How to choose a fan
The fan is an indispensable assistant in the summer heat, both in the office and at home. In order for the device to bring only jets of fresh air, and not disagreements with colleagues and relatives, correctly choose the appropriate model.
Design features of models
Three types of fans:
- floor. Able to ventilate the room up to 20 sq.m. Indisputable advantage - the ability to rotate 90 degrees. They have an adjustable foot that lowers or raises the fan to the desired level;
- desktop. It has a small power and focus of action. It is convenient when others are afraid of drafts and strong air currents. Such a fan will not disturb others and save from heat;
- ceiling Model with maximum power, therefore suitable for large office space, warehouses or spacious living rooms.
Fan selection criteria
To select the desired model, look at such criteria as power, noise level, the presence of a regulator.
Power
The larger the area of the room, the more powerful the model. This rule does not apply to desktop fans. The ratio of power and area is easy to determine - multiply the area of the ventilated room by 2. The resulting figure is the power value with which the device must work in order to cope with stuffiness. At 20 square meters. m. area of the room, the power device - 40 watts.
Noise level
The average fan works by emitting noise within 30 dB. The smaller this value, the more comfortable it will be for others.
Speed control
Better to have a speed control present. Adjusting the force of the air flow is a convenient option, but the presence leads to higher prices. But slightly overpaying, you will appreciate the advantage of this feature.
Resilience
Before you buy a fan, ask to turn on the device in the store at full capacity. There are models that strive to fall when working. Choose sustainable models.
Security
A safe fan is one in which the blades are protected on both sides by a grille.
Useful features
The above criteria will help you choose a device that will cope with the task of cooling the air indoors on hot days. But a good fan is a model that will be comfortable to use. To create convenience, you can overpay for additional options.
Rules for choosing the best fan:
- availability of remote control. It is much more convenient to turn on or turn off the device without getting up from a place than to constantly run across the room to it;
- the presence of illumination. The illuminated display will help regulate the speed of work, turn on (turn off) at night without turning on the light;
- presence of timer. The “smart device” fan will cool the room when it arrives home, it will turn itself off after a specified time, or it will work in the mode that is suitable for this time of day;
- presence of sensory presence. The fan will work only when there is someone in the room. As soon as there is no one in the room, the device will turn off, and it will work when you cross the threshold of the office or room again;
- display presence. The LCD display allows you to comfortably control the device;
- presence of air ionization. This feature allows you to make the air cool, clean and safe, charging useful particles. In some models, it is possible to add aroma oils to fill the room with aromas.
Properly selected fan will make your stay comfortable even in the conditions of a stuffy room.
