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…
BLDC ceiling fans are marketed based only on their power consumption. But the power consumption depends on various other parameters, size, airflow, speed to name a few. Especially the ’28 W‘ is being used in the market a lot, is it true? Can a BLDC ceiling fan consume 28W or lesser? There could be two possibilities: 1. It could be a marketing gimmick of expressing the specification of the BLDC ceiling fan in a clever way to deceive. One step…
Is the ceiling fan you buy, fair to you and everybody else? Superfan makes ceiling fans that strive to be fair to the consumers, the nation, and the environment. CUSTOMERS Sensible Innovation Ceiling fans earlier were negligent about power consumption, contributing to expensive electricity bills and pollution due to electricity generation, Superfan broke this stereotype in 2012 by inventing India’s first super energy efficient ceiling fans. This innovation replaced the inefficient AC induction motor of ceiling fans with Brush-Less Direct…
How ceiling fans move air? A ceiling fan is a simple electrical appliance with blades mounted on a motor which rotates the blades to push the air and create airflow. The airflow from ceiling fans is measured in Cubic Meter Per Minute (CMM). The airflow has two components, the volume of air moved and the speed at which that volume of air moves. Fan designers vary the two components to make fans suitable for different applications with the same airflow….
Let us assume that you know about the huge benefits of super energy-efficient BLDC fans to an individual and to the nation. And now you want to replace your existing fans to super energy-efficient fans like Superfan. A question might arise – why should you spend a significant amount of money on replacing a working fan? Read further. The huge benefits of BLDC fans are gained when it is replacing a regular fan that is being used for long hours….
Speed fluctuation in regular ceiling fans Ever experienced that your regular ceiling fan runs at a higher speed in the early hours of the morning or change speed on its own? This speed fluctuation stems from the inherent behaviour of the type of motor used in the ceiling fan. A regular ceiling fan is driven by Alternating Current Induction Motor (ACIM), for which, loosely speaking, the input supply voltage determines the rotation speed. The domestic input supply voltage (ideally 230V)…
Bureau of Energy Efficiency(BEE) is an agency of the government of India under the Ministry of Power, formed to reduce the energy intensity in the Indian economy through policies and recommendations. One of their functions is to classify the efficiency of appliances through their star rating system with 1 being the least efficient and 5 being the most efficient. Many are familiar with this system, as it is followed in appliances such as refrigerators, Air conditioners, TVs, and a few…
Motors are the primary component in a ceiling fan and this blog throws light on working of ceiling fan motors especially BLDC motors. Electric Motor And It’s Working We come across hundreds of motors in our daily life from domestic to industrial applications. Motors are electrical machines that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy (rotational motion). This rotational motion can be translated into linear motions as well based on the application. All electric motors have the following parts: Stator –…

The innovation in Superfan spans from design to marketing and sales, and it has brought a revolution in a sluggish Indian ceiling fan industry Technology – Hardware + Firmware We are the pioneers in BLDC technology for ceiling fans in India. The hardware design with its firmware is a breakthrough in the ceiling fan industry, which is validated by the patents received for the same….
Ceiling fans are the primary space cooling appliance in India. Ceiling fans may seem like a simple concept, but like everything else in the world, there are misconceptions and myths. Here are some common misconceptions and myths about ceiling fans. Ceiling Fans Cool The Room No! Ceiling fans don’t alter room temperature. It promotes air circulation and has no control over room temperature. The chillness we feel when under a ceiling fan is because it escalates the evaporation of our…
