<p>At least one duct (104) is disposed proximate an electric ceiling fan motor (34) within a housing (30) includes one or more heating elements (160, 162). One or more motors (140) driving one or more fans (152, 154) is mounted in each duct (104) to draw air through an inlet (156), heat the inflowing air, and exhaust the heated air through an outlet (106, 108). Each duct (104) may be thermally insulated from the ceiling fan motor (34) and/or the housing (30) to prevent overheating during operation. The upwardly moving air from the ceiling fan mixes with the heated air exhausted from each outlet (106, 108). As a result of the air movement within the room caused by the ceiling fan, the heated air will be uniformly dispersed and the room uniformly heated.</p> |
