Electric fans are mechanical devices that move air and other gases vital to human comfort and safety in industrial processes, whereas disinfection measures are needed to limit the possible contamination of viruses like the Covid-19 Virus. The Automatic Disinfectant Fan uses a microcontroller device, sensors, and electronic components to automatically switch on the electric fan when a human presence is detected. When no human presence is detected, the fan automatically sprays disinfectant for a predetermined period. The weighted mean was used to characterize and analyze the data collected. The Automatic Disinfectant Fan was evaluated with a mean score of 4.09, which was described as “agree” in terms of functional suitability, performance efficiency, usability, reliability, and portability. The evaluation of the Automatic Disinfectant Fan’s system design and implementation showed that it had achieved its goal, and potential advancements for the system are suggested.
