The car radiator fan consists of a hub with a pulley, to which the blades are attached. The fan blades are made of sheet steel or plastic. The fan drive has automatic on and off and is carried out by:
Car Radiator Fan Components:
- gears;
- V-belt transmission;
- electromagnetic clutch;
- hydrodynamic coupling;
- autonomous electric drive;
- viscous coupling;
- friction clutch.
Where is the radiator fan located
The fan is installed directly behind the radiator. To improve the efficiency of the fan, it is sometimes stirred in a guide casing mounted on a radiator. Ha drive a fan takes 3-5% of engine power. A fan increases engine noise. Therefore, they strive to ensure efficient operation of the cooling system with minimal energy costs.
