jeda 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 Speed 1 not much wind; mainly for circulation only. Speed 2 moderate; will probably be using it cos Speed 3 is really fast. Directly below is cooling and if stand a distance away, can only blow the feet. My living room is small, so anything more than 44" will be like having helicopter blade above our head.

Hmm..Today technician came down. He measured the motor speed for speed 1 and the speed is 140rpm vs 166-200rpm as stated in the specs.. He mention that he suspect my L box is slowly the motor down which I am skeptical. Based on my knowledge, current and weight of fan blade affects the motor speed but not the L box. My L box is like 58-60 inches wide. The servicew manager mention to me saying if the fan is 44 inch, the L box must be like 4ft + 44 inches which I tell her it is impossible considering all our HDB living room is like pigeon hole. Anyway, for those who dont have enough wind, please ask technician to check. I really doubt fan speed will be affected by L box.

htng 1 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 paisay, is ask electrician for lighting (L-box) or fan installer to check? check already can have what recourse? Check is to make sure your fan is rotating at the correct speed. The speed stated 166-200 rpm. Mine is at 140rpm which is really low. Anyway, they will replace mine with a new one.

I really doubt fan speed will be affected by L box. 60 inch minus 44 inch = 16inch... means left and right of ur fan is only left with 8inch... its hardly enough for proper air circulation of a ceiling fan... my electrician friend told me tat a ceiling fan should have at least 1 to 2 feet (12inch to 24inch) on both side of fan for proper air circulation... hope this help...

Maybe I can clarify, initially I told them that there is no wind for speed 1 but reasonable for speed 2 & 3. After measuring the speed 1 speed, the speed is 15% lower than the spec. Now the question is not whether got wind or not but rather why the fan rotation speed is lower than stated. The service manager challenge my decison 2 days back but she call me today to tell that she is also puzzled by her own experiment results and she need to consult the technical expert in japan. I won't share our conversation here till I get more information from their engineers. As for the space, I respect the contractors/ electrician based on their experience but I am skeptical any contractor knows the exact answer other than trial and error.

I got 5 kdk baby and just install last week. I can conclude that I'm utterly disappointed in its performance. My 6th fan, elmark 30" out performance these 44" crap! I used to have a elmark 48" in my parents' house, speed 2 is equivalent to kdk baby fan speed 3, moreover elmark 48" has max speed 4. Seriously regret, shd stick to elmark 48", low ceiling type. Now I really wondering, 166-200rpm in spec does it include the 3 propellers. Edited August 17, 2010 by sunnytan31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The service manager challenge me and insist it is my ceiling design problem. As someone with many years of R&D experience, I tell her my theory and ask her to contact their R&D engineers in Japan HQ and check it out. After she call Japan, she told me that the 166rpm might be a problem. Until today [2 weeks later], she dare not call me up again despite I try to call her 2 times but couldnt get her.. What a joke..! Service manager! Pui! Let me try and get her and see what is her answer now Edited August 18, 2010 by htng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
