Working principle of automobile silicon oil fan clutch

The regulation of vehicle temperature is to make the car have longer life span. The clutch mode is diversified in the automobile market, and the silicon oil fan clutch has been fully utilized. There are thousands of accessories and only one unique performance.

Introduction of silicon oil fan clutch

He mainly uses silicon oil as a medium, and then passes the torque through shear bond. The design of the fan is designed to make the engine not overheated in bad conditions, but it can reduce its noise pollution. In order to improve the economy of the engine, it often controls the speed of the clutch. The fan has a double metal plate to control its temperature and exchange control through high temperature and low temperature. Noise control in the process of use is also required.

Effect of silicon oil fan clutch

Summer: in high temperature season, the engine is working at low speed and high load, and the internal coolant is very high. At this time the fan plays a very high role, increasing the capacity of the radiator by increasing the cold wind. It is also why the hot state of this type of clutch is very widely used, so we have to use it in the summer.

Winter: in this season, the temperature of the coolant is very low, and the effect of the fan is not surprising when the car is running at high speed. If continued use would consume greater power, more noise would be generated. Although it does not work well, it is also a way of adjusting.

Principle of silicon oil fan clutch

When the engine is running, the load is increasing at a time when the temperature of the coolant is also increasing. At this time, the airflow inside the radiator core is also increasing. When the high temperature gas is blown to the bimetal thermoscope, the bimetallic strip will undergo hot deformation and deflect the valve plate drive pin and control valve piece.

When the air flow exceeds 65 degrees Celsius, the silicon oil is flowing into the working chamber through the opening of the plate hole. The viscous silicon oil flows into the gap between the active plate and the clutch housing, which drives the fan to run at a high speed. When it comes into the centrifugal cavity, it is thrown out of the edge, and then a cycle ability is formed to avoid the increase of the temperature of the silicone oil.

When the air flow is lower than 35 degrees Celsius, it is also the reason for the reduction of the load of the engine. The silicone oil is continuously circulated by centrifugal force to the oil storage cavity until it is evacuated to make it in a separate state. This kind of clutch can not only be used at the corresponding temperature, but also can be used in the case of greater temperature difference, thus reducing the noise of power and fan.
