for a price, because a fan chosen on airflow alone will not deliver that airflow once it is connected to the duct system.
- Airflow. Set the extract volume in m3/h or CFM from the air change rate, the hood design or the process load.
- Static pressure. Add up the resistance of the ducts, bends, filters, dampers, louvres and attenuators, in pascals, at the design airflow.
- Noise level. State the dB(A) limit for the space or the plot boundary so the fan speed and any attenuator can be chosen together.
- Smoke extract rating. Where the fan forms part of a smoke control system, give the temperature and duration class in the specification, for example F300 or F400.
- Air conditions. Note grease, dust, corrosive fumes, high temperature or a hazardous area classification, because these decide the fan construction and motor position.
- Mounting and power. Confirm roof, wall, inline or floor mounting, the space available and the electrical supply.

Where Are Exhaust Fans Used in Dubai and UAE Buildings?
Exhaust fans are used wherever heat, fumes, moisture or smoke must be removed from a building. The applications below account for most enquiries Rapid Cool receives from UAE projects.
- Commercial kitchens in restaurants, hotels and malls, where the fan works with the hood, grease filters and often a kitchen ecology unit.
- Car parks and basements, using smoke extract fans and jet fans as part of the ventilation design.
- Warehouses, factories and workshops that need general or process exhaust.
- Toilets, offices and corridors in residential and commercial towers, served by inline and cabinet fans.
- Oil and gas, chemical and paint areas that require ATEX explosion proof fans.
- Marine and offshore installations with their own electrical supply and environmental demands.

Exhaust Fan Supplier FAQs
Does Rapid Cool supply exhaust fans outside Dubai?
Yes. Rapid Cool is based in Dubai and supplies exhaust fans to projects across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Which exhaust fan suits a commercial kitchen?
A kitchen exhaust fan must be selected for grease-laden air and for the resistance of the hood, filters and duct. Compare the SODECA professional kitchen and ILG / American Coolair kitchen exhaust ranges, then send the hood airflow and static pressure for a selection.
Can Rapid Cool select the fan if only the room size is known?
Rapid Cool provides selection support, but a reliable selection needs an airflow and a static pressure. Share the drawings or the consultant’s schedule so the duty can be confirmed before a model is offered.
Is an exhaust fan the same as a ventilation fan?
An exhaust fan is a ventilation fan used to remove air from a space. The same fan types also serve supply air duties, which is why the full range is listed under ventilation fans in the UAE.
