A cooling fan is a vital component in a car cooling system that helps to take away all the heat absorbed from the engine using coolant, all its work is done through the radiator by punishing or pulling air through the radiator. A radiator cooling fan is a location in front of a car and it is electrically powered, well, depending on the vehicle’s design.
Thus this cooling fan is activated by two means which can either be the thermostat or an electric system. This thermostat which is located between the engine and the radiator helps to control the working temperature of the engine. The electronic system will sense when the coolant in the engine is extremely hot and then power the fan through an electrical relay switch.
The function of Radiator or Cooling Fans
- The primary function of cooling fans is to take away excessive heat absorbed from the engine. The coolant will absorb the heat and goes into the radiator where the heat is blown away. Thus this function will work when the engine is stationary, where air can’t move through the grille. This cooling fan helps to contain external airflow when moving too slowly. Thus electric cooling fans control the temperature of the vehicle as it turns on and off based on the engine temperature.
Component of cooling fans
- The electrical cooling fan is a standalone device with various parts which include a cooling fan shroud, motor, and cooling fan or fan. The cooling fan shroud serves the carriage because the other parts are mounted to it and it is placed directed to the radiator.
Types of the cooling fan
- Axial fan
- Diagonal fan
- Centrifugal fan
- Tangential fan
