A new and unique facility has been developed at the Turbulent Shear Flows Laboratory at Michigan State University for the study of automotive cooling fans. Performance data can be acquired for a variety of fan and component geometries using this facility. Additionally, detailed velocity measurements can be made in the wake of the fan. This paper describes the details of the facility with examples of the data that can be acquired.
