What is the working principle of an automotive cooling fan?
1 Answers
The working principle of an automotive cooling fan is based on electromagnetic induction, using a Hall effect sensor as a synchronous detection device to control a set of circuits that switch the energizing sequence of the windings, thereby generating a rotating magnetic field and achieving electronic commutation in this new type of mechatronic fan. Here is additional information: The cooling fan is installed between the engine and the radiator. When the fan blades rotate driven by the engine, they generate high-speed airflow that carries away the heat from the coolant in the radiator, thus achieving the purpose of cooling the engine. There are three main reasons why a cooling fan may not rotate: 1. The coolant temperature has not reached the required level; 2. A relay malfunction; 3. Issues with the temperature control switch.
