Pusher Or Puller Radiator Fan

Many flex a lite electric fans can be reversed so they can be used as either a pusher fan an auxiliary fan mounted to the front of the radiator or a puller fan primary cooling fan mounted behind the radiator.

Pusher or puller radiator fan.

The puller fan is installed in the backside of the engine and will pull air through the radiator core. The process of reversing them is easy and straight forward. First which is better. With the smaller footprint radiator and no room for a fan shroud he opted to use the mechanical fan as a puller and then added an electrical pusher fan on the front of the radiator to supplement.

Independent tests have shown that even with a pusher style fan mounted only 5 8 of an inch away from the face of the radiator there is still a vast amount of air that escapes from around the skirt between the radiator and the fan blades. Pusher style fans mount on the front of the radiator and blow air through the radiator core. Lift the blade off the shaft you may have to wiggle it side to side while lifting turn the blade over and insert it. We hope to help you decide what kind of setup is right for you and to show the benefits of each.

This will makes the engine remain cool all the time. We continue our guides that show differences in radiator performance depending on the speed of the fans thickness and fpi of radiators etc. Puller style fans are recommended for applications in which the electric fan is the primary cooling source. In addition to that the installation kits will make mounting trouble free and you can install the electric fan to any vehicle.

Puller style fans mount behind the radiator and draw air through the core. A pusher style fan can be used as an auxiliary cooling source but you. Today we address the subject of push pull push pull fan setups and how they affect different radiators and performance.
