When does the engine radiator fan start running?
1 Answers
The engine radiator fan starts running when the coolant temperature reaches approximately 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. The fan is installed behind the radiator and draws air from the front of the radiator when activated. The fan automatically turns on or off based on the coolant temperature, with the following operational requirements: 1. The fan motor draws high current during operation, requiring higher-grade wiring; 2. The fan rotates at high speed during operation, demanding advanced manufacturing processes. Engine radiator fans can be classified into: 1. Axial flow fan: Blades push air to flow in the same direction as the shaft; 2. Centrifugal fan: Blades push air to flow perpendicular to the shaft; 3. Mixed flow fan: Air intake follows the axial direction while exhaust follows a diagonal direction between axial and perpendicular axes; 4. Cross-flow fan: Generates large-area airflow with both intake and exhaust perpendicular to the axis.
