Enhance Your Comfort and Savings with Superfan's Fine Speed Control

Traditional ceiling fans typically offer only five fixed speed settings, restricting users to predefined airflow levels. This limitation forces users to settle for airflow that may not be ideal, leading to either discomfort or unnecessary energy consumption.

Superfan revolutionizes this experience with its Fine Speed Control, allowing precise adjustments in 5 RPM decrements. With a speed range from 140 RPM to 385 RPM, users can select their ideal comfort level, ensuring maximum cooling efficiency without unnecessary power wastage.

Why Superfan saves more electricity than other BLDCfans

Many consumers compare BLDC fans based solely on their advertised input
power, which typically ranges between 26W to 35W for a 1200mm BLDC ceiling fan.
However, true energy savings are about more than just input power—factors like
airflow efficiency, power factor, total harmonic distortion (THD), and idle
power consumption also play a critical role.

When Superfan is compared with BLDC fans like Atomberg Renesa, Crompton
Energion, Havells Efficiencia etc, it outperforms most of these efficiency
parameters while ensuring transparent specifications.

Are BLDC Fans Reliable?

With the growing focus on energy-efficient appliances through new
policies and standards in India, in the space of fans, BLDC (Brushless DC)(Link the motor type blog) fans have gained popularity as a modern and sustainable alternative to traditional ACIM (AC Induction Motor) fans. BLDC fans have been there in the market since 2012(link), so they have been quite well-proven in the market. While the electricity savings are quite significant with BLDC fans, their penetration in the market is still gradual due to some market dynamics and its high initial cost. Additionally, consumers are wary of their reliability as it may be new to them.

Does a Ceiling Fan Use More Electricity at Full Speed?

Ceiling fans are one of the most commonly used appliances in homes, but many consumers wonder if running them at lower speeds can save electricity. The answer depends on the type of fan and speed regulation mechanism. While developing Superfan for its launch in 2012, our goal was to create a truly efficient fan. One of the key focus areas was minimizing energy waste at every speed setting while ensuring precise speed control and stability once set. This challenge was another important aspect we wanted to address when designing Superfan.

Are BLDC Ceiling Fans Worth the Price? 

When considering ceiling fans, many consumers wonder if the higher price tag of BLDC fans. With their growing popularity due to energy efficiency and modern features, BLDC fans are often described as an investment rather than just a purchase. But are they truly worth it? 

How Does a Ceiling Fan Work? 

Ceiling fans have been a primary thermal comfort appliance in homes and commercial spaces for more than a century. The principle behind ceiling fans makes them simple appliances and the most energy-efficient solution for staying cool. While they don’t lower the air temperature, ceiling fans make the occupants feel cooler and provide comfort. Let us dive into the mechanics and science behind this essential appliance and its working.

What Type of Motor is Used in Ceiling Fans?

Ceiling fans have been basic active cooling devices for homes and commercial spaces for more than a century, providing an energy-efficient way to maintain comfort. A ceiling fan is a motor attached to a set of blades that rotate to push the air in the required direction; in the case of ceiling fans, it is towards the floor from the ceiling. Its efficiency depends on the motor and blade shape. The type of motor typically decides its efficiency, performance, features, and cost.

Ceiling Fan Control Options: Innovative Solutions for Modern Comfort

HIGH FLOW CEILING FANS & HIGH SPEED CEILING FANS

How ceiling fans move air? A ceiling fan is a simple electrical appliance with blades mounted on a motor which rotates the blades to push the air and create airflow. The airflow from ceiling fans is measured in Cubic Meter Per Minute (CMM). The airflow has two components, the volume of air moved and the speed at which that volume of air moves. Fan designers vary the two components to make fans suitable for different applications with the same airflow….

CAN A BLDC CEILING FAN CONSUME 28W OR LESSER?

BLDC ceiling fans are marketed based only on their power consumption. But the power consumption depends on various other parameters, size, airflow, speed to name a few. Especially the ’28 W‘ is being used in the market a lot, is it true? Can a BLDC ceiling fan consume 28W or lesser? There could be two possibilities: 1. It could be a marketing gimmick of expressing the specification of the BLDC ceiling fan in a clever way to deceive. One step…

ECO-FRIENDLINESS IS A WAY OF LIFE AT SUPERFAN

Many BLDC ceiling fans are marketed as eco-friendly, as they save about 1 kg of CO2 emissions and 2 liters of water every day by conserving electricity. While claiming eco-friendliness in advertisements, they seem to continue to use plastics in packaging, not utilizing ROHS electronic components, not avoiding processes that impact the environment. Their claim of eco-friendliness tends to be empty especially when those manufacturers began making BLDC ceiling fans because of the government mandates. Is postponing bee star rating…

WHY IS CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE OF CEILING FAN IMPORTANT?

A ceiling fan is an energy efficient and a cost-efficient space cooling solution compared to air conditioners or air coolers. The difference is due to the fundamental way each of these solutions cools an occupant. This difference can be succinctly put into words without a technical explanation by Dr. Mayur (Superfan) – AC cools the room while the fan cools the humans in the room. As the fan cools only the occupant in the room, its coverage area is critical…

DOES YOUR BLDC CEILING FAN HAVE LIGHTNING PROTECTION?

Let us begin with the understanding the power surge and its common causes. A power surge is simply an unexpected increase in voltage, it is also called transient voltage. The common causes are fluctuations caused by large appliances like ACs, washers, dryers, lightening, load dump at the power grid, improper wiring.  It is commonly observed that electronics are sensitive to failure due to a power surge – a sudden burst of electricity higher than normal levels. One of the major…

REGULATOR BLDC CEILING FANS

The function of a regulator is to provide the user with control over the fan. This control comes with a loss of power. Therefore, it is good to choose the type of regulator that minimizes this loss (To know more read: What does a fan regulator do? ). Regulators also save energy as the user can operate the fan at the desired RPM, which may be lower than the highest RPM in many instances. Currently, capacitive-based regulators are the best…

THE HIGH RPM MYTH: AN INSIDER’S PERSPECTIVE ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT CEILING FAN

Comfort is High Flow not High Speed Introduction For decades, the Indian ceiling fan industry has pedalled the idea that fans with higher Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) deliver superior thermal comfort. This pervasive belief has shaped the understanding of both consumers and sellers, leading to an oversight of a critical fan specification – airflow, measured in Cubic Meters per Minute (CMM). This misconception is not only depriving consumers of better value but also compromising their overall comfort. Indeed, the pursuit…

ARE SMALL CEILING FANS EFFECTIVE?

Typically, ceiling fan size ranges from 24 inches to 60 inches, the size refers to the diameter of the ceiling fan. Fans cool people by generating an airflow around them and the general principle is that the larger fans move a larger volume of air. Certain spaces like a pooja room, a small office cubicle, a cashier desk, a dressing space, a study nook, etc. require a small ceiling fan as   these spaces require confined narrow airflow spread to…

WHERE 60-INCH CEILING FANS CAN BE USED? [TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 60-INCH CEILING FAN]

There are fewer choices in 60” ceiling fans in India. This may be due to the lack of knowledge among the consumers and shops, to the need to appropriately size the fan and reap its advantages. Typically, the 48” (1200 mm) ceiling fan irrespective of its fit to the space and suffers a lack in comfort, energy and cost efficiency. In a 60” inch ceiling fan, 60” refers to the diameter of the fan including the motor. The size is…
