1. What is a Wall-Mounted Fan?
Wall-mounted fans have a design and motor similar to other conventional electric fans but are designed to be wall-mounted. Users can easily control the fan via pull cords or remote controls.
2. Benefits and Limitations of Wall-Mounted Fans
Benefits
- Wall-mounted fans have a compact design and are fixed on walls, saving significant living space.
- Elevated installation position ensures even airflow from top to bottom, creating a comfortable and pleasant sensation. Moreover, this placement also ensures safety for families with young children by preventing them from reaching the fan blades while in motion.
- The fan can adjust airflow direction left or right, up or down, enhancing wider air circulation and expanding the cooling area.
Limitations
- Due to its fixed design, moving the fan to another space for use is inconvenient and challenging.
- Difficulty in disassembly and cleaning of the fan.
- The pull cord control mechanism of the fan is prone to damage if frequently pulled forcefully.
3. Proper Use of Wall-Mounted Fans: Safety and Efficiency
Install the Fan Appropriately for the Space and Usage Area
Wall-mounted fans typically have a blade span of around 40-45 cm and a power consumption of 40-55W. They are fixed at a high position, making them ideal for use in bedrooms, study rooms, reading rooms, etc., with an area of about 10-12 m².
For smaller spaces and usage areas, the fan can maximize its cooling capabilities, spreading cool air throughout the room.
Placement of the Fan
The optimal installation height for the fan is around 2.5 - 2.7 meters above the ground to ensure user safety and keep it out of reach of children. Additionally, this placement helps circulate and distribute air efficiently within the room.
