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…
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…
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….
This is blog is based on a comment from one of our older blog, How to differentiate between true manufacturers and marketers in the ceiling fan industry? What’s the difference between 28W & 35W ceiling fans? Does the lesser wattage mean more energy efficiency? How natural breeze mode in Super A1 work? The distinctions between brands are not just manufacturing and marketing, there is an addition – designers, manufacturers, marketers. Designers – Develop their own technology (Own the technology). Manufacturers…
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)…
A comparison of BLDC fans with other popular premium ceiling fans in India Ceiling fans are ubiquitous in India, and their prices generally range from Rs. 1500 to Rs. 10,000. Every year about six crore ceiling fans are sold in India, and about 15% of them are premium fans. In the ceiling fan industry, premium fans are fans that cost more than Rs. 2500. The only significant difference between economy fans and most premium fans of top brands such as…
Superfan Ceiling Fans own the rare title of “patented design” in the Indian appliance market. 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….
