Which Vehicles Use Silicone Oil Fans?
1 Answers
Vehicles that predominantly use silicone oil fans include off-road vehicles, trucks, semi-trailers, and heavy-duty trucks. Key aspects: 1. Fan Advantages: Silicone oil fans offer high reliability and durability. 2. Fan Disadvantages: They lack intelligence, have insufficient silicone oil lubrication, and are prone to bearing wear. 3. Working Principle: Equipped with a silicone oil clutch, when temperature rises, the clutch engages, enabling the fan to rotate and cool the radiator. As air temperature passing through the radiator decreases, the bimetallic temperature sensor resets, closing the oil inlet valve. Under centrifugal force, silicone oil returns from the working chamber to the oil reservoir via the oil return hole, disengaging the clutch and significantly reducing fan speed.
