How effectively a pedestal fan blowing inward can bring the outside air if kept 2 feet away from a fully open window

exhaust-fanventilation

other Facts:

Window(s) size 3.5 feet* 5 feet (width)

Fan (2 nos.) Specifications Product page – specifications

Sweep size: 400 MM

RPM: 1280

Air Delivery: 75 CMM (What is the formula to convert CMM to CFM?)

Volume of the premise : 7200 Cubic Feet

High and Low Temperature day cycle (extreme during the year):

Month Wise Temperature Chart for the Location is available here

Summer: 45 Celcius – 29 Celcius (Comfort Target 22 Celcius)

Winter: 26 Celcius – 8 Celcius (Comfort Target 26 Celcius)

Purpose: To take the advantage of Temperature gradient between external temperature and internal temperature. Use fans during the time period when beneficial and put on Air Conditioner (Cooling and Heating) when compulsorily required to achieve last lag of the temperature target.

Note: Premise is a concrete building with no insulation, so its temperature follows the external temperature. (Heats up after external temperature goes higher and cools down after external temperature goes down)

(1) How effectively a single pedestal fan (blowing inward) can bring the outside air in the room if blades are 2 feet away from a fully open window (with the distant window of same size at the other end of the house is kept open)?

(2) How effectively a pedestal fan (blowing outward) can throw the air from the room out of window if blades are 1 foot away from a fully open window (with the distant window of same size at the other end of the house is kept open)?

or

(3) How effective will be two pedestal fans (one inward and one outward placed at distant fully open windows of the house) for displacing the indoor air with outside air?

Best Answer

While this doesn't directly answer your question, maybe you should consider a true window fan such as this one

window fan

It delivers 740 CFM, has a thermostat, is not too expensive (less than $50) and will be much more effective in ensuring the flow of outside air into the room. It's also reversible, so it can be used as an exhaust fan as well.

If you need more airflow, some models go up to nearly 3000 CFM (over 90 CMM) like this one.
