Fan capacitor manufacturing is a niche industry in the Middle East, but one that has the potential to grow, thanks to the region’s growing population and reliance on electronics. The first fan capacitor factory in the Middle East was opened in Dubai in 2017. The region is also a key market for specialist capacitor manufacturer Faurecia, which has operations in Dubai and plans to invest in a further two factories in the region by 2022. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of a capacitor is electricity. But fans are actually a type of capacitor, known as a fan capacitor . They’re used in electric motors and other electronic devices to store electric charges. The purpose of a fan capacitor is to store an electric charge for use when the motor is not turning.
