1. Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 22:28:51 EST; For those who have installed electric fans, do you use a thermostatic switch to control the fan, or did you hook up a manual on/off switch? Or both? If you used a thermo, what type of sensor and loca; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00087.html (7,382 bytes)

Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2003 21:14:15 -0700; Bill, In my Race Car I have the fan connedted to a thermostatically controlled relay that comes on at 204 degrees. But as a backup, I also have it on a toggle switch so I can override the relay. On m; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00089.html (8,445 bytes)
3. RE: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 21:10:01 -0800; On my 1973 TR6, I used a Wahler Thermo Switch that I sourced from Performance Auto. They call it "Porsche 944 Low Temperature Thermo Fan Switch P/N 924491". It was about $16.00. I retapped the "T" f; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00090.html (8,391 bytes)
4. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 00:27:08 EST; A thermo switch is much better since it is automatic. Get a hot light switch from a GM or Ford car ( most any year from 60's to recent ) Chryslers have always ( at least back to 55) had temp gauges s; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00091.html (9,890 bytes)
5. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 05 Apr 2003 10:10:52 +0200; Bill , I use a thermo switch ( adjustable Jumo ) and a manual over-ride switch . The sensor is fitted in the steel pipe between the water pump and the bottom radiator outlet and is set to about 1700F; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00093.html (8,021 bytes)
6. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 07:32:40 -0500; I too have installed an electric fan on my TR4A as a replacement for the crank driven fan. Initially I used one of the thermo switches that has a capillary tube inserted into the top hose. While tha; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00097.html (10,882 bytes)
7. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 06:47:09 -0800; I chose to mount the switch at the bottom, my reasoning was that it only comes on if the water isn't getting cooled after it passes through the radiator. But my switch comes on at a much lower temper; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00098.html (8,519 bytes)
8. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 10:16:31 -0500; Darrell, In my opinion at idle you risk having temperatures in the head reach unacceptable numbers before your fan is activated, even with the lower settings as you've indicated. I find that my car r; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00100.html (9,566 bytes)
9. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 07:23:23 -0800; The fan comes on just before the gauge hits the upper range of the bracket around the center 70 C mark. Normally the gauge reads just below the 70 C mark. As a side note, my car has a temp gauge in C; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00101.html (8,954 bytes)
10. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 05 Apr 2003 18:17:06 +0200; Jerry , I agree entirely that the setting must be much lower than the outlet temperature but I believe that the outlet temp is proportional to the inlet temp at idle , when the electric fan is most n; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00102.html (8,468 bytes)
11. RE: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 16:00:38 -0800; My TR3A is still using a manual switch, as I never got my homebrew automatic switch to work right. It's a right pain, I'm always forgetting to either turn it on or turn it off. For the Stag, I bough; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00111.html (8,295 bytes)
12. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2003 10:22:42 -0400; Darrell, My car has the "approximate" type gauge. It is the original gauge that came with the car when I bought the car in 1969. It shows the hot zone only as a red mark. I've been in the red zone wh; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00134.html (11,673 bytes)
13. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2003 22:55:00 -0700; All I can say is there seems to be some sound reasons for either choice. What I like about using the temp as the water exits the radiator is that the fan only comes on when it is needed, i.e. when th; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00151.html (11,742 bytes)
14. Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 16:32:46 -0700 (PDT); I've used two kinds of thermo-actuated switches. First I bought an adjustable one and mounted the sensor at the bottom of the core. I adjusted it to kick in when the exit temp (the temp at the bottom; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00158.html (7,844 bytes)
15. Re: Electric Fan Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 14:02:55 +0200; I also think the temperature is best sensed at the top of the radiator. Many continental cars use thermal switches which screw into a 22mm thread in the rad. I soldered a 22mm half nut to the top of; /html/triumphs/2003-04/msg00166.html (9,057 bytes)
