Cadillac Radiator Fan Clutch |
In engine operation, constant burning of fuel is necessary so to produce mechanical energy that would power up the machine. But the combustion process results only to 30 percent of mechanical energy converted. The rest is transformed into heat that just needs to get dissipated. The engine cooling system takes care of this job. This system is comprised of bypass hose, engine block, expansion tank, fan clutch, fan pulley, fan, heater core, heater return hose, heater supply hose, heater or AC blower motor, hose clamp, radiator, radiator cap, thermostat housing, radiator hose and water pump.
The fan clutch is one of the most functional parts of the cooling system. It possesses a small fluid coupling that works with a thermostatic device in controlling a variable-speed fan. Its responsibility is to ensure right speed of fan rotation in keeping the engine from overheating. When the engine’s temperature level is low, the fan clutch reduces the drive of the fan. And when heat is climbing, it fully engages to make the fan spin faster.
When your Cadillac is running on high speeds, the grille in front of its radiator is able to direct more air through the radiator, which blows cold temperature to the heated coolant. When does the fan clutch work then? In conditions where the engine is almost idle or is already idling, no cold air can get in. Now it’s the turn of the fan which you see between the engine and radiator to work. If the temperature rises, a bimetal coil or flat spring that acts as thermostatic device is alerted, in order to set the fan clutch in operation and make the fan rotate. Nonetheless, fan clutch still operates even when the temperature is cool or in normal level. Only that it is partially disengaged. That way, the engine wouldn’t have to lose energy in pulling the fan belt through the engine crankshaft, saving then engine power and at the same time reducing noise.
Problems with fan clutch can be prevented from coming, but it is never avoidable. If in time, your Cadillac fan clutch doesn’t work well anymore, make sure to get a replacement that can provide better performance.
