Fans have been around for hundreds of years. And so is the span of this material being used to keep environments and people cool by inducing airflow and refresh it when it reaches you or a specific room or area. Before any other process chillers or cooling machines were introduced, fans have already long existed. The word itself, even, is said to have dated back in as early as the late 1300s when the term “fan” was first coined. The first hand held model though was known around the early 1500s while the first commercial viable fans were made available in the 1920s in the United States of America.
The use of “manual fans” in which the idea mechanical fans were derived from dates back to ancient times, perhaps thousands of years ago. You can even see pictures of Egyptian pharaohs being cooled using fans in many history books. It was perhaps a multipurpose ornament or décor than can keep the pharaohs cool and away from insects at the same time. During those times, leaves were the most common material that could have been used or feathers. This is of quite the same nature in South America. Places in Asia like Japan and China are also no exemptions. Most of that in Asia use thick paper and sticks for the fan. It also believed that they were also used as weapons.
Later, the popularity of fans entered Europe where it went through a glamorous transformation (or their own version) made with laces, silk, and elegant decorations. Many years later, fans then became alive with the help of electricity and thus made way for the first ceiling fan made by Diehl. Mass production brought down the price of fans until it became a common household need or commodity.
Today the technology behind fans and the ventilation process it facades have increased and evolved through out the years. Most cooling devices manufactured nowadays such as in an air conditioning chiller particularly those air cooled chillers use fans to generate the process cooling method. These industrial chillers are often used for ventilation in many establishments and manufacturing plant; to a simple bathroom to keep out damp air.
It is undeniable that fans have become a big factor in the Cooling and Ventilation Industry. In fact, it is used in three large markets, namely the domestic market, industrial market and the commercial market.
