The True Cost of Compromise: Why Reliable Fans Matter?
May 18, 2024
In the air cooled oil cooler market, there is a perception that fans with plastic blades are prone to breakage and only metal blade fans should be used. This leads customers to choose more expensive metal blade fans, even when plastic blade fans would suffice.
The material of the fan blade itself does not determine its reliability. We’ve seen plastic blade fans for years. Fan blade breakage happens when the design is unreliable, regardless of blade material. Jumping to conclusions about material without considering design is a costly mistake.
Our AL-608 air cooled oil cooler uses specially designed plastic blade fans that are optimized for performance and reliability. We’ve engineered the plastic material and blade shape to withstand high speeds and temperatures without warping or breaking. In thousands of operating hours, we’ve seen practically zero breakage.
The bottom line is fan reliability comes down to design, not just materials. So don’t overpay for metal blades until you’ve evaluated the full fan design. Our oil cooler’s plastic fans prove you can get outstanding reliability at a fraction of the cost. Contact us at the email id in the comment below to learn more about our cooling solutions.
