REFLECTOR: Bildge Fan

[Ruben Creus]

I was reading yesterday that centrifugal fans are designed to maintain
airflow even at high pressure. Any one has tried or has any input with a
centrifugal fan?

No my install would be different from yours but I tried a bilge fan on the
front oil cooler. It did not work very well,
not enough cfm  to really do the job. The blower in most cars has got to be
3-4 times more  cfm  a than a bilge fan for sure.
I got almost nothing out of my ducts using the Blower motor.

My 2 cents

Hi all, 

 

I know I ask this question every year, but I keep forgetting the answers
when it gets warm.

 

I am thinking on installing a bilge fan in front of the oil cooler and block
the external air to recycle cabin air and hopefully getting better heat in
the cabin. I remember from last year that someone talked about bilge fans
and its CFM.   so I wonder if any of you have any input on this. 

 

Again, I am sorry to ask again every winter but my brain must be too cold to
remember what was said last year.
