Abstract:
Provided is a fan shroud assembly and, more specifically, a fan shroud assembly including a swirling airflow-preventing saw-teeth which is arranged along a predetermined inner circumferential surface of a ventilating part while maintaining a predetermined gap from an end portion of a blade of a fan or an end portion of a fan band of the fan and are formed in a saw-toothed shape, in which both a first area in which the swirling airflow-preventing saw-teeth are formed and a second area from which the swirling airflow-preventing saw-teeth are removed are formed, thereby generating a swirling airflow of ventilated air due to a reduction in pressure fluctuation and thus effectively reducing noise.
Abstract:
A fan assembly includes a shroud having a through opening, around which the shroud defines an air conveying ring, a motor-fan assembly which includes an axial fan rotatable with respect to the support about an axis of rotation, and a noise-reducing annular structure, having a plurality of projections which are arranged in succession in a circumferential direction and extend radially towards the axis of rotation of the fan, each projection having a face which is directed towards the axis of rotation and is substantially parallel thereto, and a plurality of portions radially recessed towards the air conveying ring.
Abstract:
A wheel loader is provided with a top plate, a plate-like member, a diesel particulate filtering device, and a first duct. The top plate has a first outdoor air intake port. The plate-like member is disposed below the first outdoor air intake port. The diesel particulate filtering device is disposed below the plate-like member. A first end part of the first duct is positioned to the rear of the diesel particulate filtering device. A second end part of the first duct is positioned inside the cooling compartment. A connector is disposed in an air flow generated between a gap and the first end part.
Abstract:
There is provided an engine water-cooling device that can increase warming-up efficiency of an engine. The engine water-cooling device includes a thermostat housing that houses a thermostat. The thermostat housing is mounted to a front wall of a cylinder head in one side portion in a width direction of the cylinder head. A cooling water pump is mounted to a front wall of a cylinder block in a central portion in a width direction of the cylinder block. A bypass passage includes an intra-head bypass passage in the cylinder head, and the intra-head bypass passage includes a width-direction passage portion extending from a position behind the thermostat housing to a position behind and above the cooling water pump.
Abstract:
A multi-paneled cooling module adapted to be mounted to an engine exterior protects electronic components such as sensors and associated wiring from heat loads of the engine and/or other heat generating engine devices. The module is formed of wall and ceiling panels having a relatively high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. The cooling module, which includes strategically situated integral coolant passages within several of its panels, is adapted to protect all enclosed electronic components, including electronic pressure sensors, an EGR valve, and all associated wiring and wiring harnesses. For example, the sensors, harnesses, and valve components associated with and proximal to an EGR venturi may be fully protected from overheating, in spite of exposure of those components to massive heat loads generated by the venturi. Finally, the cooling module may incorporate additional cooling accommodation for hydraulic oil cooling if, for example, the EGR valve is hydraulically actuated.
Abstract:
An air-cooled engine includes a cylinder provided with a plurality of cooling fins at an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, a cooling fan, a cylinder cover covering the cylinder, an air guide plate, and an air guide portion. The air guide plate is positioned between an inner surface of the cylinder cover and the fins. The cooling fan generates cooling air stream for cooling the cylinder, and the air guide plate is configured to guide the cooling air stream to flow through a space between the inner surface of the cylinder cover and the fins. A first small space is defined between the air guide plate and the inner surface of the cylinder cover. The air guide portion covers at least a part of the first small space at an upstream side of the air guide plate in the axial direction of the drive shaft.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fan frame for a plurality of fan modules, particularly for a radiator of a motor vehicle, comprising a first fan holder having a first outflow region, at least one further fan holder having a further outflow region, and an intermediate region that connects adjoining edge regions of the first and the further fan holders to each other. The fan frame is characterised in that a shielding device, which separates the first and a further outflow region from each other, is provided in the intermediate region. The present invention further relates to a fan module, particularly having such a fan frame.
Abstract:
A system and method of operating a cooling system for a vehicle engine, wherein one or more motors are operable to rotate one or more fans. Each of the one or more motors is controlled by a motor controller associated with the motor, in response to a control signal received from a system controller and an enable signal received from the vehicle. The motor controller operates the motor at a speed based upon the control signal if the control signal is received, and operates the motor at a predetermined speed if the control signal is not received but the enable signal is received.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a cooling fan-brake of construction equipment, including: generating a brake charging signal of a brake unit; charging hydraulic oil with a high flow rate in the brake unit and completing the charging of hydraulic oil; turning a loading valve of a cooling fan unit off and turning an unloading valve of the cooling fan unit on when the hydraulic oil is charged; and turning the loading valve of the cooling fan unit on and turning the unloading valve of the cooling fan unit off after the charging of hydraulic oil is completed and a predetermined time elapses.
Abstract:
A cooling device includes a base plate to a rear surface side of which an under-floor device is attached; a heat radiating unit attached to a front surface side of the base plate and radiating heat conducted from the under-floor device via the base plate; a cover surrounding the heat radiating unit and including a side opening capable of causing traveling wind to flow therein and thereout, in opposite side surfaces facing a traveling direction of a vehicle; and an guide plate guiding traveling wind flowing in from the side opening to the heat radiating unit by blocking at least part of a gap area between a surface connecting the opposite side surfaces and the heat radiating unit, the guide plate being provided in a side gap area between a side surface of the cover and the heat radiating unit on a traveling-wind flow-in side.
