摘要: A control system that uses an algorithm to control the fan speed in a cooling system for an engine is disclosed. The algorithm is adapted to maintain a cooling medium at a set temperature instead of an operating temperature range of the cooling medium. The algorithm is also adapted to maintain a cooling medium at a set temperature and to build a cooling safety margin in response to an engine output torque percentage that is below an output torque percentage setpoint.

摘要: A vehicle radiator air intake screen maintenance system comprising a radiator fan, a fan motor; and a control module operable to control the rotational speed and direction of the radiator fan to: periodically implement a drop cycle whereby a radiator cooling air flow generated by the fan rotating in a forward direction is slowed such debris collected on a radiator air intake screen of the vehicle is caused to fall off due to gravitational force; and periodically implement a full reverse cycle where a rotational direction of the fan is reversed and an expulsion air flow is generated whereby debris collected on vehicle radiator and the air intake screen will be blown off, whereafter reverse rotation of the fan is stopped and the fan is returned to the full forward operating speed and direction.

摘要: A controller of a fan coupling device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires an acceleration parameter and a deviation parameter; a control unit that controls a regulation mechanism; a prediction unit that predicts that hunting occurs in the rotation speed of the fan, when an operating point of the fan expressed with the deviation parameter and the acceleration parameter belongs to a predicted region; and a restraining unit that executes, when the hunting is predicted to occur, a hunting restraining process of executing at least one of lowering an integral gain of a feedback control to be lower than when the hunting is not predicted to occur and increasing a derivative gain of the feedback control to be higher than when the hunting is not predicted to occur.

摘要: An engine cooling control apparatus, a system including the same, and a method thereof provide an engine cooling control apparatus including a processor configured to calculate a required fan rotation speed for controlling a cooling fan based on proportional integral (PI) control and a storage configured to store data acquired by the processor and an algorithm for driving the processor. The processor classifies a plurality of control regions depending on a coolant temperature and adjusts and outputs the required fan rotation speed for each of the control regions.

摘要: A method of coupling a fan to an engine includes selecting a base portion of a fan adapter, which includes a mounting portion and a coupling portion with a mating portion. The mounting portion is configured to be coupled to a fan drive or a fan drive pulley of the engine via one or more mounting elements. The method also includes selecting a fan end portion of the fan adapter. The fan end portion includes a mounting portion and a coupling portion. The mounting portion of the fan end portion is configured to be coupled to the fan, and the coupling portion of the fan end portion includes a mating portion that is complementary to the mating portion of the base portion. The method further includes coupling the engine to the fan by coupling the mating portion of the fan end portion to the mating portion of the base portion.

摘要: A cooling system for a vehicle that includes a temperature detection device for detecting a temperature related to a power transmission apparatus. The cooling system includes a cooling fan and an electronic control apparatus including a load limiting portion configured, when the detected exceeds a limit temperature value, to limit a load applied to the power transmission apparatus. The electronic control apparatus is configured to determine whether the detected temperature is equal to or higher than a fan-cooling temperature value that is lower than the limit temperature value, and to control rotation of the cooling fan, such that the cooling fan is rotated when the detected temperature is not lower than the fan-cooling temperature value, and such that a rotational speed of the cooling fan is higher when a temperature of the power transmission apparatus is high, than when the temperature of the power transmission apparatus is low.

摘要: A system including a cooling fan, an actuator with an actuator temperature sensor, and a controller is disclosed. The controller may be configured to receive temperature data from the actuator temperature sensor. The temperature data may include information relating to an actuator temperature of the actuator. The controller may be configured to compare the actuator temperature with a temperature threshold associated with the actuator, and control the cooling fan to adjust the actuator temperature based on determining that the actuator temperature satisfies the temperature threshold.

摘要: A method of controlling a cooling system includes, by an integrated controller: controller area network (CAN) checking whether CAN communication is abnormal after a vehicle is turned on and control of a cooling fan and an active air flap is initiated; single-communication checking whether communication with a cooling fan controller and an active air flap (AAF) controller is abnormal; performing a first fail-safe operation of communicating with the cooling fan controller and the AAF controller; and controlling the cooling fan and the active air flap based on signals of a first temperature sensor of the cooling fan controller and a second temperature sensor of the AAF controller.
