Which Vehicles Use Silicone Oil Fans?
1 Answers
Vehicles that use silicone oil fans include: off-road vehicles, trucks, semi-trailers, and heavy-duty trucks. A silicone oil fan, also known as a silicone oil fan clutch, uses silicone oil as a medium to transmit torque through its shear viscosity. Its functions are: 1. Adjusting the engine's cooling intensity as needed; 2. Reducing fan power consumption, noise, and wear; 3. Preventing engine overcooling, lowering pollution, and saving fuel. The working principle of a silicone oil fan is: when the engine load increases and the coolant temperature rises, the high-temperature airflow blows on the bimetallic temperature sensor, causing the bimetallic strip to deform due to heat. This drives the valve plate transmission pin and controls the deflection angle of the valve plate.
