A fan is an indispensable electrical device during the summer. Properly optimizing fan arrangement is crucial, as improper or inadequate placement can diminish cooling efficiency and lead to increased power consumption.
1. Optimizing Fan Arrangement
Proper fan arrangement is vital to enhance cooling efficiency and save energy.
According to TS Nguyễn Phan Kiên, Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications, Hanoi University of Science and Technology: firstly, use the right type of fan. Currently, the market offers various types of fans, but placing fans appropriately for each location is essential, rather than arranging them based on personal preferences.
Optimal Fan Choices for Different Rooms
Avoid using desk or box fans for spacious living rooms, as it may require 2-3 fans for effective cooling. Similarly, refrain from installing ceiling fans in compact bedrooms...
Furthermore, pay attention to fan placement. For example, with wall-mounted fans, avoid installing them too high, as it may reduce cooling efficiency. Also, avoid installing them too low, as it limits the cooling range.
For ceiling fans, consider the ceiling height; they are suitable for rooms with ceilings higher than 3.5m. Avoid placing fans near open windows on hot sunny days, as it may draw in hot air from outside. Also, keep fans away from seating areas and beds.
