Let us begin with the understanding the power surge and its common causes. A power surge is simply an unexpected increase in voltage, it is also called transient voltage. The common causes are fluctuations caused by large appliances like ACs, washers, dryers, lightening, load dump at the power grid, improper wiring.  It is commonly observed that electronics are sensitive to failure due to a power surge – a sudden burst of electricity higher than normal levels. One of the major…

Ceiling fans are the primary thermal comfort appliance in India due to their simplicity, familiarity, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency (BLDC ceiling fans). Beyond these advantages, there are some drawbacks like lack of standardization, decrease in effectiveness in extremely humid conditions, and the noise from its operation.  The standardization of fans is underway now through the efforts of government agencies like BIS and BEE. Ceiling fans cannot offer comfort in humid conditions as the thermal comfort from fans depends on the surrounding…

What determines ceiling fan airflow? [4 crucial parameters]

What determines ceiling fan airflow? [4 crucial parameters]

Comments 2 comments

The primary use of ceiling fans is to offer the desired thermal comfort by delivering sufficient airflow. There is a misconception of relating airflow to only the speed of a fan (RPM). Though, it is true that when the speed (RPM) of a fan increases by 10%, the airflow increases by 10%. Explore fan laws.  But the speed of a fan is not the only parameter that influences the airflow, and it is wrong to compare two fans by their…

How can you use ceiling fans in winter?

How can you use ceiling fans in winter?

Comments 5 comments

In a closed space like a room with still air, the cooler air stays at the bottom, and the warm air rises to the ceiling. This segmentation of air happens due to the difference in the densities, and this phenomenon is called stratification. This becomes a problem in winters as the much-needed warm air recedes to the ceiling leaving the space close to the floor cooler. When heating elements are used to warm the space, it requires more heat generation…

ECO-FRIENDLINESS IS A WAY OF LIFE AT SUPERFAN

Comments 4 comments

Many BLDC ceiling fans are marketed as eco-friendly, as they save about 1 kg of CO2 emissions and 2 liters of water every day by conserving electricity. While claiming eco-friendliness in advertisements, they seem to continue to use plastics in packaging, not utilizing ROHS electronic components, not avoiding processes that impact the environment. Their claim of eco-friendliness tends to be empty especially when those manufacturers began making BLDC ceiling fans because of the government mandates. Is postponing bee star rating…

THERMAL ADAPTABILITY AND CEILING FANS

THERMAL ADAPTABILITY AND CEILING FANS

Comments 0 Comment

Thermal adaptation is the ability of the human body to adjust to temperatures. The human body works to maintain the core body temperature at 37° celsius. The loss or gain of heat from the environment activates the thermal regulators in the body to warm or cool respectively. The thermal regulation system in our body functions intending to keep ourselves at a comfortable temperature. The core of our body passes on heat to the skin to maintain comfort during cold climates,…
