Additional Condenser Fan OR Improvised Shroud

**blank check** · May 25th, 2005 11:12 AM

Suzuki Carry lang po sasakyan. condenser is horizontally mounted below the pickup bed. auxilliary fan is pulling up air from the condenser below it.

Tanong ko lang kung alin mas makakatulong para mas lumamig A/C.
1. additional fan underneath the condenser
2. or putting ang improvised shroud below the condenser
3. or none of the above. may saysay ba mga sinasabi ko?

salamat po.

any idea? :D

Re-work the fan so that it pushes down air into the condenser. Also consider adding a shoroud if the fan is not equipped with one.

You can also try to relocate your condenser to an area with more airflow if you can.

sir otep, dapat push po ba yong fan? halos 3" nlng siguro eh pickup bed na. may makukuha pa kaya syang hangin para maibuga sa condenser? dapat ko ba ibaba ng konte condenser assy tsaka rewire ko fan para maging push? unnecessary na ba yong additional fan? heheh dami tanong, pasensya na po.

share naman ideya nyo mga pipol...

Sir blank Check,

Given the 3" distance from your fan to the pick-up bed, this design will create restriction in the suction process of your fan since the sucked air will immediately bounce at the pick-up bed. Also, this configuration causes the "short cycle" effect as the bounced air has a tendency to be sucked again, thus creating inefficiency. Best way (if feasible) is to move the condenser and install it vertically, positioning the fan at the back (just make sure that the fan has good clearance and nothing blocks-off the air), which in turn will suck the air from the car's side then disposing it below. This installation is almost similar to airconditioned buses.

You can try and relocate the fan na lang on the other side so it will push air in.

An additional fan is not necessary if the one you have now is working properly.

yup, i think its working good. so try ko nlng itransfer ung fan underneath the condenser tsaka rewire to push air up. thanks sir otep, maybe ill try it this weekend.

i'll go for the shroud. if you put a shroud this will maximize the efficiency of the fan without increasing the heat energy of the air. pushing air through a condenser is less efficient than pulling air thru since the heat energy of the air is higher after the fan than before it. if you reverse the flow (fan blowing thru condenser as opposed to fan drawing air thru condenser) then the air is already with a higher heat energy before it even hits the condenser, and therefore will result in a lower heat transfer from the condenser to the air.

teka ninong yebo....mukhang mahaba habang pag iintindi ang kailangan ko dito ah..herherherherh

ambagal ng utak ko.

How about 1 fan blowing ang 1 fan extracting air? Masmalakas ang hangin masmalam

ig.

**yebo** · May 26th, 2005 11:08 PM

ok lang, nahirapan din ako dyan ehehehe!

basically what i'm saying is the air after being pushed by the fan has a higher heat energy, and therefore has less capacity to pick up heat from the condenser.

Yung mainit na Hangin pag tinulak mo pa sa mainit na Area lalong iinit tama ba hehehehe

sire yebo, may natutunan na naman ako sa'yo.

so ok na yong direction ng fan ko na pulling heat away from the condenser. how about transfering the fan underneath the condenser tapos pulling pa rin. may difference kaya? o mas lesser pa rin heat energy from the pavement than from above the condenser which would be the pick up bed? naku ang gulo-gulo na nito. paki intindi nlng po. hehehh. salamat po.

**acenie** · November 29th, 2005 02:35 PM

naguguluhan din ako diyan, pero parang masmaganda kung yung Fan above the condenser tapos pulling heat,kasi kung tumakbo ang sasakyan yung hangin pataas ang direction.

Question mga BOSS tsikoteers....

is it better to install condenser fan pulling air out or in? planning to install one in my ride...

because the summer heat is terrible now... pls advise asap.... sobra init na ng ride ko pag na traffic... hehe...

thanks in advance...

what vehicle do you have?

if you already have a pull fan, you can augment airflow through the condenser and radiator by adding a push fan and maybe a scoop or air dam below the radiator to direct ram air through both the condenser and radiator. similar to the '90's camaro, it is prone to overheating if the scoop is missing from hitting parking lot curbs

Mit Adventure boss...

it doesn't have an auxiliary fan yet for the condenser,,, kaya mukhang high pressure siya pag na traffic....

should the air flow be going into the condenser or sucking air out for better cooling?

thanks....

not very familiar with your vehicle layout. is this an east-west or north-south orientation? if there is an existing radiator fan behind the radiator, you can add a fan in front of the condenser. just make sure the foil of the fan blade you are installing is aerodynamically correct with its rotation.
