sähkötuuletinta

Sähkötuuletinta, known in English as an electric fan, is a common household appliance designed to move air. It consists of a motor that drives a set of rotating blades. When the blades spin, they push air, creating a breeze. This circulation of air can make a room feel cooler and more comfortable, especially during hot weather.

Electric fans are available in various forms. Table fans are small and portable, suitable for placement on desks or tables. Pedestal fans are taller and often adjustable in height, providing a wider circulation of air. Tower fans are slim and upright, occupying less floor space. Wall-mounted fans can be fixed to a wall, freeing up floor and table space. Ceiling fans are installed on the ceiling and circulate air throughout a room.

The primary function of a sähkötuuletinta is to promote air circulation. While fans do not lower the actual temperature of the air, the movement of air across the skin causes evaporation of perspiration, which in turn has a cooling effect on the body. This makes them an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioning for moderate temperature reduction. They are also used to improve ventilation and to help dry damp areas. Safety features often include protective grilles over the blades to prevent accidental contact.
