Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for reversing an air mover to remove debris from a cooling system of a work vehicle. In one embodiment, the largest required fan speed for cooling the engine coolant, hydraulic oil and the charge air is used as the set point speed for a fan. The fan is operated at the set point speed to generate airflow across each of the heat exchangers. Multiple conditions are evaluated for reversing the direction of the fan.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for removing debris from a cooling system of a work vehicle with a fan, the cooling system comprising a plurality of heat exchangers, said method comprising: determining a required fan speed for each of said plurality of heat exchangers to cool each said heat exchanger; determining a fan set point speed based on the highest said required fan speed, operating the fan at said fan set point speed to generate airflow across each of said heat exchang…
