Sponsored- Surviving Through The Hot Days: How To Choose A Fan

Summer is always associated with holidays, even if you still have to
attend your work and have no idea when desired vacations are going to come. It
is a general mood, something in the air. Maybe, everything starts with
children, who get the longest rest from school and studies in the year.

 It
starts with our habits acquired during that decade of our lives spent at
school. And only one thing can spoil this happy mood and joy: an extreme heat.
Luckily, someone took care of this and invented a fan.

How it Works

A fan is one of those machines that humans invented for personal
comfort. It is used to create a flow – usually a flow of air in order to
achieve chilling effect. A fan consists of rotating blades called an impeller,
which works on fluid, and a rotor, which are put into some kind of housing. The
housing has a protective function and prevents different objects from
contacting with blades, or it can direct the flow of cool air

Fans produce flows with high volume and low pressure. They are used for
air cooling, but actually don’t really make it colder. Instead, fans increase
heat convection into the surrounding air. It is the simplest and the most
energy-efficient way to cool your home.

Types of Fans

Depending on what effect and performance you are looking for, you can
choose a kind of fan that suits your apartment or office the best.

Oscillating fans move
back and forth only and are used for convective cooling.

Box fans are
portable. You can move this one and place wherever you want in search of more comfort,
and specific blade design determines the efficiency of airflow.

Window fans are
mounted into an opened window. It is one of the most efficient types of fans.
You just need to find an appropriate place, and the result will equal to
cooling by several fans placed all over the house.

Exhaust fans are
small and neat, but they shouldn’t be used together with the HVAC system.

Attic vent fans flow
air from one part of attic to another, but not to the house below. It is a kind
of local ventilation, which helps with the maintenance of your attic.

Ceiling fans are
probably the most common type, which can guarantee a lot of benefits. You can
get airflows in different directions and even make a room warmer in winter by
holding air in the room.

Whole house fans are
also mounted in the ceiling. It is usually a spot between attic and high point
in a house. Whole house fans cool both living space and attic, and you can open
any window to get air movement there.

How to Choose a Fan

The first and foremost thing to consider when choosing a fan is its
efficiency. It is the basic specification of every fan, defined by the amount
of air that can be moved in a given amount of time (measured in cubic meter per
minute).

One more important thing is
thermal analysis. In order to find the most efficient cooling, system you need
to identify the sources of heat.

Performance curve defines
the fan’s size and speed. It indicates airflow quantity variations, revolution
of speed, pressure and current for specific voltage.

If you want to have an
ability to control cooling, look for something with speed control function.

You should also think of
application process. Most likely, you will not be able to do everything on your
own, so think about finding a specialist. Moreover, look carefully whether this
or that type of fans is appropriate for installation in your house. In other
case, you can just waste your time and money.
