..am sure all y'all are already aware of this........
....When standing UNDER a ceiling fan, looking up...
.................and.........................blade s are rotating Clockwise....
........................................... you are pushing air UP toward the ceiling.
...when blades are rotating Counter-clockwise....
............you are pushing air directly DOWN toward the floor...
...............creating a maximum evaporative cooling effect directly below the fan.
In addition to fan speed .... MAXIMUM cooling effect is obtained by
.......INCREASING the DIAMETER of the fan... and....
................. increasing the distance from ceiling to the fan. (the downrod).
..
Our paddle fans were creating a combo of downward and outward
circulation..and were therefore gifted to a relative...
....were then replaced by larger diameter regular style outdoor rated ceiling fans.
The lanai needs OUTDOOR rated fans for two reasons.....
...motor needs to be water resistant...and...
...outdoor blades do not end up drooping in the humid weather.
