DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0051] The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 1A, the present disclosure discloses a fan (100) that includes a main hub (102A) perpendicularly aligned to a main shaft (102B). The hub (102A) houses a number of components including such as but not limited to electrical assemblies, multiple sensors, a BLDC motor, and a compute unit (118).

[0053] The electrical assemblies are well known in the art such as wirings and circuits. Multiple sensors include such as but not limited to a LIDAR, IR, Camera or SONAR sensor (130A), a temperature sensor, AQI sensor, a Bluetooth sensor, a thermal imaging sensor, a UVC light emitter (130B), an infrared (IR) occupancy sensor among others. The LIDAR sensor (130A) is configured to scan dimensions of the room i.e. size of the room. The LiDAR sensor (130A) is placed on the face of the hub (102A) or on the fan blades (106). Powering on the fan (100) for the first time rotates the fan (100) slowly to let the LiDAR sensor (130A) to collect the 3D data of the room, number of people in the room and their respective locations. Once the LiDAR sensor (130A) finishes task of collecting the data, the collected data is sent to subunits (118B) associated with the compute unit (118) for analysis. The compute unit (118) analyses the data for room dimensions, and based on preset algorithms for maximum efficiency, highest reach, maximum air throw and least noise production, angles of the fan blades (106) are dynamically changed without any manual input or manual labour while the fan is in motion and gains speed without any of the people present in the room having to work for it.

[0054] The temperature sensor senses temperature of the room i.e. environmental temperature if summer, winter, spring, autumn and further intraseasonal variation in the environmental temperatures. The AQI sensor senses quality of air. The Bluetooth sensor senses if there is another fan (one or multiple) in vicinity of the fan (100). The thermal imaging sensor an infrared (IR) occupancy sensor senses number of living beings in the room. The LiDAR/SONAR/Camera or IR sensors sense if there is any wall in close vicinity of the fan (100) or paired fan(s) when the fan (100) is in running state or idle state. The UVC light emitter (130B) is placed on face of the hub (102A) or on the fan blades (106). The UVC light emitter (130B) is configured to sanitise the room when there are no occupants in the room. The ingressed air within the fan is UV sterilized using a separate UV light pipe (130C) apart from the outer UVC light emitter (130B) placed in the fan's hub facing downward.

[0055] In the present disclosure, the fan (100) involves mechanisms to cause either angular shift or speed variation or both of the fan blades (106) to impact air attack and air fluid dynamics of the fan (100) on the basis of either of user input parameters or data collected from the multiple sensors or both. Consequently, the fan (100) has the BLDC motor installed in the hub (102A), which in turn allows thereto be placed in rooms with low ceiling heights. The BLDC motor is attached to the main shaft (102B) such that threaded shaft thereof points downwards and parallel to that of the main shaft (102B). There is a unique metal plate such that there are vertical protrusions facing downwards that guide air flow into the fan blades and providing assistance in angular change of the blades. Number of such protrusions depend upon the number of blades of the fan (100).

[0056] The compute unit (118) is discussed hereinafter in conjunction with associated figures.

[0057] The hub (102A) has a LED display (104) on the face thereof. The LED display (104) displays various status indicators that reflect status of the fan (100) in running and idle positions. The parameters may include such as but not limited to different power modes, current angular shift value of fan blades (106), current speed value of the fan blades (106), power at which internal components such as air purifier, temperature changing modules operate, room temperature, Air Quality Index (AQI), the filter life, connectivity status, et cetera. The information seen by the user at a turn of their head gives assurance to the user about the real time difference the fan (100) is making in daily life. The LED display does not rotate along with the fan's blades thereby giving the user a fixed display output.

[0058] The hub (102A) has multiple fan blades (106) detachably attached there around radially. Each of the fan blades (106) includes a detachable shaft (108), as shown in FIG. 1B. There is a joinery assembly (114) detachably connected to the shaft (108). The joinery assembly (114) is configured to cause angular shift of the fan blades (106) to impact air attack and air fluid dynamics of the fan (100) on the basis of either of user input parameters or data collected from the multiple sensors or both through various exemplary mechanisms as discussed in detail hereinafter with conjunction of associated figures.

[0059] The joinery assembly (114) pivot on the same axis as that of the fan blades (106). The joinery assembly (114) pivot on either of the X, Y or Z axes in positive or negative coordinates, in accordance to the output received from the algorithms to optimise user's end selection. If the fan hangs from the ceiling on Y-axis, and the fan blade (106) extends out perpendicular to that of the hub (102A) towards X-axis, the joinery assembly (114) is able to rotate in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions on the X-axis. The joinery assembly (114) pivot on one plane only. The amount of rotation executed by the fan blade (106) is decided by various subunits (118B) associated with the compute unit (118).

[0060] In an embodiment as shown in FIG. 1A and exposed view in FIG. 1C, there is a canopy (120) surrounding the main shaft (102B) of the fan (100). The canopy (120) is configured to house multi-layered air filtration unit (126) along with a UVC light pipe (130C) and a temperature modulating element (128). The filter cassette would have multiple layers of filters on it such as HEPA, Carbon Filter, and so on. In an embodiment, the air filtration unit (126) may be an inbuilt filter cartridge consisting of filtration layers such as prefilter, HEPA filter, activated carbon filter et cetera through which the impure polluted air passes, gets filtered, and exits through the fan's blades. The sucked in polluted air is also subjected to an ionizer and UV sterilization inside the hub (102A) through a UVC light pipe, which is separate from a UV source being available outside the fan (100) for the room sanitisation, if there is nobody detected to be present in the room. This purified and sanitised air gets circulated throughout the room. The filtration cartridge is made of two cylindrical halves which snap onto each other, this allows for an easy and convenient replacement of the filter when it reaches the end of its life cycle, without the need to disassemble the fan. A simple pull to unsnap mechanism ensures a quick and easy filter replacement without any manual labour or extensive disassembly of the fan's canopy.

[0061] The canopy (120) is aligned such that the canopy (120) has two portionsan upper portion (122A) and lower portion (122B). The upper portion (122A) encases the air filtration unit (126) while the lower portion (122B) encases the temperature modulating element (128). The temperature modulating element (128) includes such as but not limited to heating coil, heat discs, heating ring, Peltier plate, and/or combinations thereof, and so on. Temperature sensors and Thermal imaging sensor of the temperature modulating element (128) collect data such as the room temperature, environment temperature, number of occupants in the room, and sends thereto to the compute unit (118) in real time. Depending upon the pre-set user preferences or by learning the user behaviour via implementing AI/ML, the compute unit (118) sends out signals to the heating and cooling mechanisms present inside the main hub (102A). When the temperature of the room is warm, and the user wants to lower it down, the user can switch on the cooling by inputting the commands via a remote control to the fan (100). The temperature modulating element (128) gets activated. Such a cooling mechanism is placed in the path which the air takes from the fan's air purification inlets and out from the exit trims or outlets present on the fan's blades. When the air comes into contact with the surface of the temperature modulating element (128), its temperature gets reduced. This cooler air gets circulated out into the room and results in a temperature drop of a few degrees Celsius. Similarly, if the room temperature is cold such as in winters, and the user wants a warmer temperature, they can change so by commanding the fan (100) via remote control. The compute unit (118) receives the signal from an electronic device and activates the temperature modulating element (128). In case of exemplary Peltier coil, a reverse current passes there through and thereby creating a hot surface for the air to flow over. In case of a heating coil or any such heating mechanism, the current given is modulated such that the air getting circulated out doesn't get too warm. The air enters from the air purification inlets, flows over the heating element surface, and exits through the outlets on the fan's exit outlets or trims. The air escapes into the room thereby making it slightly warmer and more comfortable for the user, all the while giving out purified clean air for breathing.

[0062] The upper portion (122A) has multiple openings (124) in the form of either slits or perforations through which surrounding air enters or egresses and gets processed through the air filtration unit (126) for filtration. The lower portion (122B) includes multiple temperature modulating elements (128) affixed on walls thereof. The temperature modulating element (128) warms up or cools the filtered air depending upon the environmental temperature and the user selected parameters defined hereinafter. The temperature modulating elements (128), for example Peltier plates are hexagonal or similar structural in shape so as to provide maximum surface area for contact for the purified air that exits from the air filtration unit (126) and move towards the lower portion (122B). The hexagonal or similar shape such as triangular, square, and so on as aforementioned allows for the least number of Peltier plates to be used to provide the maximum surface area in the given volumetric space, thereby reducing cost, weight, and maintenance of overall fan (100) and associated components and units.

[0063] In the embodiment, the canopy (120) has a distinct one-touch coupling and decoupling mechanism to ensure easy maintenance at any given time. The canopy (120) may be opened and closed back using a simple one-click mechanism. In such a mechanism, the user holds the upper portion (122A) of the canopy (120) firmly and pull thereto out. The user now is able to access the air filtration unit (126). The user is able to replace the old air filtration unit (126) by new one followed by snapping back the upper portion (122A) of the canopy (120) in place. Similarly, the user accesses the lower portion (122B) through the one-click mechanism to keep a check on the temperature modulating element (128).

[0064] In an embodiment as shown in FIG. 1D, the fan blades (106) include a channel (110) for continuous circulation of air from the canopy (120) to egress the filtered air of required temperature through the fan blades (106). The fan blades (106) further have openings therein underneath the channel (110) to egress the processed air. As shown in embodiments in FIG. 1E, each of the fan blades (106) includes respective trims (112) that may include multiple indentations/openings in the form of either slits or perforations or any type of opening to egress the filtered warm or cold air after processing through the air filtration unit (126) and the temperature modulating unit (128). The egressed air has been purified, heated or cooled by flowing through the fan's unibody, and exits the fan's enclosure through the trims (220) through the fan (100) present on each of the fan's blades (106).

[0065] In some embodiments, the fan blades (106) or the trim (112) may have a removable storage unit in the form of a capsule containing a liquid convertible into mist. Such a liquid may be sanitizing liquid or a perfume. In some embodiment, the capsule may be divided into two compartments, out of which one compartment may store the sanitizing liquid while another compartment may store the perfume. In some embodiments, the capsule may contain only the sanitizing liquid. The capsule may have perforations through which the sanitizing liquid and/or the perfume may be sprayed in the form of mist once the thermal imaging sensor an infrared (IR) occupancy sensor senses absence of the living beings in the room. Such a mist sanitizes the room along with the UVC light emitter (130B), ensuring a clean and hygiene environment for the users. Such a capsule is replaceable and detachable.

[0066] In some embodiments, the capsule may only contain the perfume, which may be released in the form of mist spreading miniscule amounts of fragrance in the requirement as per user's preference or automatically depending upon the data collected by the AQI sensor, thereby keeping the environment smelling fresh and welcoming. Such a capsule is replaceable and detachable.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 1F, the air first ingresses through the openings (124) of the upper portion (120A) and flows through the air filtration unit (126), then flows over the temperature modulating elements (128) to be processed by being heated or cooled depending upon the feedback received from the compute unit (118) with regard to environmental temperature and user input parameters. The processed air i.e. filtered and warm or cool air then egresses through either the channel (110) and the corresponding openings just beneath the channel (110) in the fan blades (106) or the openings in the trims (112) in the fan blades (106). Simultaneously, the joinery assembly (114) causes either angular shift or speed variation or both of the fan blades (106) to impact air attack and air fluid dynamics of the fan (100) on the basis of either of user input parameters or data collected from the multiple sensors or both through exemplary mechanisms as discussed in detail hereinafter.

[0068] In some embodiments, the fan (100) also has a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module which makes thereto a smart IoT device and lets thereto communicate with similar fans and electronics in its vicinity. By communicating with other fans, a local mesh network is created which makes the fans work in synchronization to provide the best possible air throw and multi-climate zones throughout the room as per the user's preferences. Thus, this mesh network communication between multiple fans in the same room also allows for a regional climate control in the room as shown in FIG. 1J. In one of the embodiments, the fans in the connected network can operate smartly to modulate each other's speed and blade angles in such a way that one may provide more or less air throw than that of the other based on the inputs from the air pressure sensors to ensure that the rooms' multi climate zones are maintained as per the users' preferences. The fan (100) also has features such as modulating the airflows to mimic natural breeze or silent calm air flow or any such predefined air flow patterns.

[0069] The compute unit (118) is a microcontroller that is placed inside the hub (102A). The compute unit (118) has a memory (118A) associated therewith. The memory (118A) is a temporary repository of record of parameters as dimensioned by the multiple sensors first time of running of the fan (100) and after every event of air circulation in a time series manner. The memory (118A) is also a permanent repository of the user input parameters that are being selected by the user for every event of air circulation. The compute unit (118) accompanied with a plurality of subunits (118B), as shown in FIG. 1G. The subunits include such as but not limited to an input subunit (118B1), an analysis subunit (118B2), an actuating subunit (118B3), an air processing subunit (118B4), an air circulation subunit (118B5), and so on.

[0070] The input subunit (118B1) is configured to receive input from either the multiple sensors or the user input parameters or both. Multiple sensors have already defined hereinabove. The user input parameters include either a particular value or a particular range of room temperature, and either a particular value or a particular range of fan speed.

[0071] The analysis subunit (118B2) is configured to analyse the received input to determine either angular shift or amount of speed to vary or both of the fan blades (106), thereby impacting air attack and air fluid dynamics of the fan (100) to meet required efficiency of the fan (100). This effectively modulates power to deliver the required temperature variation for the room, to impact air attack and air fluid dynamics of the fan (100) as per either user input preferences or data collected from the multiple sensors or both, along with managing noise output. The angular shift and the speed of the fan are both determined by the analysis subunit in such a way, that by pre-fed algorithms, the fan is intelligent enough to know that in a room of this particular size, if the fan rotates at a particular speed with the blades at a particular angle, the amount of air displacing every second is a throw area, and a particular temperature difference may be brought upon in the room. And by the sensors on the fan, the analysis subunit (118B2) determines the size of the room, where the inhabitants of the room are sitting, and other data required to make an informed decision.

[0072] The actuating subunit (118B3) is configured to actuate alignment of the shaft (108) with respect to the joinery assembly (114) in such a way to cause either angular shift or speed variation or both of the fan blades (106) to impact air attack of the fan (100) and air fluid dynamics dynamically to meet the required efficiency.

[0073] The air circulation subunit (118B5) is configured for circulating volume of air of required temperature and air quality index as per the analysis by the analysis subunit (118B2).

[0074] Hence, the fan (100) is configured to gather real time data from multiple sensors including such as but not limited to dimensions of the room, room temperature, presence and working of another fan in the room, presence and relative positioning of people, placement of fan relative to the closest mounting surface behind the fan, nearest wall, et cetera. The compute unit (118) gathers the data using a LiDAR (130A) or similar single or multi-planar sensors known in the art. Once the fan is powered on, the fan rotates slowly for the first complete rotation, thereby enabling the sensors to collect the three-dimensional data of the room. Once the LiDAR and similar sensor (3) finishes collecting the data, the collected data is sent in real time to the analysis subunit (118B2) of the compute unit (118) for analysis. The received data is processed on a real-time basis on the fan's computational module or through remote cloud. The data is sent to backend servers or user's mobile device over 4G, 5G, Wifi, Bluetooth et cetera. The compute unit (118) analyses the data for room dimensions, and based on a combination of preset algorithms for maximum efficiency, maximum air throw, optimised air purification, optimal or user preferable room temperature, air production, user's selected preferences along with generation of least noise, the angles of the fan blades and the speed of air flow during purification process are set. Since the fan (100) is an IoT (Internet of Things) product, it has the ability to connect to the internet. In that case, it can process the gathered data on cloud rather than having an on-board computer unit to process the data.

[0075] Change in angles of the fan blades may be done autonomously and automatically both when the fan is powered on and running, or powered on and stationary. There are various actuating mechanisms to adjust the angles of the fan blades. The mechanism may include such as but not limited to electromagnetic, hydraulic, pneumatic, epicyclic, propellor based or electric actuator based. The fan (100) includes an actuator including such as but not limited to air-based pneumatic actuator, oil-based hydraulic, an electromechanical actuator connected to the detachable shaft (108).

[0076] In one embodiment of the electromagnetic mechanism shown in FIG. 1H, the fan blade (106) includes a cam (132) connected to the detachable shaft (108). The cam (132) includes a T-shaped body (132A) having multiple indentations (132C) on arm (132B) thereof. There is an electromagnetic cylindrical element (134) having a pin (136) protruding outwardly therefrom such that to lock the indentation (132C) as the cam (132) rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. Each electromagnet or a pair of electromagnets (138) is placed at either side of the cam (132) to attract or repel thereto towards or away from each other respectively to cause change in the angle of the fan blades (106). The fan blades (106) are connected to the cam (132) via a connector (138). The connector (138) has a slit on one face for the fan blade (106) to insert. On the opposite face, shaft of the cam (132) is inserted into the connector (138). The cam (132) is made up of a strong and robust ferromagnetic material. One end of the cam (132) is attached to the shaft which is connected to the connector (138) linking the fan blade (106) and the cam (132). The other end of the shaft has multiple indentations (132C) which enables the cam (132) to get locked into its place by an electromagnetically powered pin (136). The electromagnetically powered pin (136) is placed such that it may retract inwards to let the cam rotate, or project outwards to keep thereto locked in its place. The indentations (132C) in the cam (132) may be at such angles which are optimal for maximum performance and efficiency. There are electromagnets (140) placed above and below the cam (132). When the angle needs to be adjusted, an electric current is passed through either of the electromagnets (140). When the electric current is passed through the electromagnet (140) placed above the cam (132), the cam (132) is attracted towards thereto, thereby resulting in rotation of the shaft. The connector (138) connected thereto also rotates, which in turn changes the angle of the fan blade (106) too, and the blade angle of the fan (100) gets adjusted. So in order to not let the fan blade (106) rattle when operating, or come back to its original position, the cam (132) gets locked into a stopper (142) and stays there, until another angle adjustment needs to be made based on either the user input parameters or the automatic algorithms of the compute unit (118) at a point where the electric current is passed through the electromagnet (140) placed below the cam (132), and the cam (132) gets pulled downwards.

[0077] In another embodiment as shown in FIG. 1I, exemplary mechanism utilizes a bevel gears setup assembly (150). A main gear (152) of the assembly (150) may be driven using an auxiliary motor (154), which is inside the hub (102A) of the fan (100). Objective of a low power consumption of the auxiliary motor (150) is to drive the main bevel gear (152). The main bevel gear (152) may be connected perpendicularly to a secondary gear (156). Shaft (158) of the secondary gear (156) is directly connected to the fan blade (106). When the auxiliary motor (154) turns the main bevel gear setup (152), it rotates in either clockwise, or anticlockwise direction. Rotation of the main bevel gear setup (152) rotates all the gears connected thereto, and thereby, changing the angle of the fan blade (106). Once the desired angle of the fan blade (106) is achieved, the auxiliary motor (154) stops rotating, and locks the gears in place thereof.

[0078] Another exemplary mechanism may utilize an epicyclic gear mechanism setup assembly. An epicyclic gear arrangement is placed inside the hub (102A) such that the fan blades (106) are in contact with the epicyclic gear arrangement via bevel gears. When the fan (100) rotates, the whole epicyclic gear mechanism setup assembly rotates as threaded shaft thereof is freely separated by a ball bearing from a stator shaft. When angles of the fan blades (106) need to be adjusted, an auxiliary motor is connected to the threaded shaft by a threaded shaft of its own. The motor when given the signal by the electronics of the fan, rotates the main sun gear of the epicyclic gear arrangement. This brings a motion in the rest of the gears as well, resulting in the motion of the bevel gear, which in turn changes the angle of the blades attached to it.

[0079] The fan (100) can also adjust the blade angles individually while compensating for the imbalance of the air resistance, thereby giving out different airflow patterns and modulate the spread of purified air or the disinfectant mist.

[0080] It is contemplated that the aforementioned exemplary mechanisms are provided for brief understanding of the present disclosure by technical persons skilled in the art and may not be considered just as limiting in the disclosure. There may be more mechanisms to achieve the objectives of the present disclosure.

[0081] The present disclosure has various advantages including such as but not limited to ability to dynamically change its shape to adapt to rooms of various sizes and user needs, dynamic variation in the air flow and air attack angle makes thereto versatile in a saturated field of ceiling fans.

[0082] As shown in flowchart in FIG. 2, the present disclosure discloses a method (200) for ensuring complete ventilation and exhaustive air purification in a room along with enhancement in volume, temperature and distribution of air throw and circulation of purified air from the top of the room. The fan (100) is configured to receive input from either the multiple sensors or the user input parameters or both. The received data is analysed to determine either angular shift or amount of speed to vary or both of the fan blades (106), thereby to impact air attack and air fluid dynamics of the fan (100) to meet required efficiency of the fan (100). Then, the shaft (108) is actuated to align with respect to joinery assembly (114) in such a way to cause either angular shift or speed variation or both of the fan blades (106) to impact air attack of the fan (100) and air fluid dynamics dynamically to meet the required efficiency. The air throw to be circulated is also processed for filtration and temperature modulation. The air and its volume is enhanced by the mixing the purified and processed air which is egressed from the fan's trims with the external unprocessed air which is being pushed downwards by the fan's blades due to their air attack angles and movements. This mixing and movement of the air processed within the fan with the external air is enhanced by the distribution of this air throw and circulation along with dynamic variation in air attack and air fluid dynamics thereof based on real time environmental parameters, room parameters, and user preferences.

[0083] In another embodiment (shown in FIG. 1K), an external compressor unit (180) such as a heating unit, cooling unit, or a similar temperature modulation unit is placed on the premises of the building. An air egression duct (182) of the unit (180) is connected to the fan's (100) canopy via an air tight leakproof insulated air channel. This allows for the fan (100) to be directly linked with the building unit's central heating or cooling systems. The temperature modulated air which the fan (100) receives from the external temperature modulation unit is circulated throughout the space in an efficient and fast manner.

[0084] In a nutshell in an exemplary for better understanding of the present disclosure, a person in New Delhi is in his bedroom during the month of March, when the temperature outside is hot enough for running a fan indoors, but still cold enough to not put on an air conditioner. It is 3 PM and the temperature outside is 30 degrees Celsius. Due to the onwards of spring season, there is a lot of pollen in the air, due to this the person cannot step outside, nor can they open the windows of their room. The person is feeling hot and uncomfortable. They switch on the fan (100). The fan (100) records the environment temperature using the inbuilt temperature sensor, the AQI sensor records the air quality data and the thermal sensor along with the LiDAR sensor locates the position of the person and creates a 3D map of the room updating the fan's location in the room. Now the compute receives the data from the sensors and the algorithms process it. Once processed, it decides upon the speed at which the fan should rotate to provide most soothing air throw at the person. The compute also signals the actuating unit to set the fan blades at a particular angle so that the air is not only soft and calming in its throw, but also aimed at the space where the person is located in the room by ensuring maximum reach if the person is seated farther from the fan. In case the person is seated near the fan, the fan's blades change their angles accordingly. The compute unit also sends out a signal to the air filtration unit to run itself at a certain level so as to circulate clean and healthy pollen-free, particulate-free air for the person. Lastly, the compute also sends out commands to the temperature modulation unit to operate at a certain temperature so that the room temperature can be brought down from an uncomfortable 30 degrees to a more comfortable 24 to 27 degrees Celsius range. By 3:05 PM the AQI of the room has improved, and the temperature has also started trickling down.

[0085] FIG. 3 shows a graph depicting rapid speed at which the pollutants decrease in a room where the present invention is deployed. The graph showcases the rapid speed at which the pollutants decrease in a room where the fan (100) is deployed. Hence, [0086] Rapid Air Quality Improvement: The fan (100) effectively reduced PM 2.5 levels from 999 to 50 in 90 minutes, showcasing its powerful air purification capabilities. [0087] HEPA+UV Combination: The integrated HEPA filter trapped fine particulate matter, while the UV LED neutralized airborne microbes, providing a comprehensive purification solution. [0088] Dynamic Airflow: The fan's unique blade adjustment ensured optimal circulation, evenly distributing purified air throughout the room. [0089] Efficient Dual Functionality: Unlike standalone air purifiers or traditional fans, the fan (100) combines air purification and cooling, making it an all-in-one solution for indoor environments. Thus, the fan (100) has practical application in Urban Settings, ideal for homes, offices, and healthcare facilities where air quality is a primary concern. [0090] Energy Efficiency: Despite its robust performance, the fan (100) operates on a low-power BLDC motor, ensuring cost-effective operation.

[0091] Users may achieve improved indoor air quality without the need for additional air purification devices; Enhanced comfort through dynamic airflow and cooling capabilities; A sustainable, energy-efficient solution for healthier living spaces.

[0092] The real-world test demonstrates that the fan (100) is not just a fan but a revolutionary device that addresses air quality and comfort simultaneously.
