Electric radiator fan

[Johnno]

Hi all,just been searching for posts re electric radiator fan but cannot find very detailed information.Can anyone detail which fan from what car etc? I still have the sidevalve engine fitted with the large radiator.Its for’52 MM.
Thanks all,Johnno.

I fitted a Kenlowe fan behind the grill and in front of the rad as I found there wasn't a great deal of room behind it.
Don't think Kenlowe are around anymore but the one I have measures 10 inches diameter, quite a tight squeeze to fit, even had to grind a bit off the bonnet catch!
Does the job ok, doesn't run unless stuck in traffic/idling for a while.

Thanks Alan,I remember you had fitted an electric fan.Is it fitted to a temp sensor too?

[alanworland]

Yes temp sensor fitted in top hose and adjustable controller fitted with override switch fitted under dash with indicator light so I can see when it is on.
Although as it uses quite a bit of current you can see the deflection on ammeter!
Just make it out in my photo.

I have used Revotec fans and controllers in 62 saloon and 66 Traveller see link below for info.

you just need to check you use the correct fan for the side of rad it will be fitted.

Blowing - Generally placed in front of the radiator behind the bumper blowing air directly.
Suction - Generally placed behind the radiator, infront of the engine, sucking air away.

hope this helps
