What was a fan?
A fan has the task of moving the air in a room.

What was an oscillating fan?
The term "oscillation" is derived from the Latin "oszillare" and stands for swinging, swinging or fluctuating.
As a result, the impeller of an oscillating fan does not blow firmly in one direction. The rotating fan also swivels sideways to the right and left. The rotation range for most devices is between 90° and 180° .
This offers the great advantage that a much larger part of the room can be covered. In addition, the perceived cooling is much more pleasant if the cooling air flow does not continuously affect the body.
Depending on the manufacturer and type of fan, the oscillation function can be switched on and off.
Purchase criteria for the fan – what do you need to pay attention to?
When buying a fan, there are a few things to consider so that you don't end up being disappointed:
- When purchasing, not only the fan type plays an important role, but also dimensions and stability. The fan power and blade diameter should also be decisive for the purchase.
- Air circulation in m³ per hour plays an important role, especially in larger rooms or public buildings, whereas this point is hardly relevant for domestic use.
- If you want a little more comfort, make sure that the fan has a remote control and has different features. Finally, budget or price-performance ratio are also an important criterion.
FAQ - Fan FAQ
How does a fan work?
A fan is only able to move the air in a room. The fan or the air movement does not reduce the room temperature. This does not have to be the case, because the moving air automatically generates a cooling feeling in humans.
What should the performance of a fan be?
The strength of a fan depends primarily on the size of the room to be ventilated. As the noise level increases as the power increases, you should also take note of the operating noise. Especially when the fan is to be used in offices.
Where should a fan be placed?
A fan should be set up in such a way that the persons to whom it is intended to provide cooling are within the generated air flow. A fan that is built too far away has no cooling effect.
In open rooms, a fan can also be used as a fan by blowing warm air out of the room to the outside or by transporting cool air from the outside to the inside.
Who invented the fan?
More than 2000 years ago, Egyptians recognized the cooling effect of moving air and used fan as a precursor to the fan. The fan was then invented in 1740 by Stephen Hales, who transported the bad air inside ships to the outside. The electric ceiling fan was invented in 1882 by Phillip Diehl.
Conclusion – that's how you can find the optimal fan
Especially the place of use plays an important role and is decisive for the new fan model. Small extras, such as sleeve functions, performance and so on, are of course also very important, but are individually dependant on your own taste and needs.
