How Long Does a Car Cooling Fan Generally Last?

[MacWyatt]

Of course, this is a theoretical value. Higher rotational speeds lead to greater wear and tear, which affects lifespan. Generally, the original boxed fan can last about 5 years without issues. Below is relevant information about car cooling fans: 1. Axial Fan: The blades of an axial fan push air in the same direction as the axis. The impeller of an axial fan is somewhat similar to a propeller, and during operation, the majority of the airflow moves parallel to the axis—in other words, along the axial direction. The power consumption of an axial fan is lowest when the inlet airflow is free air at 0 static pressure, but it increases as the back pressure of the airflow rises during operation. 2. Centrifugal Fan: When a centrifugal fan operates, its blades push air in a direction perpendicular to the axis (i.e., radially). The intake is along the axial direction, while the exhaust is perpendicular to the axis. In most cases, an axial fan is sufficient for cooling purposes. However, if the airflow needs to be rotated 90 degrees for exhaust or if higher air pressure is required, a centrifugal fan must be selected. Strictly speaking, blowers also fall under the category of centrifugal fans.
