What is an Electric Fan?
An electric fan is a small one that uses electricity to circulate air. There are many different types of electric fans which work by either using a rotating cylinder or a static blade. Electric fans have the following features:
- They do not require water for cooling, as they use air only
- A simple motor drives them, so there is no need for servicing
- They are portable, so you can take them with you anywhere
- They require a small amount of electricity to run
A fan rotates either rubber or paper blade to circulate air. One side of the blade is stationary while the other faces a rotating shaft. As it turns, one face collects hot air and discharges it from the back while the other face takes in cool air from the front through vented openings.
An electric fan requires very little power to operate – about 35 watts on average. It should be used only when you’re in a room that’s comfortably cool though, as it has been found that running an electric fan for 15 minutes does not decrease the temperature of a room.
Thus, an electric fan can be used to decrease the ambient temperature surrounding your body by as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind created will also make you feel cooler. Electric fans do not use water to cool themselves, so they are best for indoor use where water is limited or unavailable.
5 Benefits of Electric Fans
Power Saving
Electric fans can save energy for you by bringing down the temperature of a room. In summer, they reduce the use of ACs which saves energy and therefore lowers your electricity bills.
No Water Required
The electric fan does not require water to function, making it an ideal choice for areas with a scarcity of water or during a drought season.
Portability
Modern-day electric fans come in different shapes and sizes – small enough to carry on trips and large enough to cool an entire room at home. They are easy to carry around as they do not make any noise while operating; unlike their bulky counterparts, air conditioners (ACs).
Since the size is smaller than ACs, more space is saved. An electric fan can also be attached to a window or placed on a table making it suitable for homes with limited space.
Space Saving
Since the size of electric fans is smaller than ACs, more space is saved. For example, if you have limited space in your room but need a cooling system, you can place an electric fan at one corner of the room and save space.
Plus, since they are portable they don’t take up too much space when taken on trips or picnics for that matter!
Multi-Purpose Usage
Electric fans come with several features such as oscillating mode and timer functions which make them ideal for summer use as well as wintertime heating solutions due to their multi-seasonal applications.
For example, you can use the oscillating function during summer to cool down an entire room quickly. Or alternatively, you can close all windows and doors, turn on your electric fan, and set it on timer mode so it turns off after several hours.
This will allow the hot air trapped inside to be slowly released outside without wasting too much electricity or gas.
After Thoughts
Electric fans are safe, affordable, and more environment-friendly than ACs making them the perfect choice for home cooling solutions in summer. With their user-friendly designs and features which suit different types of customers’ needs, they are especially useful for people who would like some temporary relief from the heat but do not want to spend a fortune on Air Conditioners (ACS).
