Hydraulic Fan Drives, Pumps, Valving & Controllers
Hydraulic fan drives are a type of fan drive system that uses hydraulic power to drive the cooling fan in a vehicle’s cooling system. The hydraulic fan drive system consists of a hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor, and control valve.
Hydraulic fan drives offer several advantages over other types of fan drive systems. They provide precise control of the fan speed, which allows for improved engine cooling and performance. Additionally, hydraulic fan drives are typically more efficient than other types of fan drives because they only consume power when the fan is actually needed.
Hydraulic fan drives can also be designed to provide variable speed control, which allows the fan to operate at the optimal speed for a given set of conditions. This can help to improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise levels, as the fan can be slowed down when the engine is not under heavy load or when the vehicle is at low speeds.
