Cooling Fan

FridayParts Cooling Fan

Cooling fan is a general term, but in off-road machinery, it's often used interchangeably with radiator fan. So if your mechanic says there's an issue with the cooling fan, they're likely referring to the one mounted near the radiator—also known as the radiator fan. It cools the coolant flowing through the radiator pipe to maintain the optimal engine temperature and normal operation of the system. If the engine is overheating, you can consider checking the cooling fan. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement of the fan can ensure optimal performance and extend the service life. If you are looking for a specific fan model, you can check out the FridayParts cooling fan catalog or search the box for a quick search.

FAQs of Cooling Fan

Where is the cooling fan located?

It is located between the engine and the radiator.

What does the cooling fan do?

When off-road machinery such as excavators is stationary or slow, the heat generated by the engine cannot be effectively dissipated through natural airflow. At this time, the cooling fan can actively push air through the radiator, enhance the heat dissipation effect, and prevent the engine from overheating.

Are cooling fans the same as radiator fans?

In the off-road equipment industry, they are considered the same. A cooling fan refers to the fan system that assists the radiator in cooling down. So, although there are different names, they all refer to the same system. When you go for repairs, the mechanic may refer to it as a "radiator cooling fan" — it's just another common name for the same part.
