Has anyone tried using an electric cooling fan on nhc250 to avoid replacing fan clutch
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
On a side note, I’ve got a m931 with the nhc250 I’d sell you the clutchHas anyone tried using an electric cooling fan on nhc250 to avoid replacing fan clutch
Hey heh. I like that. Yes they do and you know it too.move an exorbitant amount of air
So can all electric. Most all of the newer transit busses are electric fan only. They do a great job and eliminate the old giant hydraulic pumps needed to turn the fan motors and decrease parasitic load. On the dyno, when the hydraulic fans locked up, there was a noticable HP drop, IIRC right around 30 HP at the wheels on a T drive application. I've also seen all electric on OTR fleet trucks, Overnite Transportation comes to mind. Their fuel milage on the electric fan units was around 11 MPG.To answer your question, no I haven’t tried it on a 5 ton. But I have tried it with a 5.9 Cummins dodge and seen a few people do the same....it doesn’t work. Mechanical fans move an exorbitant amount of air. Electric fans just don’t.
Well I stand corrected. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t mechanical. Learn something every day.So can all electric. Most all of the newer transit busses are electric fan only.
