I don't have exact facts to quote, but I do believe that the OEM fans on our coaches consume several HP because of the air they need to move. Trying to produce the equivalent airflow with electric fans is going to require a fairly hefty electrical output (possibly 150-200a?)...

A friend of mine has a 69 firebird that he had an aftermarket A/C installed. When they got done they put an electric fan and shroud on it . The engine ran hot so they installed a larger radiator and new water pump. It still ran hot so they went to another shop and that mechanic put a smaller water pump pulley on it and a hi flow water pump. He came by my place a couple of days ago and the engine was at 230 degrees and the new larger radiator was 235 half way down. The air wasn't even on. The new electric fan moved only a small amount of air. Next week I am pulling that fan and installing the stock shroud and a heavy duty clutch fan. If I put in a bigger electric fan that was suggested it will draw 60amps. His alternator is 37 amps that wouldn't support it and what about the needed relays and wiring etc. I feel a good clutch fan is a lot easer to deal with. Buy the way my friend is thousands of dollars poorer from this experience .
