Re: Electric fan setup?
i saw an emergency room show a few years ago and the guy came in mostly decapitated from a flex fan, but still alive somehow. didnt live long though. i dont like them, because they are always "on"
I use the cheap ebay fans when I need one, the s curve fan is the same as a flex a lite curved blade fan, I had one in a box to compare. I worked in china in engineering retail products, when they finish "your" run of parts, they do a run of "theirs" which is the same part without the branding. not always, sometimes cheap is cheap, but the s curve fans I have used are still kicking and working great.
remember amperage not just to compare output but also on what you have available. a high speed fan can be 30-40A of current, whats your alternator size? 90A is common. also wiring, 30A is 12ga stranded min, no matter if the fan has 16-14ga on it. you will need a relay for the thermo switch.
that setup norcalgal shows is a real honey, its worth it to buy the better controller and brushless fan. I have spent up on the variable speed controller in the past because it has infinite speeds.
