What are the different types of exhaust fans?

There are several different types of exhaust fans. Most of them are rectangular and white or white, but some decorative fans are available. Other variations include the level of noise produced or the assessment of the sone, the amount of air flow and the aesthetic design. There are also several types of accessories that are often available in exhaust fans.

The silent fan is generally the most sought after. Manufacturers evaluate the peace of the fan with a measuring unit called SONE. The higher the sone rating, the louder the fan. It is common for quieter fans to be more expensive than louder fans, although a fan with a rating between 0.5 and 1.2 Sone is likely to be quite quiet without being too expensive. The fan, which has 2.0 to 4.0 sone, is usually too loud for home use.

Proper functioning exhaust fans in the bathroom usually produce approximately 1 cubic track (about 0.03 m ^{3 ) per minute (CFM) air flow per square footPelny. If the bathroom is 5 feet (1.52 meters) by 8 feet (2,43 meters), or 40 ft 2 (3.71 m}

2 ), the exhaust fan in the bathroom should be at least 40 cfm. A large bathroom, which contains a bathtub with a whirlpool in addition to the shower, may require two small fans at the opposite ends of the room to ensure that the humidity is effectively removed from the bathroom.

Exhaust fans in the bathroom include lights, night lights and thermal lamps. If the exhaust fan in the bathroom is the primary light source for the bathroom, then it is important to choose a fan with a sufficiently high power input to provide enough light. The fan, which only supports low -power light, such as 40 to 60 watts, can be too matte for the bathroom that has no further luminaires. The night lights have a very low power consumption, starting with 4 watts. Thermal lamps have a power consumption ratingZi from 100 to 250 watts for thermal lamp, up to 1500 or more watts for integrated heating.

The most common style for the exhaust fan in the bathroom is a rectangular shape equipped with a grill. Light is usually integrated into the center of the grill. Slightly less common, but still widely available, are round exhaust fans. Both round and rectangular forms are usually white or outside white, which mix with the color of the ceiling. Some exhaust fans are designed to be decorative and aesthetically pleasant. The grill of the decorative exhaust fan was masked to look like a ceiling ceiling accessory and comes in various colors and finishes.
