Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to study the performance of car radiator fan such as flow rate. This project used experimental method to investigate the performance of this fan. This experiment used three types of fan. The fan was used are 850cc, 1300cc and 1800cc. The purpose used different fan is to get which fans that have better performance when the car running at static conditions such as traffic jam and to get which fans those give appropriate speed for new design in terms of blade profile. In the
experimental method, axial fan test rig was used to test the flow rate that could be produced by this fan. The fan will test at different speed by using DC power supply which can control the speed, voltage and current supply. From that the performance of
the fan could be determine by taking the current, voltage and the velocity of air flow can be taking from velocity meter. The result from the experimental method will be compared with theoretical method and get at which speed radiator fan give better performance.
