BLDC fans vs normal fans: Comparison guide for energy efficiency and performance benefits
BLDC fans versus normal fans: Central difference Before we get into the details, let's first understand what fans do. Fans work by using a motor to spin blades, creating airflow that circulate air, providing cooling and ventilation.
In our regular fans, a brush is used in the motor to conduct electricity between the stationary wires and the rotating parts. BLDC fans, however, use brushless motors.
Regular fans have motors with brushes that make more noise and generate heat and need more upkeep because the brushes wear out.
BLDC fans use special motors and electronic parts, making it longer-lasting than regular AC (Alternating Current) fans.
BLDC fans versus normal fans: Other technical differences
Now, let's try and understand the other important technical differences between the two kinds of fans.Energy efficiency: BLDC fans are more energy-efficient, reducing power consumption by up to 70% compared to normal fans. These fans use magnets and controllers to cut down on power use.Noise and friction: Normal fans generate more noise and heat due to friction from brushes.
BLDC fans are quieter and cooler because they have no brushes. Because they have less friction, they can control speed better.Lifespan and maintenance: Brushes in normal fans wear out, requiring more maintenance.
