Abstract

A thermostatically controlled fan unit, particularly for a motor vehicle, has a fan assembly 17 driven through a clutch 21. The clutch 21 is controlled by a clutch actuator incorporating an element 44 having an elastic modulus which varies significantly with temperature, the element 44 being subjected to air flow temperature (from a radiator 13) or to engine coolant temperature (not shown). <IMAGE>
