Race-Winning Endurance
The sealed motor with an IP68 rating withstands sand, mud, water, and extreme temperatures from -40 to 285°F, ensuring reliable performance.
Performance Control & Failsafe
PWM Sensor Control allows for tailored speed adjustments. The built-in failsafe ensures the fan runs at full speed if the PWM signal is lost.
Dominant Cooling Power
Enhanced airflow efficiently manages engine temperature, ensuring peak performance in extreme conditions.
Quiet and Efficient
Designed to operate with minimal noise and vibration, providing powerful cooling with lower power consumption.
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: 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 SteeleBrushless Electric Fan myself?
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. Refund Policy
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.
