two fans?

I was just snooping around under the hood of my new 2009 2.3 Ranger and happened to notice that there are 2 cooling fans! I've never seen an arrangement quite like it. There's an electric fan right behind the radiator that you can barely see because it's way up inside the shroud and the regular clutch fan mounted on the engine. It doesn't seem like the most efficient setup, but if it works, who am I to say. I wonder what triggers the electric fan to come on, the A/C compressor?

I've got an '08 Ranger with the 2.3L and mine also has two fans. The only time I here the electric fan come on when I turn the A/C on or the defrost.

The electric fan is specifically for the A/C condenser. The only time it comes on is when the A/C compressor will come on.

Thanks for the info, I was really surprised to see it there.
