Hey guys, Here's the spec sheet for the electric fan I just set up. Can't remember where I got the fan from... One day it was just there haha. http://www.spal-usa.com/fans/automated/tech_sheets/2048-2049.pdf Running blind without a thermostat for a bit, but think this will do without worries? I have it mounted to the rad pulling air through it. The Taurus fans that everyone on here uses pull/push about double the cfms - which is what made me wonder Thanks! -PM
Cool Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for one and just use what I have for now then. That seems like quite a bit more cfms than mine
Or you can find a 90s Volvo. The fan housing is detachable and you can make your own custom shroud. It uses the same motor as the Taurus fan.
fan related...saw this note at the bottom of a fan description...beware... Spal Electric Fans 30102113 2500 CFM Notes:This fan is designed for use in paved oval stock car racing. The fan motor is not sealed and should not be used in the following conditions. 1. High dust, dirt, and/or wet environments. 2. Unusually high ambient temperatures (exceeding 176 degrees F). 3. extended/continuous modes of operation exceeding one hour in duration. Standard warranty conditions do not apply to this fan. ...wonder how many people have bought this fan for a street car?
Use a thermostatic switch and it should be fine. But if you set it for say 190 and it never goes off its not cooling it well.
The trouble with fan cfm specs is none of the fan manufacturers agree on how to measure. They all have their own methods and you can't always accurately compare one to another. I only know that my Taurus fan sounds like a friggin hurricane when it turns on...
