Bringing together its Flex-Wave electric fan blade and LoBoy 16” fan, Flex-A-Lite has achieved a brand-new, best-in-class fan assembly. The LoBoy Flex-Wave electric fan leverages the aerodynamic efficiencies of the patent-pending Flex-Wave design to move a class-leading 3,000 cfm of airflow—33% more than the leading competitor.

The Flex-Wave blade itself is so much more than just a different visual look. Its “sine-wave” profile creates leading edges that cut through the air first in a way that blades with solid, single lines cannot, creating more efficient air movement along with winglet tips that reduce air vortices. In addition, the waved surface provides channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow through the radiator and reducing energy loss. And finally, variations in the trailing blade edges reduce wind noise.

The Flex-A-Lite LoBoy Flex-Wave electric fan can be purchased as a puller (PN 238) or pusher (PN 239).

Features

  • 3,000 cfm airflow—33% more than the leading competitor.
  • Flex-Wave sine-wave blades improve air efficiency.
  • Winglet tips reduce air vortices.
  • Variations in trailing blade edges reduce wind noise.
  • Available as a puller fan (238) or pusher fan (239).

Bringing performance cooling to demanding engine applications—when engine coolant alone just isn’t enough to guard against wear and failure—the 700021 engine oil cooler from Flex-A-Lite provides four times the heat rejection of typical low-cost coolers thanks to turbulized and louvered fins that transmit more heat into the air. Acting in tandem is the 1.75” thick core, which minimizes oil pressure drop while maximizing heat transfer.

Flex-A-Lite engineered the 21-row, stacked-plate 700021 cooler to be mounted remotely and included a 6.5” electric fan and -8, -10, and -12 interchangeable AN fittings with O-rings.

Models

  • Performance cooling for demanding engine applications.
  • Mounts remotely and includes a 6.5” electric fan.
  • Four times the heat rejection of typical low-cost coolers.
  • Advanced fins and core in a 21-row, stacked-plate design.
  • Interchangeable -8, -10, and -12 AN fittings with O-rings included.
  • Measures 11” x 7.5” x 4.25”.
