Abstract
A fan assembly for a work vehicle includes a fan shroud defining an opening and a fan. The fan includes a rotor and one or more blades extending outwardly along a radial direction from the rotor. The fan assembly additionally includes a wear ring attached to the fan shroud and extending inwardly along the radial direction. The wear ring is configured to interact with tips of the blades to increase an efficiency of the fan assembly.
