Zusammenfassung:This invention relates generally to engine-driven, electrical generators, and in particular, to a method of cooling engine coolant flowing through a radiator of an engine-driven, electrical generator. A method is provided for facilitating the cooling of engine coolant flowing through a radiator operatively connected to the engine. The method includes the steps of monitoring the temperature of the engine coolant flowing through the radiator and positioning a fan adjacent the radiator. The fan is initially rotated at a predetermined speed. Thereafter, the speed of the fan is varied in response to the temperature of the engine coolant.
