Viscous fan drive from Horton
Horton Inc.
Horton Inc., a worldwide cooling solutions leader for engines, has introduced VMaster, a viscous air-sensing fan drive.
The VMaster delivers variable speeds, resulting in economical operation and high engine performance for medium-duty trucks, the company says. The lightweight and modular VMaster has a precision bimetal sensor that automatically adjusts fan speed based on the temperature of the air from the engine’s heat exchangers. The fan operates at optimum speed, cooling only as needed, which results in less noise and fuel consumption.
The fan drive is currently available for select medium-duty applications, while Horton plans to expand the line by spring 2003 and is working with OEMs to develop first-fit applications.
