A detailed buying guide: how to choose a fan.
This section covers electric fans for workshops, production halls, warehouses and building sites as well as for home and garden: floor, desk and wall fans, industrial drum fans and portable axial and centrifugal fans with a duct hose for cooling, air circulation, ventilating basements and confined spaces, extracting welding smoke, dust and paint fumes, and drying. For an overview, read what electrical equipment is and how it is classified.
Floor, desk and wall fans suit workshops, offices and homes, floor drum fans produce a strong directed stream in large halls and on site, wall-mounted industrial models keep the floor clear, and portable fans with a duct hose supply fresh air to, or extract contaminated air from, basements, shafts, tanks and welding points. Read fan types and airflow capacity (m³/h).
Airflow (m³/h) shows the volume of air moved, while the blade or impeller diameter determines the width and reach of the stream. For hose models static pressure matters too, as a long or bent hose reduces flow. See airflow volume and speed in blowers and what is performance or output.
Ordinary floor and desk fans draw about 30–150 W, while industrial and hose models draw from a few hundred watts to several kilowatts. Most run on 220 V, while large-diameter, high-output models may need 380 V. See how to choose tool power (W) and volt (V).
Look at the number of speeds and the switch type, head tilt adjustment, oscillation, timer, remote control and cable length. See what is speed control.
For building sites, models with wheels, a handle and a stable frame are convenient; for permanent installation, choose a wall- or column-bracket model. In offices and homes, and for long shifts, low noise matters. See what is noise level in db.
For workshops, warehouses, building sites or damp rooms, choose a model with a metal or tough plastic housing and a guard, protected against dust and water splashes. Where flammable vapours or gases are present, only explosion-proof fans are permitted. See what is an IP rating.
A sturdy guard, stable mounting and motor overheat protection matter for continuous operation. On site, plug the fan into an earthed socket or a suitable extension lead and clean dust off the blades regularly. Read what is motor thermal protection, how to choose sockets, plugs, extension leads and power strips, how to use fans and dehumidifiers safely and essential power tool safety rules.
At ToolsArmenia you can compare fans by type and purpose, airflow, diameter, power, supply and noise level and choose the right model for a workshop, building site, home or garden.
