Electric Fan Comparison Chart Last Updated: June 5 2007
Introduction
This page provides a comprehensive list of electric fans, their airflow, and their current draw. Please add electric fans to the list as you become aware of their ratings.
Before considering an electric fan, read some pros and cons on [The Electric Fan] page.
The Great List of Electric Fans
Things to Keep in Mind:- The best fan is one that provides maximum CFM with minimum current draw.
- Cells with ( * ) are placeholders where data is unknown.
- Straight blade fans are noisier than S-blade fans.
- Shrouded fans come with large shrouds - this does not refer to a small housing around the blades.
- CFM rating is most of the time at ZERO Static Pressure, meaning pulling or pushing air to or from the open. CFM rating could drop substantially when placing the fan on a heat exchanger.
- To keep this table comprehensive, it is up to you to add more data!
