Fans and ventilation devices

Fans

Fans have different sizes and functions, but their main purpose is to create a flow of air to cool us. They work on a simple principle - rotating blades move the air. This movement of air helps control the ambient temperature, which is an important factor in both domestic and industrial and commercial settings. In addition to convenience and comfort, fans are an important component for the safe and normal operation of various electrical devices, preventing overheating, fire or damage to the devices. Fans are extremely useful not only in our homes, but also in offices, shops, restaurants and other public places.

Besides their practical functions, fans can also be stylish accessories in our interior. They are available in different colors and designs, which allows us to choose them according to our preferences and style of furnishing. For example, small fans for electronic equipment and computers can be equipped with LED lighting and even with RGB multi-color backlighting, which, in addition to maintaining the correct operation of the electrical appliance, will also create a designer atmosphere.

The main fans you will find in the category are:

• Industrial fans
• Bathroom fans
• Fan for computer / electrical equipment

Industrial fans

Industrial fans play an important role in any manufacturing process. They are an integral part of ventilation and heating systems in factories, warehouses, production premises and other industrial buildings. Industrial fans provide the necessary air circulation that helps maintain optimal working conditions and protects workers from hazardous substances and fumes. They can help reduce emissions of harmful gases and fumes by providing adequate ventilation and extraction of polluted air. They can also help recirculate air, which reduces the need for heating and cooling and helps save energy.

One of the most important aspects of fans is their power and efficiency. They must be designed and built to handle large volumes of air and provide sufficient pressure. This means taking into account the dimensions, rotation speeds, as well as being made of strong and durable materials that can withstand high temperatures, humidity and aggressive substances.

Bathroom fans

A bathroom fan may seem like an insignificant addition to your home, but its importance should not be underestimated. This humble appliance plays a crucial role in maintaining a clean and healthy bathroom environment. With its ability to remove excess moisture, unpleasant odors and harmful pollutants, the bathroom fan is a must for every modern household.

One of the main benefits of having a fan in your bathroom is its ability to combat moisture. Bathrooms are naturally prone to high levels of humidity as well as vapors from the difference in air temperature in the room and running water from showers, sinks, bathtubs and others. Without proper ventilation, this moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, which not only damages your bathroom, but also poses a risk to your health. The bathroom fan effectively removes excess moisture, preventing the development of these harmful substances and keeping your bathroom dry and hygienic. By continuously circulating the air, the fan ensures the removal of these harmful substances, reducing the risk of respiratory problems and allergies.

When it comes to choosing a bathroom fan, there are several factors to consider. First, the size of your bathroom will determine the capacity of the fan. It is important to choose a fan that can adequately ventilate the space so that it can effectively remove moisture and odors. Also, the noise level is another important aspect to consider. Choose a fan that works quietly so as not to disturb your peace of mind in the bathroom.

Fan for computer / electrical equipment

The PC fan is an essential component that often goes unnoticed. It may seem insignificant, but it plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal machine performance and longevity. It is responsible for maintaining the normal and safe operation of computers, preventing overheating and damage to components. It works tirelessly to circulate air inside the computer case, dissipating the heat generated by the processor, graphics card and other power-hungry components.

It also helps keep computers stable by preventing dust and debris from accumulating. As the fan spins, it keeps dirt and dust from accumulating and keeps our machines clean and functioning optimally. In addition to everything else, fans for computers and electrical equipment have different sizes, designs and additional functionalities such as LED lighting and RGB multi-colored backlights.

Types of fans, purpose, features

Fans are extremely diverse in terms of type, size, purpose, principle of operation and characteristics. In general, according to the principle of action, they are divided into:

• Axial - where the air stream is directed along the fan axis
• Radial , also called centrifugal - with it the jet is directed in the direction of the radius of the fan.

According to the specific characteristics that make them suitable for certain activities, fans can be:

• Moisture and dust protected (with a high level of IP protection) - for work in dusty and/or humid environments. In this type of fans, the electronics and moving parts are protected by the housing and seals, so that they are not exposed to dust and moisture, which can impair their functionality or shorten their operational life.
• High temperature - for working in a high temperature environment. They are made of materials resistant to high temperatures.
• Anti-explosive - for working in an environment with flammable gases or liquids. In them, the electronics are designed and implemented in such a way as to completely eliminate the possibility of producing a spark that could ignite flammable fluids.

According to their device, fans are generally divided into three types:

• With bushing - in this type of fans, the axis rests on a bushing made of a different material. This type of fans are more affordable and therefore widely distributed, especially in activities that do not require heavy loads.
• With bearing (ball or roller) - in this type of fan, the axis is supported on a ball or roller bearing. Bearings are quieter than bushings and provide a longer service life, but they are also more expensive than them. They are used when there is a need for a more serious load or longer-lasting work.
• With a magnetic cushion (Maglev, Vapo) - in this type, the axis of the fan "floats" in the air, supported by a magnetic field. Accordingly, mechanical friction is minimized and this type of fans are the quietest and most durable, but also the most expensive.

The Vikiwat company offers a wide range of high-quality fans from leading manufacturers (MMotors, Sunon, Bahcivan and Vemark) at affordable prices suitable for a wide range of applications.
