Flex-A-Lite 232 Details

The revolutionary, patent-pending Flex-Wave™ electric fan from Flex-A-Lite® has greater airflow, is more efficient and is quieter than traditional S-blade and straight-blade designs. The Flex-Wave fan moves up to 20 percent more airflow than Flex-A-Lite Trimline fans, and up to 25 percent more airflow than the comparable electric fans from the competitors! This reversible 12-inch Flex-Wave fan moves 1,325 cfm of airflow.

Converting from a belt-driven fan to a Flex-A-Lite electric fan frees up wasted horsepower and increases gas mileage. When used as an auxiliary fan, these units will provide additional cooling.

More than having just a different look, the Flex-Wave electric-fan blade has several aerodynamic advantages for air movement:

  • Choose fan diameter: 12, 14 or 16 Inch
  • The leading edge of the fan blade is no longer a single, solid line. The sine-wave design creates leading edges that cut through the air first. This starts movement in the air around the blade with greater efficiency.
  • The wave surface of the blades creates channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow and reducing energy losses.
  • The wave surface forms a winglet at the tip of the blade, further increasing efficiency by reducing air vortices.
  • The trailing edge of the fan blade also has variations, which reduces wind noise.
  • 10 blades
  • 20 amp fuse rating
  • Amp draw:
    • 12 Inch Fan @ 8 Amps
    • 14 Inch Fan @ 10 Amps
    • 16 Inch Fan @ 11 Amps
  • Height/Width/Depth:
    • 12" Fan = 13 x 12 x 3-1/2 Inches
    • 14" Fan = 14-3/4 x 14-1/4 x 3-1/2 Inches
    • 16" Fan = 16-1/2 x 16 x 3-3/4 Inches
  • Air Flow:
    • 12" Fan @ 1,325 CFM
    • 14" Fan @ 1,900 CFM
    • 16" Fan @ 2,660 CFM

This fan can really move some air. With the aid of this fan it dropped my water temp almost 15° degrees.

I installed this fan in my 1940 Studebaker, the one I had planned on using (one from a scrap yard) was too small and didn't move enough air thru the radiator. This fan was thinner, larger, and moved a bunch of air.

I fit a 16" and a 12" in my Audi S4. It's a V8, which means they stuffed a small block V8 in a Corolla-sized car. There's nearly no room, and heat is a big issue. These Flex-Waves blast the hot air right out of the engine bay, it's pretty impressive. Quieter than the OEM Valero fans, too.

Yes this a great product

I have a classic 1965, Corvette with AC. With the high heat in Texas, an electric fan was the solution to cooling problems. The Flex Fan with straight blades was selected for its efficiency. Although some customers complained about blade noise, I did not experience any problems but actually found the fan very quiet. I would recommend this product.
