Leccy fan orientation

[richardthestag]

Going to fit an electric fan in front of the Stag radiator to work in addition to the viscous unit already fitted.

 

I want to push air through the rad and have figured that the unit needs to go clockwise (looking at the photo) anticlockwise when viewed against the front of the rad 

 

Question is should I remove the blade and flip it over? blade profile doesnt look right for a push

It looks fine to me, but to be sure I'd very quickly and loosely wire it up to see which way the air flow is ... aren't there usually arrows to show direction of airflow?

[richardthestag]

no arrows nor blow/suck wording

 

Happy enough that when wired up it blows <fnarr>

Here's one I prepared earlier, down Shep naughty dog stop humping that bird from Magpie's leg.

 

 

 

It has a blade profile  like this

 

 

Running direction is "down" with one edge of yer fan (let's call that the leading edge) is blunt and the other is sharp clearly seen by the accompanying high definition illustration **.  Wind speed through the rad will be slightly different and the blade noise should be more if it runs the "wrong" way but neither serious.  What may be different is the offset so if you turn it over the blade edge nearest the rad may be nearer and possibly hit the rad.

Cheers for that
