I have a fan and it says intake and exhaust, which one blows air outside and which one blows air inside? ( I have a window fan)
 
Solution
Intake takes in air and exhaust take its out as it were. Intake fans should be drawing in cool air to keep the system at a low temperature and exhausts fans should be removing the warm air and dispose of it into the room around you. Hope this helps :)

Hi Ashley!
The fan should have a cross going from one corner to the other on one of the sides, this side is where the air is blown out.
That's pretty much all you need to know,
Hope this helps! :)

Depending on the case exhaust fans can also be installed at the bottom as well :)
