Acura Fan Blade |
Whenever a system in our Acura fails to deliver its function well, many of us would instantly check on its most important part and look for possible defects or damages. In the case of your Acura's engine cooling system, this part would have to be the radiator. Whenever the engine overheats, we would normally suspect a radiator problem. Most of the time, however, the actual problem does not lie on the radiator but on some other component. In fact, a simple damage on the Acura fan blade can cause the overheating problem.
But how can a fan blade, a minor engine cooling system part, cause such a major vehicle problem? Contrary to the opinion of many, the fan blades, along with the other components of the fan assembly, are very important components for the vehicle's engine cooling system. Though simple in appearance, the fan blades are the actual components that pull air through the radiator core into the engine compartment. Therefore, any damage in the Acura fan blades can greatly affect the cooling capability of the radiator and thus, affect the overall performance of the engine cooling system.
There are many types of fan blades, just as there are many types of automotive fans. Most of these blades, however, are made of metal. Stock fan blades used on mechanical fans are usually curled at the tips, allowing them to pull air more efficiently. Fan blades used on mechanical flex fans, on the other hand, are usually thinner and more flexible than ordinary fan blades. These flex fan blades are also curled at their tips, although they tend to straighten up at higher speeds to reduce fan action and save engine power.
A slight damage on a fan blade can already cause the automotive fan to function poorly. So much more if the damage is major. Among these damages are broken fan blades, bent fan blades and loose fan blades. In any of these cases, immediate replacement is often the best solution.
