  • Generator radiator fan

    Posted by Greg on July 17, 2019 at 5:55 pm

    My generator radiators is on the roof, it has two fans mounted under it. Which direction would provide the best cooling. Pushing air up from the bottom through the radiator or pulling air down through the radiator.

    Does it matter?

    My fans were on top and pulled the air up. Heat wants to rise, so that is how I would do it. Mine was a 2008. Ask Roger Foster how it is working, he has that coach now.

    Are your fans pulling the air up or pushing the air down over the radiator ?

    I have no knowledge of roof mounted generator radiators, but my impression is the air flow has to be pulled in from the bottom and exhausted up.

    If you push from the top down you end up transferring some of the heat onto the roof of the coach and I cannot see that as a good thing, except in Minnesota in the winter.

    Fans are located on top of the radiator and exhaust up up and away. No heat blowing on the roof as Jon said that would not be good.
