Nick AgiusExecutive Chairman and Founding Partner, Fan-Div.
He designed the DG-II

Nick designed and patented the DG-II Anti-Rotation Device, the device that stops an air cooler fan windmilling backwards when the motor is off. Fan-Div is its exclusive Canadian distributor.

And the elliptical inlet bell

He introduced the Elliptical Bell to the air cooled heat exchanger aftermarket, the deep inlet bell used where noise and fan performance both matter. Fan-Div is the global distributor.

He's published on it

Nick has written widely on Air Cooled Heat Exchanger optimization and axial fans, including in Hydrocarbon Processing. His papers are at thefanguy.ca.

What changed, and what didn't

Same people. Same work. New name on the door.

Fan-Div has acquired the Fan Division from Vibe.FX and now operates independently as Fan-Div.

  1. The team is the same. The people you've been calling about fan assemblies, blades, belts and bearings are the same people. Same phone conversations, same knowledge of your units, same email address.
  2. Nick is now officially part of it. He has worked alongside this team for years. As Executive Chairman and Founding Partner, every design goes past him, and that is now a permanent arrangement rather than a favour.
  3. We're independent. Formerly the Fan Division of Vibe.FX, Fan-Div now stands on its own. That means decisions about stock, engineering and how we look after your units get made by the people doing the work.

What this means for your fans

  • Design input from the person who created the products, not a reseller reading a catalogue
  • Exclusive Canadian supply of the DG-II, global supply of the E-Bell
  • Fan re-rates and management of change work backed by a P.Eng
  • The same parts supply for blades, hubs, belts, bearings and motors
If you were looking for

TheFanGuy, thefanguy.ca, or the fan division of Vibe.FX: you're in the right place. Nick's technical papers still live at thefanguy.ca. Everything else runs through Fan-Div now.
