Cooling issue on highway

How not to install a fan:

Will not pull any heat out of the corners of the radiator. Although the rest of the car is done up nice.

This radiator will not pass the paper test in the corners, no air flow in the corners reguardless of the CFM they had in mind.

Electricity is not free power, it takes horsepower to turn the extra load on the alternator to spin the fan.

Just as the electric car crowd think electricity is free to charge their cars. Electricity has to come from somewhere, they burn coal to make electricity in the first place. Not to mention the resources it takes to mine the coal and transport it to market.

That's better than having the corners sealed with a flat shroud though. As long as the fan can move enough air through that 75% or so of fin surface area it'll work fine and driving down the road at speed the air will be able to freely flow through the entire rad, not that I'd recommend it. Having the typical flat shroud that only sticks back 1/2" off the radiator will perform the worst of anything.

Also yes the electrical power has to come from somewhere but it still uses less power overall because it's not running constantly, only turns on when needed.

BTW coal power is gradually going away and doesn't account for a whole lot of the U.S.'s electricity generation compared to natural gas, and adding up the small but growing amount of wind, solar and nuclear power.

Aaanyway so about those 6.4L Hemi cooling issues......
