Abstract

By generating air flow, electric cooling fans provide cool air to help individuals dissipate body heat loss in warm environments. They are also used to lower the temperature of industrial equipment so that they assist maintaining high efficiency and ensuring that performance is not compromised due to heat generated. Electric fans have a simple structure and are easy to use and maintain. They have a high standard of electrical performance requirements and are stable in operation, safe to use. Fans have a high air volume, are low in noise and vibration, easy to place and movable. Furthermore, electric fans can meet both thermal comfort and energy-saving requirements. The air flow generated by electric fans can effectively compensate for the impact of rising temperature on thermal comfort and reduce occupant discomfort in a warm environment. Simultaneously, the use of electric fans in the summer can raise the set temperature of air conditioning systems while lowering building energy consumption. Electric fans are popular cooling devices that are widely used in a variety of environments and locations. This chapter provides an overview of the history of electric fans, fan types, and a variety of related issues, such as the benefits and drawbacks of various electric fans, fan selection and arrangement points, fan control modes, and energy cost issues. Finally, future research and development directions for electric fans are discussed.
