That depends on the type of fan. If it's a belt driven fan, you should be able to change the drive belt pulleys.

If it's a direct drive fan, you'll need to change the motor.

Note an exception: some direct drive fan motors have multiple connection points which provide different operation speeds. When the cover plate is removed, there is typically a chart showing how to wire the motor for different speeds. If you see no such chart, you probably cannot change the speed of the motor.

Also note: most modern fan motors are synchronous type, meaning that they control their speed from the fact that alternating current feeds the motor. If you change the input voltage it will not change the speed, but may destroy the motor. If the motor does not have brushes, you cannot use a motor speed control.

What is the mean of RPM in the Ceiling Fan speed?

Mean of rpm is in fan is that in a minute how much revulation is completed by a fan.


A fan running at 1250 rpm and one running at 1750 rpm what giving delivering more cfm's?

1. ASSUMING AIR DENSITY AND FAN BLADE DIAMETER IS CONSTANT OR THE SAME --THE LATTER (1750 RPM) DELIVERS MORE CFM WHETHER BELT DRIVEN OR DIRECT COUPLED -- SAME HP RATING OF MOTOR. 2. 1250 RPM FAN CAN MATCH THE CFM OF 1750 RPM FAN --- CHANGE OR ADJUST THE PITCH OF 1250 RPM FAN BLADE. 3. 1250 RPM FAN CAN DELIVER MORE CFM THAN THE 1750 RPM FAN --- REPLACE FAN BLADE. 4. 1250 RPM FAN CAN DELIVER MORE CFM THAN THE 1750 RPM FAN --- REPLACE WITH BIGGER HORSE POWER.

If speed of fan is increased is energy consumption increases or decreases?

Energy consumption increases due to the increased air mass flow brought about by higher fan speed.

Why would Engine temperature increase at idling?

Because the efficiency of the fan and the water pump degrades at low RPM.


What happens to the engine RPM when load is increased?

If the load you are talking about is weight not load to the engine. It will take more power to pull or haul. So RPM will go up while speed increases only marginally.
