Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A controller and method for operating an air mover for a cooling system of a work vehicle. In one embodiment, engine coolant, hydraulic oil and charge air temperature data is measured. The temperature data is reconciled by using the largest required fan speed as the set point speed for cooling the heat exchangers with airflow. An air mover is operated at the set point speed to generate airflow across each of the heat exchangers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for managing a plurality of cooling systems of a work vehicle, said method comprising the steps of: receiving a temperature input from each of a plurality of heat exchangers; determining airflow requirements for each of said plurality of heat exchangers; determining which of said heat exchangers requires the most airflow; and generating airflow across each of said plurality of heat exchangers based on said heat exchanger requiring the most air…
