Ceiling fans should be equipped with a reversing switch to operate in a forward or reverse rotation. The ceiling fan should move the air down in the summer time and draw the air up in the winter time. The rotation of the table fan is governed by the manufacturer of the blades. These blades are contracted out and bought from a different company and the fan manufacturer will buy the cheapest ones possible. The manufacturer of the fan doesn't care what pitch blade they use, as they have the ability to run the motor in either direction depending on the blade pitch.

Generally speaking, fan blade length corresponds to air dispersal. In other words, the bigger the blades, the more air is moved by the fan's operation. Larger rooms shold look at fans with larger blades, and smaller rooms should look at fans with smaller blades.

Why ceiling fan rotates in anticlockwise direction but table fan rotates in clockwise direction?

Ceiling fans usually can rotate in either direction. There is usually a switch on the unit. This allows downflow during the warm season and upflow during the winter. The direction of rotation of a table fan is determined by the shape of the blades. A motor can be made to run in either direction but to force air to the front of the table fan, it must rotate in the direction that the blades will force the air properly.


What is the distance between the fan and ceiling?

I've a 4 ft diameter ceiling fan with 3 blades of std width (about 3") hanging at a distance of 9" from the ceiling. Floor to ceiling distance is 8'5". Problem is that when I stand at a distance of about 3 to 4 feet from the centre of the fan - there is no air-flow. So, area covered by fan is 8 ft dia (max). If I stand beyond 8 ft dia circle there is hardly any air flow. Same fan in another room is hanging at a distance of about 12" to 13" and it's covering area 12 ft dia on the floor with a reasonable air-flow. It seems that there is some co-relation between height of fan from ceiling and area covered below it. Any idea? The distance from the ceiling is of little importance unless ceiling is very tall. Size of fan, width of blades makes the difference. Pitch of the blades The angle, or pitch, of each ceiling fan blade is also a determining factor in how efficient a ceiling fan will be. The angle of the blade affects the amount of wind resistance and the fan's ability to blow the circulated air downward.
