The fan plays an important, supportive role for the effective operation of the engine cooling and climate systems of the vehicle. In the climate system, the AC fan forces air through the condenser, whilst in the engine cooling system, the fan forces air through the exchangers, such as the radiator and/or intercooler. The EC fan keeps the engine’s coolant from rising above operational temperature, thereby preventing the system from overheating. Its role is especially important at low engine revs and low speeds in slow-moving traffic. Cooling produced by the fan is crucial for proper condenser operation. A nonperforming AC fan has a very negative impact on the condensation process inside the condenser thus the entire AC system performance. A malfunctioning EC fan will have a negative impact on the engine cooling performance, which will cause excessive thermal stress on the engine. As an electrical device, the fan is often exposed to failure due to problems with the vehicle’s electrical system, e. Overvoltage, bad fuse, nonperforming alternator and thermostatic switch failure. Depending on the vehicle application, the AC / EC fan can be engaged by means of: thermostatic switch, pressure switch, indirect connection to the compressor clutch, the vehicle’s Electronic Control Module (ECM) or signals sent from the AC-ON button.

What is a radiator fan and what does it do? A radiator fan helps cool the engine by pulling air through the radiator to reduce the temperature of the coolant circulating through the engine. It plays a vital role in preventing engine overheating. What are the types of radiator fans? There are two main types. Mechanical Fans : Driven by the engine’s crankshaft, usually found in older vehicles. Electric Fans : Operated by an electric motor, common in modern vehicles, and controlled by the engine’s thermostat. What are the signs of a failing radiator fan? Engine overheating, especially in traffic or while idling. The fan not turning on when the engine gets hot. Whirring or clicking noises from the fan. Reduced air conditioning performance. Can I drive with a faulty radiator fan? While it may be possible, it’s risky as the engine can overheat, especially in stop-and-go traffic or during hot weather. Continuous driving with a faulty fan can cause severe engine damage. How much does it cost to replace a radiator fan? What causes a radiator fan to stop working? Blown fuse or relay. Malfunctioning temperature sensor or thermostat. Wiring issues or loose connections. Can I replace the radiator fan myself? If you have mechanical skills and the right tools, you can replace the fan yourself. However, it often involves dealing with electrical components and confined spaces, so professional help is recommended. What happens if the radiator fan is running constantly? A radiator fan running continuously might indicate a problem with the temperature sensor, fan relay, or a stuck thermostat. It can lead to excessive wear on the fan motor. How does the radiator fan affect air conditioning? The radiator fan helps cool the condenser in the AC system. If the fan isn’t working properly, the AC may struggle to cool the air effectively, especially when the vehicle is stationary. When should a radiator fan be replaced? A radiator fan should be replaced if it is no longer functioning correctly, if it’s making unusual noises, or if it has become damaged or worn out over time.
