Kenlowe elcetric fans

Both. You cannot blow it out without sucking it in. Try breathing
out for ten minutes without breathing in...

A jet sucks air in the front and then it blows air out the back adding
the energy from the fuel. In doing so, one of Newtons laws (the
second I think) dictates that an equal and opposite force pushes the
engine forward.

I think that's slightly different. "Try running a country for 7 years
without listening to anyone".

I'd like to see most of them not breathe in for 10 minutes...

To gaffa their mouths wouldn't help. I believe they talk from
somewhere slightly lower down the body.

rather silly, but the punchline will explain it.

Think the best place to fit is behind the radiator.That is, if you've enough
space to fit.
When you mount it in front of the rad, it will obstruct the flow during
driving.
Most cars have the el. fan fitted behind the rad,only in problem (space)
cases,they're fitted in front.

Good luck

I was thinking further about this ..

I think (I don't know) the difference in cooling by having the
(passive) fan mech (motor body / blades) in front rather than behind
the rad is minimal. The thought is that the air has to 'flow' through
the radiator for it work and an object placed close in front *or
behind* will restrict that flow?

A fan pushing from the front or pulling from the back will (assuming
the efficiencies of the fan design are equal) move similar amounts of
air and therefore have the same (as far as a real vehicle is
concerned) cooling effect?

One advantage of having the fan behind the rad is that it might not
suffer quite as much from the muck / rain etc (the rad acting as a
filter) whereas *behind* I believe the fan motor is going to run
hotter as it's not in the cold airflow itself?

Ducting will improve matters (in both cases) but will restrict the non
forced flow of air when the fan isn't running (all be it only
slightly)?

I suppose if it's fitted in front you could have both mechanical
(behind) AND electric assisted cooling? ;-)

I was considering doing this when I take the 2L pinto out of the
Sierra and fit it in the Ranger (kit car). The Sierra has had the
viscous coupled fan in there for 22 years and the thing has never
showed an over temprature condition in all that time (in spite of
towing some pretty heavy stuff on some hot days etc).

When I have experimented with the viscose fan there is no drag
whatsoever when the system is cold, but drive is progressivly provided
to the fan very efficiently when hot air is allowed through the rad
onto it? Why don't folk seem to like them?

Just me thinking out loud .. ;-)

All the best ..

'cos they don't all work like that... some spin too much, some not enough.
