Hydraulic Fan System

SMCS - 1386; 1387
The hydraulic fan system is used to meet the cooling requirements. The hydraulic fan system reduces
the horsepower that drives the hydraulic fan in a cooler condition or a light work application. The
hydraulic fan system will control the fan speed through the use of a piston pump which drives a fixed
displacement gear motor.

Piston pump (13) is mounted to the front housing of the engine on the left side of the machine. Piston
pump (13) draws oil from hydraulic oil tank (14) through the inlet of the pump. High pressure oil
then flows to control manifold (11). Control manifold (11) directs oil to either the braking system or
to the hydraulic fan motor (5). The braking system has priority. When oil is not required by the
braking system, the oil is directed to hydraulic fan motor (5). Hydraulic fan motor (5) is located at the
rear of the machine between radiator (4) and the engine. Pressurized oil from control manifold (11)
flows into the inlet of hydraulic fan motor (5). The flow of the hydraulic oil causes hydraulic fan
motor (5) to rotate the fan blades. The rotation of the fan forces cool air to flow through the cooling
package.
After the hydraulic oil exits hydraulic fan motor (5), the oil flows through a hydraulic oil line to
hydraulic oil cooler (3). When the engine is first started and the hydraulic oil is cold, the oil from the
piston motor can not easily flow through the hydraulic oil cooler. The oil pressure will increase in the
hydraulic oil cooler. The hydraulic oil cooler bypass valve (2) will open. The valve (2) limits the
maximum oil pressure in hydraulic oil cooler (3) to 450 kPa (65 psi). Case drain oil from piston pump
(13) and the case drain from gear motor (5) flow through a hydraulic oil line to hydraulic oil tank
(14). The oil from the case drain is filtered through a screen in hydraulic tank (14) .

When the temperature of the oil increases, and the pressure of the oil decreases, the force of the
spring in hydraulic oil cooler bypass valve (2) for hydraulic oil cooler (3) is greater than the force of
the oil pressure that is acting on the spring. This allows the hydraulic oil cooler bypass valve (2) to
close. The hydraulic oil flows through hydraulic oil cooler (3), and then through hydraulic oil filter
(1). The oil flows through axle oil cooler (15) and into hydraulic tank (14) .
The hydraulic fan system controls the speed of the fan. The hydraulic fan system allows the speed of
the fan to decrease in cool ambient temperature or in a light work application. The fan speed is
controlled by four temperature sensors (7), (8), (9), and (10). The sensors send data to engine ECM
(6). Engine ECM (6) will interpret the data from the four sensors. Engine ECM (6) will send a change
in current to control manifold (11). The change in current to the valve will change the flow of oil
from control manifold (11) to the spools in pressure and flow compensator valve (12). The movement
of the spool in the pressure and flow compensator valve will decrease the angle of the swashplate in
the hydraulic fan pump. By changing the angle of the swashplate, the volume of oil from hydraulic
pump (13) will decrease and the decrease in the angle of the swashplate will slow the flow of oil to
hydraulic fan motor (5) .
Pressure and flow compensator valve (12) which controls the pump flow is mounted on top of
hydraulic fan pump (13). Pressure and flow compensator valve (12) contains a flow control spool and
a pressure cutoff spool. The settings of both spools can be adjusted.
