How does a fan work?
Unlike air conditioners that cool the air, a fan simply circulates the ambient air. It creates a cooling sensation by sweeping the thin layer of warm air near the skin and facilitating sweat evaporation. However, it does not lower the room temperature.
What are the different types of fans available?
Fans come in various types: desk fans, air blowers, tower fans, column, and ceiling fans. Each type has its own advantages in terms of power, reach, and specific use.
What fan power is suitable for my room?
The required power depends on the room size. For example, for a 30 m² room, a fan with a power of 150 m³/min is recommended to ensure effective cooling.
Is it possible to pair a fan with other appliances like air conditioning or heating?
Yes, fans can be combined with air conditioning for enhanced comfort. Similarly, in winter, a fan can be used with heating to better distribute heat throughout the room.
How to choose a quiet fan?
Quiet fans typically offer multiple speed settings, with a "night" or "silent" mode to reduce noise levels.
What precautions should be taken when using a fan?
It is recommended to clean the fan regularly to avoid indoor air pollution. Additionally, sleeping directly exposed to a fan's airflow can sometimes cause mild dryness in the respiratory tract, especially if the air is very dry.
How much electricity does a fan consume?
Fans are much more energy-efficient than air conditioners. Electricity consumption depends on the fan's power: the higher the power, the higher the consumption.
What features should be considered when buying a fan?
When buying a fan, it's important to consider power, room size, available options (such as timer settings, remote control, misting, humidification, air purification, and even connectivity with voice assistants), and of course, noise level if silence is important to you.
