ECO-FRIENDLINESS IS A WAY OF LIFE AT SUPERFAN

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…

CAN WE USE AC AND CEILING FAN TOGETHER?

CAN WE USE AC AND CEILING FAN TOGETHER?

Comments 0 Comment

Yes! Using AC and ceiling fan together is bound to give advantages to us in power savings and eco-friendliness. Air conditioning (AC) is currently the most effective method of cooling indoor space. However, its growing global use is problematic for a variety of reasons.   Typically, a 1-ton AC consumes more than 800 W per hour. Widespread use of air conditioning puts a strain on the electricity distribution system and raises the risk of power shortages.    Through heat ejection, air conditioning contributes to the Urban…

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,…

Regulator BLDC ceiling fans

Comments 0 Comment

The function of a regulator is to provide the user with control over the fan. This control comes with a loss of power. Therefore, it is good to choose the type of regulator that minimizes this loss (To know more read: What does a fan regulator do? ). Regulators also save energy as the user can operate the fan at the desired RPM, which may be lower than the highest RPM in many instances. Currently, capacitive-based regulators are the best…

Regulators, as the name suggests, regulate or control the speed of the fan motor. They have been around since the 1950s, and there are a few types of them. Resistive regulator   These are the box type regulators, found in many old building and homes. It has a wire wound resistor with different contact points as the speed positions, with each contact point corresponding to a resistance value. The presence of resistance reduces the voltage supplied to the fan. In an AC induction motor,…

Government of India through the Ministry of Power operates an agency called Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) that assigns energy efficiency rating to appliances that are participating.  The efficiency is rated in a star-based system, with ‘5 stars’ indicating the most efficient and ‘1 star’ the least efficient. BEE formulates an efficiency parameter and its required value for each appliance. Many of us are familiar with the star rating in ACs & refrigerators. Recently, it was ruled that from Jan…

How Super Energy Efficient Ceiling Fans Differ from Regular Ceiling Fans?

Comments 5 comments

Ceiling fans are still the primary space cooling appliances in India. There are over 400 million ceiling fans in the country. They can be categorized based on their efficiency as: – Regular Ceiling fans – Energy Efficient ceiling fans – Super energy efficient ceiling fans Regular Ceiling fans Regular fans are conventional ceiling fans built with an AC Induction Motor (ACIM). Typically, they consume around 75W and some old fans may consume up to 90W. The vast majority of ceiling fans in use are these ceiling fans. The…
