Hydrostatic fan drive systems; 

Cooling systems save on energy and space; Hydrostatic fan drive systems that can assist with the cooling of engines and exhaust systems in rail vehicles.

By continuously adjusting cooling effort to match changing requirements, the systems reduce energy use compared with traditional solutions.

They also occupy up to 20 per cent less space in the engine compartment.

According to the company, hydrostatic fan drive cooling systems provide designers with a convenient and dependable way of optimising engine and combustion temperatures, which is an essential prerequisite for satisfying increasingly stringent emission requirements.

With higher exhaust gas standards such as Euro 6, Tier 4, environmental sensitivity has become more important with higher exhaust gas standards.

Radiator cooling capacity may need to rise by up to 40 per cent, resulting in size increases of 20 per cent.

Fan drives that are applied to engines and exhaust systems compensate for this and reduce noise pollution, reducing the impact on the environment.

The robust Bodas RC controller is a programmable vehicle PLC.

It ensures the fan is always operating at the right speed from when the engine is cold, to ensure minimum time in the inefficient warm up phase, to maximum speed when the engine is operating at full power.

This keeps the engine temperature and efficiency at optimum levels, irrespective of engine the speed.

The controller can be connected to the CAN bus of the engine, thus making additional sensors unnecessary.

There are options on drives, pumps and number of sensors to suit the particular vehicle and suppliers will work with individual customers to ensure the best and most economical option is chosen.

In complex applications, multiple controllers can be connected via the CAN bus to form a network.

The number of inputs and outputs can be extended quickly and economically, and safety features are integrated in the standard version to facilitate simple and reliable machine diagnostics.

Matched to the RC controllers, the Bodas software modules offer preconfigured application solutions for drive and working hydraulics.
