conventional engine-cooling fans, Halla Climate Control's patented
wave-blade fan design integrates a single wave-blade fan and saw
tooth-type shroud to create a low power, light weight and high
efficiency cooling fan that significantly reduces overall engine
noise, while increasing air flow. Halla's Wave Blade Fan and Saw
Tooth Shroud cooling fan module is in production on the Hyundai
Sonata for the North American market, as well as Hyundai and Kia
vehicles in other markets. "As vehicle manufacturers drive to
provide consumers with a more comfortable and quiet ride, reducing
NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) has become an increasingly
important requirement for suppliers," said Joy Greenway, vice
president of Visteon's climate product group. "Visteon
congratulates Halla on being named a PACE finalist for its
innovative approach to developing cooling systems for
next-generation vehicles, and we're proud to be partnered with a
company recognized for its quality and technology leadership."
