The fan is controlled by a separate, smaller, MOSFET; the fan is not controlled by the H-bridge.
The fan turns on whenever there is a non-zero voltage produced at the output. The fan turns off after the following three conditions are met: a) the output goes to 0 V, b) 10 seconds have passed, and c) the internal temperature is below 38C. If the temperature is not below this threshold, the fans stay on after the 10 s period.
