Ceiling fan direction setting.

- Summer is counterclockwise while winter is clockwise. Ceiling fans are very helpful with cooling your home and they are also extremely quiet.
Sorry my fan blades weren’t extremely clean.
I have a Eurolamp ceiling fan that comes with a remote. Sadly I don't have the model number handy. The paperwork that came with it doesn't indicate any helpful information.
I watched 4 videos before this one and finally got a plain and simple explanation about the correct direction of turn on a ceiling fan> Thank you for posting!
I'm really glad I can help, you are very welcome!
Simple, air down in the summer and up in the winter. Your Welcome!
excellent explanation for smooth brain like me LOL! I was wondering y the hell was feeling so much more cool air blowing down when I thought I had it going clockwise but was looking at fan eye level but if you view from underneath and imagine it being a clock it was actually counter-clockwise. All set now HA!
Clockwise = winter
Counter-clockwise = summer
I have been left confused with all these videos. Although some say counterwise for summer, I feel more air circulation around the room clockwise feeling cooler. If I have it on counterwise, the air is felt standing directly downward under the fan.
I am in the same boat i think I will just leave it clockwise cause it does feel better
Nope. The key operative: ALWAYS have fan blowing DOWN, all seasons. For some fans this is CW, others CCW. But DOWN does the trick. Winter warm air with the fan blowing UP won't mix into the occupied area of the room because the entry side of the fan operates at a relatively low velocity, and low velocity does not penetrate very far.
The exit side velocity is considerably higher than the entry side velocity when the fan is operating at high speed. This pushes the warmer air out and down from the ceiling which is desirable in the winter months. In the summer months the fan should be running in the opposite direction, pushing the air down for the evaporative effect.
@@francoamerican4632 The exit velocity is several times more than the entry velocity at EVERY speed, not just high speed; the fan discharge isn't "out", it's "up". Winter: when you push warm air up, it hits the ceiling, loses directionality (which means it loses almost all of its velocity head [loses velocity pressure] ). It moves out of the ceiling circle defined by the perimeter of the blades, but at a very low velocity (circle circumference times distance from ceiling, divided into air flow, gives outflow velocity, but it's a relatively small value). Because it's warm air with relatively low velocity, it sticks to the ceiling. You end up "stirring" the air at the ceiling level, down to about 12" below the fan intake. Your head might feel warmer if you're standing up, but the rest of the room gets no heat benefit. You end up wasting energy because the ceiling is warmer, and is thus losing heat upwards to the roof (or floor above). You're also using a smidge of energy running the fan, but getting no benefit. If you run the fan in direction "down" in the winter, it takes the air from the warm ceiling layer, and punches it to the floor because the discharge air velocity has an open pathway down; you retain the velocity pressure/velocity/"throw" (distance air travels). At low speed in the winter, you get heat transfer down, and in most cases fairly mild skin evaporative cooling. For those sensitive to winter air flow down, just shut off the fan. Or wear long sleeve sweaters.
