Energy Efficient Fans

Efficient Axial-Flow FRP Fans - The axial flow fans are widely used
for providing the required airflow for heat & mass transfer
operations in various industrial equipment and processes. The grey area
today is the inconsistency in proper aerofoil selection &
dimensional stability of the metallic impellers. This leads to high
power consumption & high noise levels with lesser efficiency.
Keeping in view the international trends and energy savings potential,
the project on 'Development of Energy Efficient FRP Axial-flow Fans' was
launched by the Mission in partnership with M/s. Parag Fans &
Cooling Systems Ltd., Dewas (MP). The project involves improvisation of
fan design by the selection of the most appropriate aerodynamic blade
shape to suit specific airflow applications, development of suitable
composite materials and Structural design to replace the use of metals
such as aluminium and mild steel in impeilers. FRP fans can thus replace
the conventional metallic fans which have less efficient operation, high
power consumption and shorter life span. Read more from this page on

Fans - Ceiling fan/light combination units that have earned the
ENERGY STAR are about 50% more efficient than conventional fan/light
units. While ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans use improved motors and
blade designs, you can dramatically increase your savings with ENERGY STAR
qualified lighting.

Efficient Fan by Dimensional and Physical Design Parameters
- Energy
Efficient Ceiling Fans - These are fans that have met the
qualifications of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's
Energy Star program. Ceiling fans that have earned this label are
about 10% more efficient than standard ceiling fans. This can save you
from 13 to 24 dollars per year on utility bills, plus any additional air
conditioning or heating savings you may gain when your fan is operated
properly.
- Industrial
ceiling fans / energy efficiency fan: provides an energy efficient
alternative to conventional industrial ceiling fans, heavy duty fans and
expensive air movement devices. This air circulation device allows
customers to achieve HVAC energy savings and reduce energy costs, saving
them money. These industrial ceiling fans are environmentally sound,
cost effective and an innovative technology.

Fans an Important Energy Saver: It is an important energy saver in
your home. Portable fans save energy, too, but provide less
"atmosphere." Here are several key points to remember when selecting
and using ceiling fans for energy savings.
- Doing
More with less: Many old technologies today are using more energy
than they should. Smarter and more efficient choices are becoming
available for everything that consumes energy – lighting, pumps,
chillers, fans, motors, cooling coils, you name it. Because markets
alone are often inadequate in eliminating energy waste, Fresh Energy
maintains that legislation, regulation, and incentives are key
components to a successful transformation.
- Saving
Energy with Indoor Air Movement: The cooling effect of indoor air
movement from circulator fans has been discounted in many strategies for
increased energy efficiency. Gusting air flow can significantly enhance
the cooling effect at low velocities. It is concluded that strategies
for energy efficiency that discount the benefits of increased indoor air
movement forfeit significant energy savings. Further research on cooling
effects of indoor air movement for higher velocities, lower clothing
insulation and higher activity levels is needed.
- Fan
System Efficiency: The session introduces the DOE's Fan System
Assessment Tool (FSAT), powerful analysis software that helps to
quantify the potential benefits of configuring fan systems for optimal
performance, calculates the amount of energy use by a fan system, and
estimates fan system efficiency.
