AFCO Cooling Systems: What Will Work Best for You?

It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about a street/strip car, or a track-only car, a part of a vehicle we all sweat is the cooling system. That is one area we can’t skimp on or it’ll come back to bite us in a big way. And even if we do install the best cooling system known to man, we’re always looking at the coolant temperature gauge to make sure it’s doing the job.

With as much experience that Afco's Jay Miller has, he knows what your street or race car needs when it comes to its cooling system.

We make sure to have the right radiator, the right fan, the correct radiator hoses, the right thermostat, and the like. We agonize over a copper or aluminum radiator, water pump choices, thermostat temperature applications, and whether we want a belt-driver fan or an electric fan.

When it comes to cooling fans, there are standard fans, clutch fans, electric fans, pusher and puller fans, etc. It can be quite confusing exactly what our particular car needs, but AFCO Racing has cooling systems down to a science, and the company knows what will make your car run cool when the heat is on.

Afco has what you need from a cooling standpoint, and the company can help tailor a cooling system around your car's combination.

In this video, the company discusses single or dual fan applications, along with fan shrouds, and how they affect cooling system performance. The video points out that in some applications a single fan and shroud isn’t optimum because of component packaging, and how a single electric fan can encroach on engine compartment space. Dual fan applications are more compatible in many applications because the area between the fans provides ample room for water pump clearance.

One thing is for sure, whether you choose a single or dual electric fan combination, AFCO has what you need to keep your car cool.
