Vortice NORDIK INTERNATIONAL PLUS 140/56 Ceiling Fan 61721

61721 is the Vortice NORDIK INTERNATIONAL PLUS 140/56, a three-blade ceiling fan with 1,400 mm (56 inch) blade diameter. A single-phase capacitor motor turns it at 231 rpm for a maximum 13,500 m3/h, using only 70 W, which gives a service value of 3.214 (m3/min)/W.

A 56 inch ceiling fan for large rooms where air movement replaces cooling load

Ceiling fans move large volumes of air slowly. In the NORDIK INTERNATIONAL PLUS line the 140/56 model has three powder-coated steel blades of 1,400 mm diameter on a 375 mm steel rod, a white ABS motor cover and a start-capacitor motor with external rotor on ball bearings. The data sheet quotes a maximum airflow velocity of 1.69 m/s and sound power of 52.6 dB(A).

The fan is factory-prepared to accept an optional light kit for a lamp up to 150 W with an E27 screw fitting, and speed is selected through optional control units. The accessory bag contains the nuts, bolts, ceiling hook and rubber anti-vibration washer needed for assembly. Vortice states these appliances are designed for residential and commercial properties.

Selection and ordering guide

Four sizes are listed: 90/36 (8,550 m3/h), 120/48 (9,900 m3/h), 140/56 (13,500 m3/h) and 160/60 (14,000 m3/h), all at 70 W absorbed power. The 140/56 reaches nearly the same airflow as the 160/60 with a smaller sweep, which helps in rooms with limited headroom. The PLUS-R 140/56 IPX5 version (61742) is the IPX5-rated variant.

As a rule of thumb, a larger diameter at low speed moves air more comfortably than a small fan at high speed; choose by room size, not by price alone.

Installation and operation notes

The booklet requires the bottom edge of the blades to be at least 2.3 m above the floor in residential premises and at least 2.7 m in non-residential premises. The ambient temperature must not exceed 40 C (104 F), the ceiling must be structurally able to carry the product and anchors must be tightened and unable to unscrew through rotation.

The unit must be connected to an efficient earthing system, kept at a suitable distance from walls and objects, and switched off when not in use. Mount it with the supplied hook and rubber washer, never with improvised fittings.

Applications in Oman and the GCC

Warehouses, showrooms, mosques and prayer halls, majlis rooms, workshops and cafes where destratification and a steady breeze reduce the load on air conditioning. Where splashing water is expected, ask for the IPX5-rated R version.

The unit is rated to an ambient of 40 C, which matters in uncooled Gulf spaces; avoid mounting it in direct heat sources.

Sizing and maintenance notes

The number of ceiling fans in a room depends on its size and use. A 1,400 mm fan typically covers a medium-sized room, while large halls, mosques, classrooms and waiting areas often use several fans in a regular grid. Keep the blades at a safe height above the floor, as given in the instructions, and allow enough distance from the ceiling for air to be drawn in freely.

In the region, ceiling fans are often used together with air conditioning, as the air movement makes people feel cooler and can allow a higher thermostat setting. Mount the fan on a secure ceiling fixing able to carry the weight and the dynamic load. Clean the blades regularly, since dust on the blades adds weight unevenly and can cause wobble.
