In the right view, is the rectangle with 2 wires from the terminal strip a capacitor or some kind of switch? If so, one hot leg to L and the other to N. PE should be ground and have an identified conductor coming from the motor.

Why does the second wire from the capacitor got to an unused terminal?
What is the meaning of that black symbol between the N and L terminal?

One lead from the motor lands on the same terminal. It's kind of hidden. The symbol is a screw that holds the terminal strip to the fan frame.

This fan and a transmission cooler is an after cooler I added to my compressor. Still need to paint and add a guard. The fan will run when the compressor motor runs.

For 220v, it looks to me you would close L with the unmarked terminal for fan to run. N looks to be common to motor. Unless there is some kind of internal jumper(s), or my glasses are on upside down- happens.

Would it be more effective if the fan was blowing the hot air away from the compressor area? You can draw air over the coil instead of pushing it, if you want to turn the fan/motor around.
