RPM
Revolutions per minute. It indicates the speed at which the fan spins and, therefore, is related to power consumption. The higher the RPM, the higher the consumption. It is related to the "airflow" but does not directly affect the amount of air it can move.
AIRFLOW (Airflow)
When choosing a ceiling fan you may have come across the term "airflow". But what does it really mean and why do some fans have more airflow than others? In this article, we'll break down everything you need to know about airflow in ceiling fans and how it affects your comfort and energy efficiency at home.
Airflow refers to the amount of air a ceiling fan can move. It is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). This measurement is crucial because it determines how effective the fan will be in cooling a room.
Airflow measures the amount of air a fan can move.
Fan size : The larger the blade, the more air it can move.
The fan design : It can influence the amount of air a fan moves. More horizontal blades move less air.
Among fans of the same size, airflow will depend on the speed (RPM), blade design, and motor power.
