models Selection of
instruments In order to choose the right indoor fan, you need to understand the types of devices. So, these household appliances for home can be:
- desktop;
- outdoor;
- channel;
- ceiling;
- wall mounted.
Also, fans can differ in design( for home, axial and tangential models are most often chosen, for production - radial( centrifugal) devices), by the method of fixing and protection levels. However, for the selection of room devices, these technical characteristics are practically irrelevant, so we will not dwell on them in detail.
If you want to choose a fan for a living room in a house or apartment, you need to purchase a floor, desktop or ceiling version. Table and ceiling models are only axial, and floor products can still be tangential. The latter are made in the form of a column and have many useful functions:
- air humidifier;
- temperature sensor;
- control panel;
- air heating in the room.
Please note that if you choose to choose a floor tangential device, its price will be higher than that of other varieties. In addition to additional functions and parameters, the column fan looks stylish and is one of the safest options for home.
Floor axial fans are clear leaders in sales among the remaining varieties for many years and are a classic example of a device for cooling a room. The large blades, which provide strong airflow, the ability to switch speeds, stability and the availability of a pivot mechanism - all this guarantees the stability of the choice of this product and the positive customer feedback about it. If you decide to choose this standard model, pay attention to the fact that the blades must be completely covered with a safety net( especially if you have children or animals).
Are you going to choose a powerful but quiet fan? Ceiling models will come in handy! While standard products have a power of about 50 watts, the ceiling version has the power of up to 250 watts. The blades of the appliance do not rotate quickly, but thanks to the high power, you will always feel a pleasant coolness on hot days. This product is especially popular for placing over a dining table or bed. Also, often ceiling devices buy for a terrace or summer kitchen in a country house. 
As for desktop models, everything is very clear here. The main advantage, because of which you can choose a desktop fan, is a small size, ease of use and a cheap price. This product is convenient to take with you on trips, and it will help you out on a particularly hot day. Note that these fans have a weak blowing, and they quite often break. 
If for a living room you should choose a common household appliance, then for the kitchen, bathroom and toilet you need to buy a special exhaust fan, which is installed in the vent in the wall. It does not perform such functions as a standard device and is purchased to remove moist air after bathing, unpleasant odors after cooking, etc. If possible, choose the instruments with temperature and humidity control, pay close attention to all the nuances of installation.
Selection Criteria for
Parameters So, we figured out what kind of fans exist and how to choose them based on the varieties. Also very important is the choice of the device by general parameters and the availability of additional functions.
- Power. As already mentioned above, the power of a normal fan does not exceed 60 W and this is enough to blow out the room. If you want a more powerful option, we advise you to choose a ceiling product.
- Noise level. If you want to choose a model for a bedroom or a children's room, the noise level should not exceed 25 dB, for the rest of the rooms - no more than 30 dB.
- Size. The larger the blade size, the faster the room will cool.
- Protection. In any fan, except for the ceiling, there must be a special mesh that covers the blades. Children or animals can be seriously injured by curiosity and the desire to touch rotating elements, so such protection must be mandatory.
- Speed selector. Even in the most conventional classic models there should be a button for switching speeds, be sure to choose a product.
- Stability. A good outdoor fan should be sufficiently stable with steering of the turn, tilt and height.
Additional features that should be considered when choosing a fan include the availability of these options:
- backlight;
- timer;
- motion sensor;
- ionization of air;
- remote control;
- LCD display;
- overheating protection.
