PROCEDURE FOR IMPORTING ELECTRIC FANS

An electric fan is a device that uses electricity to generate cool air. Electric fans are of many types, such as ceiling fans, standing fans, box fans, tree fans, centrifugal fans, axial fans, etc. Electric fans operate on the principle of magnetic induction of alternating or rotating electric motors. The impeller is attached to the shaft of the motor and rotates in the direction of the current. As the blades rotate, they create low gas pressure on the back and high gas pressure on the front, creating airflow that moves from the front to the back of the fan. Electric fans have many applications in life, such as cooling, ventilation, drying, evaporation, etc. Electric fans can also be used to increase the performance of other appliances, such as air conditioners, heaters, vacuum cleaners, etc.
