Everything You Need to Know

Comprehensive answers to the most frequently asked questions about our products.

Q: What vehicles are compatible with Steele Brushless Electric Fans?

A: Our fans are designed for versatile use and can be adapted to various vehicles, including cars, trucks, UTVs, and more. They are ideal for high-performance cooling and/or low amp draw applications, such as restoration/custom builds, racing, and off-road environments. For restoration and custom builds, the low amp draw and efficient cooling are crucial to maintaining the integrity of older electrical systems and maximizing performance. In racing, the high-performance cooling ensures optimal engine temperature even under extreme conditions, while the low amp draw conserves power for other critical components. In off-road environments, the durable construction and IP68 rating ensure reliable performance in harsh conditions, including dust, mud, and water exposure.

Q: How does the STEELE Soft Start Technology benefit my vehicle's electrical system?

A: STEELE Soft start technology gradually increases power usage to reach maximum amp use, preventing sharp spikes in current. During our comparison, testing of similar-sized brushed fans versus our brushless fans, we observed that brushed fans had significant initial inrush-current spikes from 20 to 60 amps before gradually dropping and stabilizing. In contrast, our brushless fans have a very low amp draw and a smooth ramp-up, which reduces stress on your vehicle's electrical system, protects components, and enhances overall system reliability. Many customers prefer our fans for their low amp draw and gentle start-up, contributing to a longer lifespan for both the fan and the vehicle's battery and alternator.

Q: Can I install the Steele Brushless Electric Fan myself, or do I need a professional?

A: The fan is designed for straightforward installation and can be installed by anyone with basic mechanical skills. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Q: What is the warranty period for a Steele Brushless Electric Fan?

A: The fan comes with a one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues. For detailed warranty information, please refer to the warranty section on our website or contact customer support.

Q: How does the fan's IP68 rating benefit me?

A: The IP68 rating means the fan is completely dust-tight and can withstand continuous immersion in water, typically up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes or more. This makes it ideal for off-road and extreme weather conditions, ensuring exceptional durability and protection against dust and water.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of a Steele Brushless Electric Fan?

A: The fan is designed with a duty cycle of 50,000 hours, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability under various operating conditions.

Q: How does the PWM sensor control work?

A: The PWM sensor control allows for proportional fan speed control through your Power Distribution Module (PDM) with a frequency range between 50-200Hz, starting at 15% and going up to 100% full speed. This model includes an additional wire that connects to a PWM controller, compatible with many PWM sources within the specified frequency range. Additionally, if the PWM signal is lost, the fan has a built-in failsafe that automatically runs the fan at full speed to ensure continuous cooling. We also offer a standard model with a soft start feature for steady performance without PWM.

Q: What makes the brushless motor superior to traditional brushed motors?

A: Brushless motors offer several advantages over traditional brushed motors, including higher efficiency due to eliminating friction and voltage drops from brushes, which reduces energy loss. They also have a longer operational lifespan because fewer components wear out, resulting in lower maintenance needs. Brushless motors provide enhanced power output, offering higher torque and faster acceleration. Additionally, the lack of brushes means less maintenance, minimizing downtime. The electronic control systems in brushless motors allow for precise speed and torque adjustments, making them ideal for high-precision applications.
