radiator fan
Heat-dispersing car component
A radiator fan is the cooling fan mounted near a vehicle's radiator, drawing air through the radiator fins to dissipate engine heat.
In older vehicles, the fan connects mechanically to the engine; modern vehicles typically use electric fans that activate when coolant temperature rises: The radiator fan kicked on as we idled in traffic.
