The Panasonic FV-08VKM1 is a ventilating ceiling fan. It is part of Pansonic's "Whisper Green" line of ceiling fans, designed for bathrooms, which uses technology to make an extremely quiet motor. Knowing the specifications of the FV-08VKM1 will help you determine if it will meet your needs.
The Motor
The motor operates the blower, which is responsible for ventilation. It is set up for continuous operation at low a speed (30 CFM, or cubic feet per minute), which automatically increases in the event increased static (or moisture in the air) is detected within the unit. During this time, it can rise to 80 CFM, the rate at which it operates when the switch is turned on manually.
Power Consumption
The FV-08VKM1 has a power rating of 120 volts and 60 hertz. The unit meets ENERGY STAR requirements with a maximum power consumption of 11.3 watts, and just 4.7 watts in stationary mode.
Technical Specifications
The body of the blower is unpainted, galvanized steel, and has a detachable duct adapter with a 4-inch opening. The blower has a built-in backdraft damper, to restrict airflow to one way only. Four expandable brackets secure the unit in 14.5 to 24 inches of space on each side. The grille is streamlined, so as not to take up unnecessary space in the ceiling, and it attaches directly to the housing of the blower.
