why do ceiling fans rotates in anticlockwise direction n table fan ii clockwise direction?

Answer 1

1. Fans come with a forward and a reverse setting. When you click it to "forward", the fan blows the air down. Standing under the fan, you will feel a breeze. When you click it to "reverse", the fan reverses rotation and blows the air up. Now, when you stand under the fan, you won't feel a breeze.

So, during the winter, turn the fan to "reverse" to circulate the warm air without blowing air down and cooling you in the process. Hot air rises and a ceiling fan, running in reverse, gently mixes the air.

During the summer, on the other hand, turn it to "forward" to create a wind-chill effect as the air moves against your skin and cools you.

So far, what I've said holds true for rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings. Fan companies recommend this procedure.

"Some people with higher ceilings, like a stairwell, often do the opposite of this," Marcus of Lamp Depot says and explains their rationale. Cool air sinks to the floor, which causes the lower levels to be cooler and the upper levels hotter. So, in the summer, they run the fan in a blowing-up direction to keep cool air-conditioned air, which is coming out of their upstairs vents, upstairs where they want it.

In the winter, they run the fan in the blowing-down direction to move warm air into the lower levels of the house where they spend their time during the day. They feel no draft downstairs because they are too far away from the fan.

2. Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan - additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!

Answer 2

A lot of ceiling fans rotate either way depending on whether winter or summer. Heat rises...so depending on the season you'd pick the direction. One way would remove the hot air from the ceiling and circulate it into the room (winter) while the other direction would recirculate the hot air within the room making it feel cooler (summer). Can't remember which direction for which, that's my husband's job!!

Answer 3

The rotation of a ceiling fan is dependant upon the pitch, or angle of the blade, and whether you want the air flowing towards the floor to give direct draft cooling, or if you want it flowing towards the ceiling to provide indirect air flow (usually perferred when the room is being heated). The rotation of a table fan is determined by the winding of the motor and pitch of the blades.

Answer 4

This is mainly because of the diversity in their working principles. Every fan needs a motor that allows rotational motion.

Taking into consideration the structure of a motor, there are two major parts - The motor itself and the armature. Out of these two parts, one part is always stationary while the other moves around it's axis allowing rotation of any object that is attached to it.

Ceiling fans have a stationary armature and the motor moves in the counter-clockwise direction. Since, the blades of the fan are attached to the motor, the ceiling fan rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.

It is exactly opposite for a table fan. The motor is stationary and the armature moves to give motion to the fan blades. Because of Newton's 3rd law of motion that states - "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.", the stationary motor gives the armature a push in the opposite direction. This causes the blades of the table fan that are attached to the armature, to move in clockwise direction.

Answer 5

You can run a ceiling fan in either direction. There should be a switch on the unit itself.

Answer 6

Mine don't, so your assertion that this is a fact is erroneous.

Many ceiling fans have a selector switch that will provide rotation in either direction.

Answer 7

Each and every fan has a motor that allows rotational motion. There are two parts, motor which rotates blades and stationary armature. Ceiling fans have a stationary armature and the motor moves in the anti-clockwise direction where the blades are attached. In table fans, motor is stationary and the armature moves to give motion to the fan blades in clockwise direction.

Answer 8

I can run mine in either direction. There is a switch on the side where you can change the direction of spin. good luck.

Answer 9

it is all due to the wings arrangement. by looking carefully you can notice that the wings are bend on one side. it is different for ceiling fans and table fans.
