Hello there, I am Udaya, and I will be reviewing the BLDC fan from the manufacturer named Superfan I will tell you how you can save 10000rs over 5 years by switching to BLDC from the conventional Induction Fans that are common in everyone’s household for the past decades.
First a little bit of history – Superfan is a part of a 30-year-old company called Versa Drives Private Limited company located in Coimbatore, India. In the year 2010 they began to investigate the issue of inefficiency in normal induction fans which led them to stumble upon the study – Ceiling Fan: The Overlooked Appliance conducted by Prayas and an NGO based in Pune. The study in short says there are about 40+ cores of fans in India consuming over 100 million units of electricity every day. This emits 100000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and 200000 litres of water contamination every day. This led them to develop India’s first Brush-Less DC motor Ceiling fans, which are now popularly known as BLDC fans in the market.
Design
There are two models of the Superfan High-Speed Ceiling fan and High Flow Ceiling fan, I am going to review the High Flow ceiling fan
The design of this fan is similar to the normal induction fan the rotor and stator are dome shaped but the difference is that the dome is stationary and the blades are attached to the windings directly via the rotor so the fan appears to be stationary but the blades spin above it it’s an engineering miracle, The Blades are aerodynamically designed so that even at low speed it can produce a natural breeze with high efficiency. The shape of the blades also makes it silent about 46 dBA when you are standing 45 dBA while sitting and 43 dBA while sleeping when compared to other fans it’s 2 times Quiter.
Technical Specification
The Super Q High Flow fans come in various sizes starting from 24″ which is 600 mm up to 60″ which is 1500 mm in diameter. The typical speed ranges from 420 rpm to 210 rpm larger the blade span lesser the rpm. Obliviously the input voltage is 230V and it has a high power factor >0.9 which means it is efficient.
Smart Features.
The Super Q fans come with a Smart Remote which lets you control the different aspects of the fans instead of getting up in the middle of the night to find the regulator and manually changing the speed of the fan. The Super Q BLDC fans can be used adjacent to an AC because of their smart features the Evaporative cooling and Natural Wind chill effect of the Super Q BLDC fans complement the Conductive cooling of the Air Conditioners so when both are combined the temperature can be maintained by consuming least amount of energy leading to a 15% reduction in power consumption. The remote also has timers built in then so you can run the BLCD fan for a particular interval and it automatically is turned off.
Safety Features
The Smart Q BLDC fan is built to last it is made up of a high-grade metal and Plastic combination that complement each other and handle the force that acts on the Blades. Superfan is the only manufacturer that provides a safety wire inside the box to prevent the fan from falling in case of failure. Superfan High Flow BLDC fan also comes with High voltage and lighting protection of up to 1okV at 8/20uS which means it can handle surge in pulse up to 10KV for the duration of 8/20uS. They are also the only fans that have this level of protection among other BLDC fans available in the market.
Health and Environmental Benefits
Have you ever woken up in the morning with a Stuffy nose, Cough & Sneeze, Dryness and Tiredness it might be because of the speed fan, in the starting I mentioned two types of fans speed and High flow fans, High-speed fans along with moving large amounts of air also increase the static pressure inside the room by about 21% causing all the above symptoms when it’s used for a long period, But they are not always bad High-speed fans work fantastic in Kitchen and Factories where high static pressure is requires. I am using Super Q high flow fans in my Hall, Bedroom, Dining etc to avoid such nuances.
Super Q BLDC fans come in a plastic-free packing which helps in reducing the landfill and microplastic entering the environment, Also it is BEE 5 Star Rated meaning you reduce around 1.5 kg of CO2 emissions every day.
Warranty and Colour Options:
Super Q BLDC fans from Super Fan come with around 5 Years of warranty and onsite repair within the warranty period if any issue arises, They are available in several colours and different finishes including hand-painted Blades for a designer look that represents Indian Culture, practices, Heritage and art.
Now let us come to the part where I tell you how we can save 10000 rs by running the fan for over 5 years.
A Normal Induction fan consumes around 80 Watts so if the fan is running for 24 hrs it will consume 1.9 units a day and if you multiply that by 30 days it comes to 57 Watts if we assume the Cost of the Unit be 6 Rs which is the rate where I am from to monthly bill comes to around 342 Rs
No, let’s compare the Super Q BLDC fans it consumes around 35 Watts which comes to around 0.8 units for 24 hrs and for a month that is 24 units and the rate for a unit is 6 Rs so the cost for running the Super Q BLDC fan 24 hrs for 30 days is 144 Rs. Now if you look closely that is 50 % Less cost compared to normal Induction fans. Now if you are using the fan for Five Years Normal Induction Fan costs us 20500 Rs over five years (342 Rs x 12 Months x 5 years), At the same time Super Q BLDC fans cost us only rs 8640 Rs over 5 years. Now I hope I have justified the title that BLDC fans save you around 10000 Rs over Five years
Cost and Conclusion:
The cost of the Super Q BLDC fans comes to around 6000 Rs per unit including all accessories It is available Online on Superfan.in the official website and offline partner stores.
BLDC fans are the latest innovation in Ceiling fans and it is 50% more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to normal induction fans, So adopting this latest technology will help us reduce our energy consumption and also positively impact the environment.
My Verdict
I wish the Super Q BLDC fans from Superfan become a little less expensive in the future as the technology develops but in the long run, it saves a large amount in electricity costs compared to Old Induction Fans, So if you are building a new house or thinking about buying a new Ceiling fan shortly I would recommend BLDC fans especially form Superfan
