In climatic engineering, fans play a crucial role in ventilation and air conditioning systems, ensuring the continuous renewal of air within buildings and eliminating harmful fumes such as smoke, odors, and vapors. Additionally, small fans find frequent applications in cooling electronic devices.

Fans can be broadly classified into two main types: propeller fans and centrifugal fans. When selecting an appropriate fan, it is essential to consider two key characteristics: the fan’s air circulation capacity and its noise level. By carefully evaluating these factors, one can make an informed decision to ensure optimal performance and minimal noise disturbance in the intended application.
