Horton Variable Fan Drives
RCV250, said to be lighter and simpler
Horton says the new Modulator RCV250 fully variable fan drive is an efficient, integrated, belt-driven fan drive of lighter, compact design, engineered to turn larger fans that require higher torque. It will be in full production this summer.
Its variable operation reduces fan noise while increasing fuel efficiency and available horsepower, the company says. Its design — and lower parts count — is said to result in reduced initial, replacement, and maintenance costs when compared to a viscous fan drive and drive hub combination. At the end of its life cycle, the product can be returned to Horton for remanufacturing.
The new drive is directly controlled and managed by the engine’s electronic control unit, and it can be combined with Horton’s Di Controller for precision cooling.
Features include an integral fan-speed sensor and a magnetic design that speeds reaction time, which in turn increases modulation and cooling.
