An automotive expert once said that the efficiency of the vehicle's engine cooling system can be credited partly to the coolant and the radiator and partly to the radiator fan. Without a coolant to absorb heat from the engine and without the radiator to dissipate such heat, the engine cooling system would not work well. But the engine cooling system wouldn't work either if the radiator fan is not functioning properly, for it is simply impossible to cool the radiator properly with a damaged automotive fan.
The radiator fan, also called the condenser fan or the automotive fan, is a rotating device whose primary function is to draw air through the radiator, aiding the radiator in its function of dissipating heat. Every vehicle has at least one fan, which is usually mounted behind the radiator. Aside from the primary fan, however, most vehicles are equipped with additional electric fans to aid in cooling the radiator as well as the A/C condenser and other engine and A/C components.
Automotive fans are made up of many different parts. These parts include the fan motor, fan belt, fan clutch, fan shrouds, and other smaller parts. Among the many parts of the fan, however, the actual components responsible for drawing in the air needed by the radiator are the fan blades. The fan blades refer to those parts of the fan projecting at an angle from the central hub. These blades are often curved like that of a propeller, allowing them to draw as much air through the radiator.
Different types, makes and models of vehicles have different automotive fan and fan blade configurations. There are vehicles equipped with four-bladed fans while there are also those that feature automotive fans with as much as eleven blades. The blades, however, are usually made from high-grade plastic.
Although they may look like worthless pieces of plastic, automotive fan blades are very important components for your vehicle's engine cooling system. For this reason, it is only proper to take good care of the fan blades. If cracks develop on the blade, you've got no other option but to replace them, unless you really want the engine to overheat. Luckily, there are online auto parts suppliers like Parts Train that can provide you with every auto part you need whenever you need them.
