As a tropical country, India represents a massive fan market, with ~60 million units sold annually. By transitioning to Brushless Direct-Current motor (BLDC) fans, the country has the potential to achieve substantial energy and cost savings, thereby significantly reducing its carbon footprint.
Traditional ceiling fans relied on energy-hungry induction motors for years. However, a new era has dawned with the rise of BLDC technology, offering energy-efficient fans without compromising on-air delivery. BLDC fans can slash power consumption up to 69% due to their advantages over induction motors: lower electricity usage, lesser noise and enhanced lifespan. The Indian appliance industry witnessed the arrival of BLDC fans in the year 2012. Let’s dive in to see our progress so far...
Energy savings and sustainability
Firstly, BLDC Motor Fans offer remarkable energy efficiency, setting them apart from traditional AC Motor Fans. The energy consumption of AC Motor Fans remains high even at lower speeds. In contrast, BLDC Motor Fans are designed to operate efficiently at variable speeds, consuming significantly less energy as the speed decreases. BLDC Motor Fans can consume up to 70% less energy than their AC counterparts. This impressive energy efficiency helps reduce overall energy consumption and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint. Given the significant contribution of 400 million fans in India to greenhouse gas emissions, adopting BLDC Motor Fans presents a valuable opportunity for households and commercial establishments. This will help the country’s initiative in creating a greener and more sustainable future.
