Radiator Fan
As the engine burns the air and fuel
mixture, it produces much heat causing its parts to get so hot. To
avoid damage to the engine system, the cooling system removes extra
heat from the engine, allowing it to work at the most efficient
temperature. The cooling system is composed of various parts including
the radiator. Here the coolant that absorbed the heat from the engine
is cooled as it transfers it heats to the air that goes around the
tubes in the radiator.
Just like other major components in the
car, the radiator cannot work on its own. It has supporting parts that
help it perform its function more efficiently. In order for the
radiator to cool the water and coolant mixture that went through the
engine, it needs air that would absorb the heat. Air passes through the
grille; however, it is not enough to cool the hot water and coolant
mixture. A radiator fan is used to draw the air towards the radiator
and help in the cooling process.
The radiator fan has four or more blades that spin rapidly to provide
sufficient air that would cool the engine. It is usually mounted
between the radiator and the engine so that the air can easily get to
the radiator. Some cars have an additional fan in front of the radiator
in order to draw more cool air into the engine. Especially when it is
so hot and the vehicle isn’t moving fast enough, very little cool air
reaches the radiator, and thus, the engine is not cooled properly.
High performance radiator fan may be used to replace your radiator fan
for more efficient cooling. They allow more air to move around the
radiator and they need less horsepower to operate too, making them
ideal for your radiator fan replacement.
