What Type of Cooling Is Better, Axial Fan or Flywheel

Flywheel cooling is generally considered better than axial fan cooling for high-performance applications.

Flywheel cooling provides more efficient and targeted cooling compared to axial fans. The flywheel acts as a centrifugal blower, drawing cool air from the surrounding environment and directing it precisely where needed, such as onto the brake rotors. This targeted approach allows for better temperature regulation and improved performance during demanding driving conditions.

In contrast, axial fans rely on airflow moving parallel to the fan’s axis, which can result in less precise cooling. Axial fans are more suitable for general cooling of the engine bay rather than focused cooling of specific components.
