- A power supply is a device that supplies electrical energy to one or more electric loads.
- The terms is commonly applied to devices that converted to one form of electrical energy to another, through it may also refer to devices that convert another energy form to electrical energy.
Conclusions :
1) To circulate the air effectively, absorb fan should be used. The type of absorb fan is depending on the quantity of circulated air and the speed to circulate air.
2) Every power supply must be obtained the energy it supplies to its load as well as any energy it consumes while performing that task from an energy sources.
