Re: Thermo conversion

Since no one posted an answer, I'll take a crack at it. I don't think you'll save more than 2 hp. Think of the size of an electric motor you'd need to run such a fan. Not huge.

On the highway, I don't think if drains much power since there is adequate airflow through the radiator and the belt-driven fan has a thermal clutch that would disengage under those conditions.
