The revolutionary, patent-pending Flex-Wave™ electric fan from Flex-A-Lite® has greater airflow, is more efficient and is quieter than traditional S-blade and straight-blade designs. The Flex-Wave fan moves up to 20 percent more airflow than Flex-A-Lite Trimline fans, and up to 25 percent more airflow than the comparable electric fans from the competitors! This reversible 12-inch Flex-Wave fan moves 1,325 cfm of airflow.
Converting from a belt-driven fan to a Flex-A-Lite electric fan frees up wasted horsepower and increases gas mileage. When used as an auxiliary fan, these units will provide additional cooling.
More than having just a different look, the Flex-Wave electric-fan blade has several aerodynamic advantages for air movement:
- Choose fan diameter: 12, 14 or 16 Inch
- The leading edge of the fan blade is no longer a single, solid line. The sine-wave design creates leading edges that cut through the air first. This starts movement in the air around the blade with greater efficiency.
- The wave surface of the blades creates channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow and reducing energy losses.
- The wave surface forms a winglet at the tip of the blade, further increasing efficiency by reducing air vortices.
- The trailing edge of the fan blade also has variations, which reduces wind noise.

Summary: I installed this fan in my 1940 Studebaker, the one I had planned on using (one from a scrap yard) was too small and didn't move enough air thru the radiator. This fan was thinner, larger, and moved a bunch of air.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Summary: I fit a 16" and a 12" in my Audi S4. It's a V8, which means they stuffed a small block V8 in a Corolla-sized car. There's nearly no room, and heat is a big issue. These Flex-Waves blast the hot air right out of the engine bay, it's pretty impressive. Quieter than the OEM Valero fans, too.
Yes, I recommend this product.
