The comfort of creation has always been a need or desire for debate. The fan is a creature of comfort that man has used. Fans began simply, from hand fans to tapestries or rugs, with the use of pulleys to create air currents operated by servants. As technology advanced, the need for a more efficient method of circulating air to control the temperature within a given structure became a demand. An example of an early attempt at ventilation is that of Dr. John Théophile Desaguliers, playing with the idea of a fire generating heat in a fireplace (Fanmakers). With the heat rising in the well, it draws air from the room in which it was installed. It later evolved into a fan system to purge the Earl of Westmoreland's mines of the stale and stagnant air they contained. By 1745 he had improved the design of the fan system and installed it in the Houses of Parliament (Fanmakers). Today, we have more sophisticated and advanced versions, accessible to everyone. Fans are an integral part of society. It is present in all developed regions of the world. And it is one of the most widespread technologies in the modern era. For example, many aspects of the transportation industry, businesses, and personal equipment require the use of fans. Without fans, the modern world would grind to a halt due to equipment overheating (Brittannica). The types of fans and their uses vary according to the different classifications available. In this article, the three main types of fans will be explored, but the focus will be on the axial flow fan type. There are broad classifications of fan types and their uses. These types of fans are centrifugal fans also known as radials, cross flow or tubular fans and axial flow fans (Yaskawa Electric Ame...... middle of paper...... and, However, a build-up from the tube-axial design It added vanes to control the flow of air moving through the tubular housing of the fan to increase or decrease the volume of air passing through it. Axial fin is widely used in computer technology as well as in automobile engines to cool parts that are prone to overheating (Yaskawa Electric America, Inc.). Each fan has its uses and effectiveness for each applicable purpose in each part of. our daily lives. This technological advancement compared to manual versions of manual fans and overhead tapestries swinging back and forth that slaves usedFans are essential to maintaining favorable indoor climate conditions, depending on their size, type of. blade, their classification, their power as well as their configuration. Because without fans, most electronic components would fail and the rest of the equipment that depends on fans would also fail...
