How does a viscous coupled engine cooling fan work?
The viscous-coupled fan is a neat and effective system. It cuts out the fan or slows it right down and reduces both fan noise and the drain on engine power. The coupling is almost invariably housed in a specially designed unit, the fan blades being separately fitted nylon blades.
What kind of fan has a belt drive?
Belt driven fans are used in heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and cooling (HVAC) systems. The speed of a fan wheel versus the speed of the motor with a belt drive can be calculated as A synchronous electrical motor rotates with speed 1000 rpm. The motor pulley diameter is 76.5 mm and the fan pulley diameter is 205.5 mm.
What can cause a fan to be bent?
Check the condition of the fan and impeller on receipt and for debris in the duct. Replace the impeller if damaged. Bent blades can be caused by the fan running in stall or the air entry/discharge conditions to the fan creating excessive vibration. Check the air entry conditions to the impeller do not generate excessive turbulence.
How to calculate the speed of a fan?
A synchronous electrical motor rotates with speed 1000 rpm. The motor pulley diameter is 76.5 mm and the fan pulley diameter is 205.5 mm. The speed of the fan can be calculated by modifying (1) to. n f = d m n m / d f . – or with values: n f = (76.5 mm) (1000 rpm) / (205.5 mm) .
When does the viscous fan coupling turn on?
At this stage, the viscous fan coupling is engaged and turns at around 80% of the rotation speed of the engine.It is good practice to always check the condition of the viscous fan coupling when the water pump is replaced. A worn coupling will directly affect the water pump’s lifespan.
Do you need to consider viscosity of gas in fan calculations?
A higher level of accuracy would require the effects of say, the viscosity of the gas, surface roughness of the fan, scale effect also be considered. However, depending on the level of accuracy required, for many fan calculations, this may not be necessary.
