Does the engine fan blow towards the radiator or the engine?

Engine fans blow towards the engine. For front-mounted engines, the cooling fan directs airflow towards the engine, while for rear-mounted engines, it blows towards the radiator. Most passenger cars and trucks have front-mounted engines with fans blowing towards the engine. However, some engineering vehicles like loaders have engine fans that blow towards the radiator. The engine radiator, also known as the engine coolant tank, is a key component of the water-cooled engine cooling system. It ensures proper operation of the cooling system by forcing water circulation to cool the engine, acting as a heat exchange device that maintains the engine within the normal temperature range. Working principle of the engine radiator: The radiator operates by dissipating heat energy from the coolant. To maintain proper engine temperature, a water pump driven by the engine forces coolant to circulate through various engine components. The radiator is the device that absorbs heat generated by the engine and dissipates it into the air.
