Does the Fan Run at Idle Speed?
1 Answers
Generally, the car's fan starts running after about 10 minutes of idling. Below is an introduction to the fan's behavior during idling: 1. Rate of Water Temperature Rise: The operation of the fan at idle depends on the rate at which the water temperature rises. The time varies for different cars under different conditions, being slightly shorter in summer and longer in winter. When the car is moving, the time is also slightly shorter. 2. Older Cars with AC on at Idle Can Be Harmful: In older cars, the engine cooling fan is controlled by the engine crankshaft speed. At idle, the engine speed is low, resulting in a lower cooling fan speed. 3. Increase in Engine Temperature: As the engine temperature rises, the water temperature also increases, which can cause some degree of damage to the car engine.
