Origin of Superfan
In 2010, at a conference, Sanjeev Keskar, then at Freescale, mentioned
that we should develop an electronic drive for the BLDC ceiling fan
motor as we are drive experts. A couple of days later, back at our
factory in Coimbatore, Durga walked into my room to say that he came
across an article "Ceiling fans: an overlooked appliance" by Prayas,
Pune, and was astonished by the numbers presented on the ceiling
fans. The discussions followed and it was decided to take it up as a
project considering the potential energy savings. After we developed
the drive, we realized there are no motors available in the country to
make use of our drive. By this time we had gotten into the motor
design when Ravi Nagaraj joined us. This multifaceted team could
develop a motor and drive and surpass their target specification which
still holds good. The cost, the elective policy on star rating, and their
timid approach were a deterrent to traditional manufacturers to adopt
the technology. Therefore Versa Drives decided to launch as a
complete ceiling fan under the brand name of Superfan on 12-12-2012
in Chennai. From the beginning, we were set to change the industry
and the market to be conducive to energy efficient products and thus
resulting in close association and efforts with NGOs and government
agencies as elucidated earlier.
The first Superfan was delivered to Mr. Durairaj, Trichy who ordered on
01-01-2013. The very first model - Super X1 - showed to the market that
at just 33W consumption, 230CMM airflow can be achieved. It had
several innovative and never-before-seen features like a drop-safe
remote control, low-voltage operation (120Vac), immune to supply
fluctuation, no-heat motor, and ten fun colors with recyclable
plastic-free and thermocol-free packing.
All these features have now become the norm in the industry as the
rest of the industry followed S uperfan's lead. Our first major

recognition for the innovation came from the Department of Science
and Technology when Superfan was chosen as the most innovative
product of the year at India Innovation Initiative 2013. Then came
several national and international awards to Superfan for innovation
and fearless approach in the market, most notably from Dupont, the
Global Sustainability Award 2015. In the following year, we participat­
ed in the famous Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, USA. Later
we were invited to a discussion at the White House on sustainable
products.
We continued to improve Superfan products in terms of performance
and processes. As the rest of the industry caught up to us we released
our new model Super Qin 2021, which was 50% more efficient than
the rest of the industry. This fan delivered the required airflow at only
25 W and it was chosen as the most efficient ceiling fan in the year
2020 by BEE and is still the most efficient fan in India.
The mandatory labeling has forced all the popular brands to have
these SEE in their catalog and energy efficiency has become a market
driver. Superfan was begun to replace 40 crore inefficient ceiling fans
in India with super energy efficient ceiling fans like Superfan, now with
the surge of the BLDC fans in the market, the path towards that goal is
set and the change is on the way. One of the remaining impediments
to this objective is inefficiency and waste in the existing sales and
marketing practices of the industry.
Versa Drives is applying its innovative approach to resolve these
aspects as well. Moreover, our motor control expertise is targeting
solutions that can create similar shifts in other appliances that have
motors like air coolers, ACs, and pumps and initiate a similar revolu­
tion in those spaces and build a sustainable environment for our
nation through indigenous technology

Superfan factory utilizes eco-conscious practices, materials,

and packaging. It features strategic windows, atriums, and high
ceilings to reduce lighting and cooling load while minimizing the
use of cement, sand, and water in its construction.

The avoidance of a manicured garden eliminates the need for

water, synthetic fertilizers, and insecticides. The building design
maximizes the rainwater catchment and collects hundreds of
thousands of litres of water annually.

Additionally, the factory has an organic vegetable garden for the

members. As the rest of the campus is left as it was before the
factory was constructed, the land continues to be a habitat for
diverse birds and small animals.

Tiredness

Cough& Dryness

Ceiling fans moves the air around a space and create a
wind-chill effect through evaporation of sweat on our skin,
which makes us feel cooler(also known as evaporative cooling).
This air movement has two components volume and speed,
designers of fans control these two parameters to deliver
thermal comfort. In essence fans don't cool the room but only
the people in the room.
under the fan, in a fan, the RPM and airflow are directly
proportional, when RPM is increased by 10%, airflow increases
by 10%, and static pressure increases by 21%. Thus high RPM
fans have high pressure under them. A longer exposure to this
constant pressure coupled with moisture removal may lead to
muscle stiffness and tiredness.

Typical fans in India have an airflow of 230 Cubic Meter per

Minute (CMM) and these fans achieve that by moving smaller
volumes of air at higher air speeds by rotating at high RPM
(greater than 350 RPM). Just like blowing high speed air cools
down a hot cup of tea through evaporation, our body loses
extra moisture beyond the requirement for cooling when
exposed to this high speed air for longer duration like while
sleeping. This loss of moisture may trigger nose blockages,
coughs due to dryness in the throat after a night's sleep.
Additionally, the high rotational speed increases the pressure
It is clear that volume of airflow is required for thermal comfort
than the air speed. So Superfan designed Super Q to be a "High
flow fan", its unique blade shape moves a large volume of air at
an optimal speed to deliver the same comfort as a high-speed
fan, but without the extra pressure and high speed air to
eliminate all the above-mentioned discomforts. Additionally,
this fan is quieter, more efficient, and offer wider coverage.
Due to the high efficiency blade Super Q is considered the most
efficient fan in the country, and has been recognized for it by
Ministry of Power, Govt. of India through NECA award.
