    Do Dual Fans Increase Radiator Efficiency More Than a Single Larger Fan?

    I've run different cars/trucks with single and dual eFans, and many factory setups run both singles and duals. On my own 1969 Camaro right now, I run a single 19" brushless fan that is controlled by a custom PWM controller that's triggered by temperature near the exit point of the radiator...

    Do Dual Fans Increase Radiator Efficiency More Than a Single Larger Fan?

    That was interesting reading and I've seen similar thoughts over in the PC Overclocker's groups over the years when trying to figure out how to cool the CPU. I have an old Shuttle PC laying around with a sort of radiator + fan as a cooling solution. One post in that thread did get my attention...

    Do Dual Fans Increase Radiator Efficiency More Than a Single Larger Fan?

    A while back, you guys helped me out with a project on my '69 Camaro. It was all about the Bernoulli principle and airflow taking the path of least resistance. I'm happy to say that the lower closeout panel I built (see pix below) seems to have done the trick as the car I no longer having any...

    B Does the Bernouli Effect Work On Cars?

    Jack... Excellent response! And yes, GM engineers tried various things to limit air "spillage" with the hope that it would improve cooling efficiency and performance. On the 69 Camaros with big blocks and air conditioning they installed a rubber seal at the core support that sealed off the core...

    B Does the Bernouli Effect Work On Cars?

    Arjan... Thank you so much for the comments and explanation. And yes, you are correct, all radiators have either a mechanical or electric fan usually pulling air through the condenser & radiator. Most older cars had mechanical belt driven fans, some had "clutch" fans that disengaged if a coil in...

    B Does the Bernouli Effect Work On Cars?

    Hi Geniuses... I joined this group because I have a question I can't answer myself. This is about cars. We're all familiar with classic cars having a grill up front and a space right after it, and then usually a radiator to cool the water/coolant in the engine. The discussion we're having in a...
