It depends on the pitch of the blades.

How can I effectively cool a two-story house using fans?

To effectively cool a two-story house using fans, place box fans in windows on the lower floor facing inward to bring in cool air. Use ceiling fans on the upper floor to circulate air and create a breeze. Open windows on the upper floor to allow hot air to escape. This will help create a cross breeze and cool the house efficiently.


Why is it best to place a room heater on the floor but air conditioner near the ceiling?

Placing a room heater on the floor allows warm air to rise naturally and heat the space more efficiently. In contrast, placing an air conditioner near the ceiling allows cool air to fall and circulate more effectively throughout the room, providing better cooling coverage.


Why it is more effective for heaters to be place close to the floor and coolers to be place closer to the ceiling?

Heaters are placed closer to the floor because hot air rises, allowing the heat to circulate more evenly throughout the room. Coolers are placed closer to the ceiling because cold air sinks, making it more efficient to cool the entire room by starting at the top and allowing the cool air to gradually descend.


What are the energy transformations in a ceiling fan?

In a ceiling fan, electrical energy from the power source is converted into mechanical energy, which drives the rotation of the fan blades. As the blades spin, they create air movement which can help cool a room. Thus, the energy transformation involves electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy and then to kinetic energy in the moving air.


Which way should fan go for cool what direction should ceiling fan be going for cool air?

In order to cool a room with a ceiling fan, the fan blades should rotate counterclockwise to create a downdraft of cool air. This direction helps create a wind-chill effect, making you feel cooler without changing the room temperature.

Why is the air temperature near the ceiling of a room tends to be warmer than near th floor?

The hot air is lighter than the cool air so it floats to the ceiling.:)


What would happen if you tried to heat a room with a radiator that was positioned at the top of the wall?

The ceiling will be very warm, while the floor will be cool.

Air deflector for ceiling air conditioner vents?

Cool air falls toward the floor. Deflectors shouldn't be necessary unless the vent is behind a curtain or something, or if you want to deflect the cool air toward your easy chair.

Why the air temperature near the ceiling of the room tends to be warmer than near the floor?

Because warm air rises over cool air. Warm air is less dense than cool air, and it's lifted by buoyancy and floats on the more dense cool air.


Why is it desirable to install an air conditioner near the ceiling of a room and not close to the floor?

Installing an air conditioner near the ceiling of a room is desirable because hot air rises and tends to accumulate near the ceiling. By placing the air conditioner there, it can more effectively circulate and cool the warm air that has risen. Additionally, cool air is denser than warm air, so it will naturally sink and spread throughout the room once it has been cooled near the ceiling. This positioning also helps to create a more even distribution of cool air throughout the space.

can a ceiling fan cool an entire house?

A single ceiling fan cannot cool an entire large home. However there are whole home fans which can achieve this.


Which direction is a ceiling fan supposed to go in the summer clockwise or counter clockwise?

Depends on how the blades are angled. In winter, you want it to blow the warm air off the ceiling, to the floor. In summer, you want it to pull the cool air upwards.


How do you determine what size ceiling fan for a room 14'x15'?

A 36" fan should be adequate. Mount it at least a foot from the ceiling (18" is better) and run it reversed, to draw the cool air up from the floor and spread it around the room. That will also reduce drafts and dust.
