Caliso 22176 Heavy Duty Thermal Engine Cooling Fan Clutch

The Caliso 22176 is a heavy duty thermal engine cooling fan clutch engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This replacement fan clutch is designed for precise temperature-responsive operation, engaging and disengaging the engine cooling fan based on engine compartment heat to maintain optimal engine temperatures.

How It Works:

Thermal fan clutches use a silicone-based fluid sealed within the clutch chamber along with a bi-metallic spring assembly. When engine temperatures rise, the spring reacts and allows fluid to flow, engaging the fan to draw additional airflow through the radiator. Once temperatures stabilize, the clutch partially disengages, reducing unnecessary parasitic load on the engine.

Key Features:

• Heavy duty construction designed to meet or exceed OEM performance standards
• Thermally actuated engagement for automatic temperature-responsive fan control
• Helps prevent engine overheating by increasing airflow when needed
• Reduces engine load, fan noise, and fuel consumption when cooling demand is low
• Industry interchange and application information referenced by part number 22176
• Cross-references include: 215118, 216113, 2663, 36768, 46133, 6232, 77640, 922663, 935-2030

Replacing a worn or failed fan clutch is essential to prevent overheating, excessive fan noise, poor fuel economy, and potential engine damage. The Caliso 22176 is a direct-fit replacement that restores proper cooling system performance.
