Engine cooling fans

Cooling fans play a crucial role in maintaining optimum engine operating temperature. They are responsible for circulating air through the radiator of the cooling system and help remove excess heat from the engine, preventing it from overheating.

here are two main types of engine cooling fans - mechanical and electric. Mechanical fans are driven by a belt connected to the engine crankshaft through a viscous clutch, activated when a certain gel temperature is reached inside the clutch. Electric ones operate from the car's electrical system and are activated when a certain coolant temperature is reached.

The blades and housing are important in the construction of fans, which are made of plastic or metal. The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the vehicle. STRON engine cooling fans are made of react plastic, a heat-resistant material resistant to mechanical loads and high temperatures.

The shape of the blades and the angle of inclination determines the cooling efficiency. When the cooling fan is connected correctly, the direction of air flow is always towards the engine. In some fans, the speed of the blades can be varied depending on the coolant temperature. Control is achieved by means of cam clutches (viscous clutches) for mechanical fans or integrated speed controllers for electric models.

Some engine cooling fans can create noise and vibrations during operation. Manufacturers try to reduce this effect by using special designs and materials. STRON fans have perfect balancing of the impeller with the blades, which minimizes noise and vibrations from operation.

STRON warns: if the fan makes a whistling noise and its speed changes from minimum to maximum and vice versa, the cause of the problem may be the failure of the fan motor.

Engine cooling fans must be resistant to the high temperatures and stresses that can occur during engine operation. STRON manufactures its engine cooling fans from quality react plastics, and the life of STRON fans is extended by using the best electric motors and bearings in them.

If you decide to install the engine cooling fan yourself, follow the steps below:

1. Prepare for installation: make sure the vehicle is turned off and the engine is cool. Prepare the necessary tools, safety glasses and gloves.

2. Determine the location of the fan, fasteners and electrical connections. The fan may be located in front of or behind the radiator, depending on the vehicle design.

3. Remove the old cooling fan. To do this, first disconnect the negative battery cable for safety. Then the electrical connectors connecting the old fan to the vehicle. Loosen and remove the mounting bolts or clips holding the fan in place. Carefully remove the old engine cooling fan.

4. Install the new fan in place of the old fan, following the reverse order of removal. Tighten the mounting bolts or clamps to secure the fan in place. Reconnect the electrical connectors and ensure that the fan rod is properly inserted into the appropriate hole and the fasteners are secure.

5. Check the system operation: connect the negative battery cable and check the operation of the engine cooling fan. Start the vehicle and run it for a few minutes to make sure the new fan is functioning properly and generating sufficient airflow.

Installation of STRON cooling fans is an easy installation without any differences from the original and an unconditional warranty of 3 years. Correct installation of the fan guarantees its efficient operation and prevents possible problems in the cooling system of your vehicle.

The main purpose of the engine cooling fan is to provide adequate cooling by blowing out the radiator and removing excess heat. The structure of the fan may vary by vehicle make and model, but there are a number of common characteristics.

The engine cooling fan can be electric or mechanical. An electric fan is equipped with a motor and is activated when the coolant reaches a certain temperature, while a mechanical fan is activated when the engine reaches a certain temperature, the gel inside the visco clutch thickens and the fan starts to rotate.

The fan's rotating shaft has blades that create an air flow that is directed to the cooling radiator. The blades can be plastic or metal and can have different shapes and angles.

The fan and blades are protected by the casing. The casing has holes or grilles to take in air from the environment - it directs the airflow to the radiator and regulates the cooling. Some engine cooling fans have the ability to adjust the speed of the blades. This allows the cooling to be adapted to the operating conditions of the engine and the outside air temperature.

The mechanical fan can be fitted with a clutch. This allows the fan to switch between free rotation and full locking on the shaft, depending on the radiator temperature. In the case of an electric fan, a speed controller can be integrated to control the fan rotation depending on the engine temperature.

The engine cooling fan is an essential part for long and reliable engine operation. All STRON fans are manufactured from high quality react plastics and the cooling fan impellers are made from react plastics - a thermo-active material that does not change shape when exposed to high temperatures.

STRON engine cooling fans are manufactured using the latest equipment and standardized manufacturing processes according to ISO/TS 16949. All products are tested at the factory as they leave the assembly line, allowing STRON to be absolutely certain of the quality of its product.

STRON knows its product, which is why all products carry an unconditional warranty of 3 years or 80 thousand kilometers. There is also a guarantee of conformity of use, dimensions and fasteners.

In the event of a claim, STRON will handle the claim - the company will provide the end customer with a replacement and reimburse the cost of reinstallation.
