bordfläkt

Bordfläkt, often translated as table fan or desk fan, is a small, portable electric fan designed for localized cooling. These fans typically feature a motor that drives a set of blades enclosed within a protective grille. Their compact size allows them to be easily placed on a table, desk, or other flat surfaces, making them ideal for personal use in offices, bedrooms, or workshops.

Bordfläkt models come in various designs, including oscillating and non-oscillating types. Oscillating fans can swivel back and forth, distributing airflow over a wider area. Some advanced models may also offer adjustable tilt angles and multiple speed settings, providing greater control over the cooling effect. Power sources can include standard AC outlets or, in some portable versions, batteries or USB connections.

The primary function of a bordfläkt is to create a gentle breeze, which helps to dissipate body heat and create a more comfortable environment. While they do not significantly lower the ambient temperature, the movement of air can make a noticeable difference in perceived comfort, especially in warmer conditions. They are a common and affordable solution for personal cooling needs.
