A fan assembly is a key component of a vehicle’s cooling system. It includes the cooling fan, motor, shroud, and mounting frame, all working together to maintain the engine’s optimal operating temperature. The fan assembly pulls air through the radiator to dissipate heat from the engine coolant, especially when the vehicle is stationary or moving at low speeds.
Key Features:
Includes fan blades, electric motor, and protective shroud.
Designed for efficient airflow and maximum cooling performance.
Often controlled by the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU) or a temperature switch.
Function:
Cools down the engine coolant passing through the radiator.
Prevents engine overheating by maintaining consistent airflow.
Maintenance Tip:
Regularly check the fan assembly for cracks, worn-out blades, or a failing motor to ensure reliable cooling and prevent engine overheating.
