INCREASED ENGINE COOLING - Electric fans offer maximum performance at engine idle (when you need it most). Engine-driven fans are at their lowest rpm at idle.
INCREASED HORSE POWER - Removing an engine-driven fan can increase horsepower as the engine drag from turning the fan is lessened.
INCREASED MPG - Removing an engine-driven fan can increase gas mileage as well, as the engine drag from turning the fan is lessened.
INCREASED A/C COOLING AT IDLE - Have you ever had your A/C blow warmer at a stop light? With the compressor turning slower at idle, increased airflow across the A/C condenser can help with colder A/C at idle.
WHY BUY A MARADYNE HIGH PERFORMANCE FAN?
CONCENTRIC RINGS - MARADYNE® fans have rings that prevent the blades from flexing as they achieve maximum rpm. These rings keep the blades properly pitched for maximum airflow.
SEALED MOTORS - On Champion Series, Jetstreme and Mach One Series fans, the sealed motors are dust and waterproof to IP68 making them excellent for off-road applications where sand, dust or water can enter the engine compartment.
DYNAMICALLY BALANCED - All MARADYNE® fans are dynamically balanced at the factory with balancing clips just as you balance a tire to a wheel. This provides for smooth running, less noise and longer life for the motor.
NATIONWIDE AND CUP SERIES PROVEN - Their flagship fan, the 16" Champion Series M162K, is not only their most popular fan, it is the same fan they sponsor several Nationwide and Cup Series teams with. These teams value the fans as much for its ability to survive high speeds as for its performance. If it can cool an 800 hp 358 c.i. engine, it will likely cool your favorite ride. Most of their competition can not make this claim.
HOW TO CHOOSE AN ELECTRIC COOLING FAN?
FIRST: Start with measuring the core size of the radiator, just the core do not include the measurements of the cooling tanks on each side or top and bottom of the radiator. This will give you an idea of what diameter fan can be used or what shrouded version fans can be used. (Note: fans must cover as much of the radiator as possible. Fabricating or purchasing a shroud may be necessary).
SECOND: Consider all aspects of the engine, if you are dealing with a stock to mildly upgraded engine you do not need a fan with a high wattage motor or highest rated cfm but if you are dealing with a mid to highly upgraded engine you will want to consider the fans that have a higher wattage motor with maximum cfm of air movement. Fan motor wattage can range from 130w to 225w in the 12v configuration. If your application is mild now but plan to upgrade it there is nothing wrong with using the higher cfm rated fans as the fan is controlled by the temperature sending unit.
PUSH vs. PULL: If you are working with space issues keep in mind certain model fans can be reversible so they can either pull the air or push the air through the radiator. For example, in the majority of automotive applications fans are set up in the puller configuration to pull the air through the radiator from the grill opening area; however due to space issues & air flow characteristics, the need to mount the fan in the pusher configuration to push the air from the grill area through the radiator may be necessary.
WATTAGE: Note the more powerful cfm fan or fans you may choose the more amp draw it will have so make sure your electrical system can handle the addition of an electric fan. Amp draws on 12 to 16 inch fans can range from 15 to 28 amps, some dual fan applications can draw up to 35 amps.
