Electric Radiator fans for MCI

[luvrbus]

Prevost's are using electric fans now also,there was one dead in the water in Needles that the designated alternator for the fans failed ,I bypassed the alternator and tied into the main starting system and he made it to Prevost in Ca.Before you run out buy electric fans those are not the 80w fans you buy from the local parts store they are high amps for power

I saw a new Prevost at the bus bash at Hershey, Pa. It had wall to wall fans on the radiator and three alternators.

Lots of Nova transits with entire radiator/air to air covered in these electric fans now.

Where's 2 dogs?

Maybe the OEM have redeemed him?

Happy coaching!

Big difference between a transit running electric fans and an over the road bus. The only way I'd run electric is like Geoff on an auxiliary radiator. Good Luck, TomC

Those fans work and put 50 hp to work for other purposes increases fuel mileage to,plus now the $3000.00 Lining fan clutch is gone. They are neat they only come on 1 at a time as needed but they are high amp fans for power technology is here TomC even construction equipment are using electric fans,5 of those will move more CFM of air than a engine driven blade will so they say

Yup. Two Dogs is probably sitting on a mountain of cash in Figi, Tahiti, laid back with island girls on his 134' yacht drinking drinks with little umbrellas. for all of his innovative designs and patents

As I remember he insisted electric fans on radiators would work.  He was ahead of time, although he failed to install the fans after someone on the board sent him some free ones.
