Re: Which goes first? the Fan or the Radiator?
On the "push" side of the fan the airflow tends to move in a spiral. The motor also blocks some of the airflow. This doesn't happen on the "pull" side though.
Depending on the fan design, and how it is mounted, this may or may not effect performance. Generally, a shroud lessens these effects.
