In response to the last post, that doesn't really prove why sucking would be better. if you are blowwing you simply create higher pressure on the backside that the air flows away from. Either way the air flows through.
Assume im a little air molecule. Say there is an intake vent, then a radiator with holes that I must travel through to get to the exhaust vent. There are two situations: Get blown through the holes or get sucked through the holes. If I get blown in I will probably not be lined up with a hole. Therefore I would have to bounce around the face of the radiator until I found a hole. Slowing me down and making less room for other molecules to go in the holes. Or If you get sucked through as the air is coming from the intake and being sucked through the holes, I get sucked right in a hole w/o even hitting a thing. Wouldn't I go faster that way? With less fan power to boot?
