The radiator operates on the condition that a flow of air touches its radiant mass, subtracting heat from the liquid that passes through it. With the car in motion then the speed of the air that invests it, allows the radiator to carry out its work at best without any problem. If the car such as ford transit diesel for sale is moving at very low speeds (typical patterns of urban routes) or we are even stuck in traffic, then the air will no longer be sufficient to fulfill its function.
A Dedicated Control Unit
Precisely for this reason, it was thought to generate a flow of forced and no longer natural air by means of a fan to be mounted inside a conveyor and in correspondence with the radiator. Besides, the fan assembly can be of the suction or pressing type depending on the direction of the flow of air generated with respect to the radiator and can be composed of one or two fans of equal size or of different diameters. The fans are generally motorized and electrically controlled by a dedicated control unit which decides how many and which fan to operate based on the temperature of the coolant. In turn, each fan has different rotation speeds.
Efficient Fans
The fans are switched on and managed only when the temperature rises and the car fails while opening the thermostat to lower it. On the road and at high speeds they do not turn because, as already mentioned above, the natural airflow is such as to sufficiently subtract the necessary heat from the radiator fluid leaving the engine. Obviously, the same fans are also used to remove heat from other radiators mounted together with that of the engine, such as the climate condenser, automatic transmission oil cooler, etc., but everything is still controlled by the electronic control unit.
For Details
In the simplest and most dated engines, the fans can be dragged by a special belt or in some off-road vehicles such as Freelander, Terrano, etc. or old BMW variants by a viscous joint, that is a joint containing oil. Here, it should be noted that electric fans, as long-lived as they are, are not eternal: the electric motor can burn out and cannot be repaired, so the entire fan must be replaced. Even the viscous joint has its life and sooner or later you will have to deal with its replacement. The above discussion could be technical but actually not; however, if you are a novice and want to know about the discussed notions; so, you should consult with an expert. But, be watchful before pay the ford transit diesel price otherwise you have to bear the extra cost to cater the discussed issue after the buy. Please note, if you deal with used car exporter for that issue, if you are interested to buy the used vehicle, these dealers provide detailed info, if you show curiosity.
