Subject:      Cooling Fan -AC Condenser Effieciency

I'm having my dual AC (front and rear) AC hooked up and my AC shop is concerned that that the electric cooling fan which comes on when the AC is turned on is not pulling enough air over the condenser when the van is stopped.

The fan is shrouded and has two speeds depending on the temp of water exiting the radiator. It comes on low speed whenever the AC is turned on.

We are considering jumping the fan switch to have it turn on at high speed whenever the AC is on.

Anyone done anything to increase the power or efficiency of the stock cooling fan??
