How to choose a fan?

To choose the right fan, you need to pay attention to four main criteria:

• fan type;


• modes of operation;


• power of air flow;


• noise level

Let's look at each criterion a little bit more. Let's start with type of fan: it affects the strength of the air flow, the possibility of placing the fan and the features of adjusting its operation. Total exists four types: floor, table, column fans and fan heaters.

Floor fans have a large size and performance,their powerful engine copes with the premises of large volumes. As a rule, floor fans allow you to adjust the height and angle, select the mode of operation (horizontal or vertical).

Column fans have the form of a high cylinder. They rotate only in the horizontal direction and are equipped with an airflow power control system.

Table fans compact and mobile, they can be put anywhereand easy to transfer from one place to another. There are even relatively small fans-clothespins. But in comparison with floor fans they have less performance.

The special type is fan heaters. You should choose a fan of this type, ifin winter you plan to save on the heater. The heat sink can operate in two modes: cold air (room cooling) and warm / hot air (room heating). The fan heater must be made of heat-resistant material and equipped with a protection against overheating.

Let's move on to modes of operation of the fan. Under the mode of operation can mean different options, in particular:

• the plane of rotation;


• rotational speed;


• tilt angle.

Plane of rotation can be horizontal or vertical. Some fans can switch between these two modes of operation. Changing the angle of inclination contributes to a uniform refreshment of the air in the room. Usually fans have three angles: 30, 45 or 90 degrees. Concerning rotational speeds, most often they have three fans. Speed ​​affects the intensity of the air flow. This or that speed is chosen depending on your desire and air temperature.

You can also choose fan with additional modes:

• Rotation mode (the fan turns slowly, evenly refreshing the air in the room);


• automatic mode (with the help of a timer, the interval of the fan's operation time is set - from 1 to 12 hours - after which it will automatically turn off);


• ionization mode for air purification;


• mode of protection against insects (using the built-in fumigator).

To make it easier to switch modes, it is worth choosing a fan with remote control.

It is very important to choose a fan with an optimum power of air flow. It shows how much spaceThe fan is capable of cooling per unit of time, and is measured in cubic meters per hour. To calculate the power, you need to multiply the volume of the room by two. Optimal power to create a comfortable atmosphere in a room per person - 50-80 m²/ h.

Power must be selected depending on the volumerooms and the number of people who will be in it (the larger the room, the more powerful one needs to choose a fan). The power of the fan is affected motor power and the diameter of the screw.

Noise level also determines the quality of the fan, because itaffects the usability of a particular model. The maximum acceptable comfort level is 38 dB. For a children's room, an office, a bedroom, you need to choose a fan with a lower noise level - 25-30 dB. When buying, you need to check the noise level in different modes of operation: often manufacturers indicate the noise level only for the minimum speed.

Now you know, how to choose the fan that is right for you. We hope that you will like the chosen model, and your apartment will always be pleasantly cool, regardless of the temperature outside the window.
