How many fans does a car have?

Generally, a car has two cooling fans. Here are the specific details about car cooling fans: 1. Automatic activation conditions: When the coolant temperature reaches 98°C, the radiator fan will automatically turn on. The car radiator fan activates automatically and cannot be manually controlled. It does not start at low temperatures, and operates at two different speed levels for medium and high temperatures. 2. Medium and high-speed cooling fans: Typically, the medium speed activates automatically at 95°C, and the high speed activates at 105°C. When the coolant temperature reaches 95°C, the fan starts and operates at 1600 RPM. When the temperature reaches 105°C, the fan speed increases to approximately 2400 RPM to enhance cooling efficiency.
The number of car fans depends on the model. Ordinary sedans are usually equipped with one cooling fan, located in front of the radiator to cool the engine. The air conditioning system may share this fan or have an additional one. From my own observations, many cars are designed with one fan for space efficiency, but some large SUVs or performance cars may be equipped with two or even more fans, such as separate cooling and air conditioning fans. Fan failure can lead to increased water temperature, affecting driving safety. Regularly paying attention to the sound of the fan and keeping the radiator clean can help prevent problems in advance.
