Why did the cooling fan break after a short period of use?Let’s take a look at the factors that will affect the service life of the fan.

Quality and Manufacturing: high quality fans typically use high-quality bearings, motors, and blades, making them more durable and reliable.

Bearing Types: Common bearing types include ball bearings and hydraulic bearings. Ball bearings generally have longer life and lower friction, while hydraulic bearings have advantages in terms of noise and vibration.

Usage environment: If the fan often works in a high temperature or humid environment, it will increase the risk of mechanical wear and electrical failure.

Speed and load: Excessive speed or long-term operation under high load will cause excessive bearing wear and failure.

Temperature management: If the fan frequently runs in a high-temperature environment, it will accelerate the aging and wear of parts, thus shortening its life.

Maintenance and Cleaning: The accumulation of dust, dirt, and debris can cause imbalance and blockage of fan blades, affecting heat dissipation and increasing mechanical load.

It should be noted that the life of a cooling fan is determined by a combination of factors, some of which may be interrelated. Therefore, when selecting, using and maintaining a fan, it is necessary to consider various factors and follow the manufacturer's recommendations and guidance.
