Reversible cooling fan, hydraulic diagram description
The valve block for controlling the reversible fan consists of four pressure-controlled directional valves and two
solenoid valves.
MA205 controls the flow direction to the fan.
In activated position, MA204 drains all directional valves which leads to the flow being directed to tank instead
of the fan.
Pump 3 delivers oil in adequate amount for the fan rpm and cooling that is required.
This is controlled via the V-ECU and MA202. The oil with adequate flow comes from the central valve connection PFF.
Normal phase
Oil enters the block via connection P. Some of the oil is diverted via a restriction and via MA204 to MA205.
When MA205 is not activated, a control pressure is directed to the rear of directional valves 2 and 3. Thus,
these remain closed.
Directional valve 1 and 4 are drained at the rear.
Oil from inlet P opens valve 4 and flows on through valve 3 to the fan. Return oil from the fan is able to open valve 1
and oil is directed to the cooler and tank.
Figure 1
Retardation phase
The V-ECU reduces the output voltage to MA202, the LS-pressure drops and the flow decreases.
MA204 is activated and the rear sides on all directional valves are drained to tank. Thus, the flow will be
directed to tank via the directional valves.
Due to the fan mass inertia, rpm reduction is slow. The retardation phase is in progress until the fan has
reached a speed of 100 rpm.
Figure 2
Reversing phase
MA205 is activated and the control pressure is now directed to the rear of directional valve 1 and 4, which then
are closed.
Directional valve 2 and 3 are drained to tank.
MA202 receives PWM signal corresponding to maximum speed from V-ECU.
Oil from inlet P opens valve 2 and flows on through valve 1 to the fan. Return oil from the fan is able to open valve 3
and oil is directed to the cooler and tank.
