As the season changes and the
temperature warms up, so will your car. Not only are drivers more apt to take
their rides out when it’s nice out, but warmer outside air means a hotter
engine. SPAL fans offer just what you need to give your engine bay that breeze
it needs to keep chugging along.
If you don’t know SPAL USA by now, here’s a
quick rundown. SPAL is a company
based out of Italy that has been producing the best electric fans and switch
components for over 50 years. While it is considered an aftermarket brand by
most, the truth is that SPAL is so widely respected inside the automotive
industry that many of their fans are bought by automakers and included as stock
in some vehicles.
What
are SPAL cooling fans used for?
SPAL fans are often used
to cool off a car’s radiator, engine oil, or intercooler. There are several
reasons why a driver, any driver, might purchase a SPAL cooling fan. Firstly,
every vehicle deals with the potential for overheating, especially at cruising
speeds or idling. If air isn’t getting into the engine compartment at an
adequate rate, the temperature inside will exceed 185 or 195 degrees Fahrenheit,
causing your vehicle to get too hot. The “everyday” vehicle does not have to
deal with this as often, although it does happen. However, it is more prevalent
with performance models that host aftermarket parts built for speed.

Think of the issues this can cause. If
the radiator overheats, everything from the AC unit on down can be in trouble.
If the oil gets too hot, it does not break down properly. Not only do these
problems bring down performance, but they can also be damaging to a car’s
health. SPAL cooling fans quickly and efficiently bring temps down to
reasonable levels so you don’t have to worry.

The beauty of SPAL USA is that there isn’t
just one fan for one type of vehicle. There are plenty of choices available. You
can find SPAL puller fans
or push fans in diameters ranging from just a couple inches up to 16”. Want
more? You’ve also got straight blade fans, curved blade fans, paddle blade, and
curved paddle blade fans to choose from. Straight blades are intended more for
head-on cooling performance but come with a bit of noise. For drivers that burn
up the road on the track or drag strip, a little extra noise coming from the
fan is not a problem. But if you want just a little more peace and quiet, SPAL S blade fans are for
you. Instead of directly cutting up the air, curved blade fans move it in the
direction it needs to go, resulting in a more subdued sound that you won’t even
hear when the car is in gear.
