[DeTomaso] Flex-a-lite question

[Jerry Knotts]

After having my GT5 for about a year, I was caught in a big city traffic 
congestion for over two hours in Tulsa.  I only took about 5 minutes for 
me to overheat and make my way to the shoulder. After getting home I 
checked the fans and found that they were wired to suck but mounted in 
front of the radiator.  Thus they were blowing air out the front of the 
car.  Working hard to keep air out of the radiator shroud.  Have 
corrected them but not tested them in heat with lowered air flow.

   This tells me the fan blades are expected to
     perform whether rotating CW or CCW. But I've always heard blades are
     optimal for one direction only, and show reduced efficiency when
     rotating opposite to the intended function.

   That is true, when a fan blade is designed to be used in opposite
   directions its efficiency is lower and most of the time noisier. The
   convenience of a dual flow fans overwhelms its efficiency. Of course
   the s shaped blades are quieter.
