Where are the electric fans on a radiator?
Electric radiator fans are available in both pusher and puller designs. Pusher-style fans mount on the front of the radiator and blow air through the radiator core. Puller-style fans mount behind the radiator and draw air through the core. Puller-style fans are recommended for applications in which the electric fan is the primary cooling source.

Puller-style fans mount behind the radiator and draw air through the core. Puller-style fans are recommended for applications in which the electric fan is the primary cooling source. A pusher-style fan can be used as an auxiliary cooling source, but you should sure make the fan covers as much of the radiator core as possible.
Which is better a fan or a radiator?
Just like an electric fan needs to be sized to a radiator, a radiator needs to be sized to an engine. Another factor to look at is the current draw. The more current a fan draws, the more airflow it will have. A more powerful electrical fan can draw air through multi row radiators and air conditioning cores.
Why do you need an electric radiator fan?
Electric Radiator Fans: High-Performance Cooling Fans Choosing an electric radiator fan is a matter of matching the right-sized cooling fan and radiator combo for your engine. Engines need heat to operate efficiently, but require effective cooling—especially in performance applications—to eliminate as much power-robbing heat as possible.
