Comparison ArmorStandart WindDot AF1 vs TOPK K52

The number of preset speeds at which the fan blades can rotate. The rotation speed is usually set by pressing the corresponding button (in addition, there is also a stepless adjustment, see the relevant paragraph). Most modern models with step adjustment have three preset speeds.

The maximum noise level produced by the fan when operating at the highest speed. For comparison: a noise of 30 dB corresponds to a distinguishable whisper at a distance of 5 m, 40 dB — to human speech, and 50 dB — to the sound background in an office room. The quieter the fan runs, the more comfortable it is to use.

The item refers to axial fans and gives an idea of the size of the device. The larger the size, the more airflow the fan can produce at lower RPM (and therefore less noise). It is worth noting that sometimes this indicator is indicated for the blades, and sometimes it is fully indicated for the entire grill body. However, this already gives an idea about the size and capabilities of the device.

With the same power and blade width, fans with numerous blades can boast of greater air mass distillation performance. However, the formation of a powerful airflow is not affected by the number of blades, but by their diameter. In addition, the operation of multi-bladed fans is usually associated with an increased level of noise.
