Which way should radiator fan face?
The fan should blow air toward the engine (i.e., same direction as the air flow when the vehicle is in motion).
How to improve airflow through radiator?
The front opening, air intake is one key aspect to its performance. Ideally, the radiator needs to be squared up to the air. Scoops, lips, deflectors and recessed panels can be used to improve air flow when the frontal area of a vehicle is less than ideal.
How to improve car radiator efficiency?
Coolant temperatures can be reduced by upgrading radiators in three ways, by increasing the frontal area of the radiators, by making the radiators thicker, or by using materials with better heat transfer properties for the cores.
What is a radiator do?
A radiator helps to eliminate excess heat from the engine. It is part of the engine’s cooling system, which also includes a liquid coolant, hoses to circulate the coolant, a fan, and a thermostat that monitors the coolant temperature.
Where is the blower fan in the engine compartment?
The switches between the seat control a round black relay in the engine compartment. Activating the relay turns on the heater fan. You might want to swap out the relay. You can also test the switches at the relay. Unplug the heater blower and have someone pull the red levers up.
Which is the exhaust side of a fan?
The Rear or Exhaust side (the side that the air comes out of) of our fans will always be the side that houses the fan motor. You will also be able to identify the Exhaust side as you will see power wires entering the fan motor. (the side with the guard/motor support)
Which is the correct direction for the radiator fan to blow?
If the radiator is mounted on the side of the vehicle, the fan should pull air in. The reasoning is that pulling outside air inwards will mean that cooler air will flow through the fins on the radiator instead of pushing hot air from around the hot engine through the radiator.
How to determine the airflow direction of your case fans?
The Rear or Exhaust side (the side that the air comes out of) of our fans will always be the side that houses the fan motor. You will also be able to identify the Exhaust side as you will see power wires entering the fan motor. Lastly, the fan airflow can be identified by the arrow markings on the fan housing. Still need help?
Where is the exhaust fan in a car?
On the drivers side interior fender is an exhaust fan that comes on to help cool the engine compartment. When the guys pulled the engine bay apart, they did not mark the temperature relay that runs the fan. I have a Chiltons book, but the wiring diagrams do not incorporate the fan wiring.
Which is the right side of the engine?
If you were (theoretically) standing at the REAR of the engine, it would reveal: the opposite/opposing/far-side of the engine as being the FRONT, your right side Is The Right Side Of The Engine (also Bank 1), and your left side Is The Left Side Of The Engine (also Bank 2). It’s real simple, Jeff.
Why is a carb cooling fan in the engine compartment?
The “carb cooling fan”name just stuck from FJ60s. I guess it won’t hurt to keep it in to cool down the engine compartment more. You could convert that fan into blowing out so it helps lower the pressure under the hood and helps with radiator cooling.
How do I Turn on the fan when the engine is off?
Orange : Connect to ignition switch +12 vdc when engine is in run position. (Hook to constant +12 vdc for the fan to run continuously when the engine is hot even when the ignition switch is off). Black : Connect ring terminal to chassis ground.
