Is an air circulator the same as a fan?
Technically, it’s not even called a fan at all, but rather an air circulator (though I’ve been using the names interchangeably). A traditional fan moves the air directly around it, providing you with a cool blast. Air circulators, on the other hand, are more aerodynamic and keep air in the room moving continuously.
When should I use an air circulator fan?
In the winter months, point an air circulator at the ceiling, on the lowest speed setting, to move and mix the hot and cold air. Any fan placed closer to the floor will move colder air, it’s all a matter of how powerful the fan is and whether there are any obstacles in the way of the air flow.
What is an air circulation fan?
The air circulator fan or circulation fans are an integral part of cooling, heat circulation or stirring stale stagnant air within any building or facility. These circulating fans work in conjunction with, and are not a replacement for air conditioning, heating, and exhaust fans.
Are air circulators worth it?
In contrast to a traditional fan which brings only cooling benefits when directly facing you; an air circulator works for any season, keeping the air in motion and making the entire room more comfortable to be in… with many other benefits! Most fans simply lack the aerodynamics to keep the air in the room in motion.
Are Vornado fans worth the money?
The Vornado 630 Medium Air Circulator is a simple, powerful, and reliable fan that can move huge amounts of air without making too much noise. It’s one of the most affordable fans we tested that packs enough power to send breezes throughout a large space. It’s also compact—not much bigger than a basketball.
What are air circulators good for?
This jet stream helps maintain a constant room temperature by ridding the room of cold and warm spots. It also clears stuffy atmospheres by circulating stale air with fresh air from an open window. Pointing the air circulator towards your air conditioning helps distribute the cool air faster, saving time and energy.
Does an air circulator cool a room?
During Summer, pointing the air circulator towards a wall halfway between the floor and the ceiling, as well as using the highest setting, will set up a high speed air circulation pattern. This will cool down the room in an efficient manner.
Does Vornado cool room?
Vornados create a vortex that circulates air across an entire room. This affordable, modestly-sized Vornado air-circulator is powerful enough to cool down a small room.
Where should I place my Vornado?
In summer, we recommend running the unit on “High” and aiming the beam of air so that it hits a wall across the room roughly halfway up. This will allow for the establishment of a high speed circulation pattern in the room.
