Kenlow fans will shift slightly more than HALF the air that a good viscous fan will move. I was advised by a Kenlowe engineer NOT to fit their electric fans to my LSE but to replace the viscous fan, a new hub costs £50 compared to over £100 for Kenlowes.
A vicosu fan when locked up consumes between 3 and 5 Hp, that's 185 amps. How many fans draw this much current? so haw many fans can have a comparable output?

Fair comment, but why do most modern cars use electric fans? I'm guessing the viscous fan is still consuming power even when 'unlocked' and the saving of fuel when using electric fans outweighs this. My electric fans never came on in normal road driving except after several minutes sat in traffic. And then they would cut out again after a minute or so. I found them amazingly efficient.

I put an electric fan on mine, and it was drawing loads of power. I have now put the viscous back on now but it is a pain when wading.
