window fan
Frame-mounted air circulator
A window fan is a portable electric fan designed to fit in a window frame, drawing air in from outside or pushing indoor air out.
Unlike air conditioners, window fans simply move air rather than cooling it: We set up the window fan to pull in the cool night air.
They're often used in pairs—one pulling air in, another pushing it out—to create cross-ventilation.
