On the hydraulic excavator R 9250, the engine coolant is cooled in radiators, which are ventilated by one coo-
ling fan.
The cooling fan is driven hydraulically by the pump P6.1 that supplies one hydraulic motor MF1.
The hydraulic oil is cooled in radiators, which are ventilated by one cooling fan.
The cooling fan is driven hydraulically by the pump P6.2 that supplied one hydraulic motor MF2.

9.0.1.2 Hydraulic
Regulation plate (A1019) Transmitter for hydraulic oil level (B14) and tempera-
ture (B67)
of the regulation solenoid valves Y10.1 depends on the engine coolant temperature and others parameters
(see next § temperature regulation). The opening of the regulation solenoid valves Y10.2 depends on the hy-
draulic oil temperature (see next § temperature regulation).
Each hydraulic motor FMF is equipped with a suction valve to prevent cavitation and with a pressure cut off
valve to prevent mechanical damages if the corresponding fan is blocked.
Description
The pump A11VO75DRX is described in the § hydraulic pump A11VO75DRX
Regulation
The operation of the engine cooling pump and the hydraulic oil cooling pump are the same, and the regulation
pressure values are the same too.
The regulation solenoid valves Y10.1 and Y10.2 are installed between the port «Fa» (replenishing pressure)
and the regulators.
We use here the pump P6.2 to describe the functioning.
Pressure regulation
This regulation allows to adjust the pump flow in function of the pump high pressure Hd.
• The pump high pressure is applied on the regulator 24.2 via a disk.
• The spring is adjusted so that the pressure delivered by the pump drives the motors (and so the fans) at
the prescribed speed.
• While the nominal value of the pressure is not reached, the regulator 24.2 connects the bottom side of the
control piston 21.1 to the pump high pressure Hd via the regulator 24.2 through the throttle 21.3. The
pump is then swivelled out.
• As soon as the nominal pressure value in the circuit is reached, the pump high pressure Hd pushes the
regulator 24.2 to the right. The regulator 24.2 connects the bottom side of the control piston 21.2 to the
pump high pressure Hd via the regulator 24.2 through the throttle 21.4. The pump is then swivelled in and
the equilibrium is reached.
Flow regulation
This regulation allows to adjust the pump flow in function of the opening of the regulation solenoid valves. The
solenoid valves receive a regulating current from the BST depending on recorded parameters (the fuel tempe-
rature, the coolant temperature and the air intake manifold temperature for Y10.1, the oil temperature for
Y10.2). See next § temperature regulation.
• Acting like a variable throttle, the regulation solenoid valve Y10.2 changes the pilot pressure (30 bar) into
the positioning pressure (Pst).
• The positioning pressure (Pst) is applied on the regulator via a circle (this surface is bigger as the crown
surface on which the pump high pressure Hd is applied).
• Depending on its position (and so on the value of the positioning pressure), the regulator 24.2 makes the
value of the regulation pressure (Preg) change. It connects the bottom side of the control piston 21.1 or
the control piston 21.2 either with the pump high pressure Hd or with or with the tank pressure. The pump
is then swivelled out or back until a new equilibrium is reached.
• When the machine is cold, the current on Y10.2 is maximal, Y10.2 is opened.
• The positioning pressure is maximal and thanks to the high pressure the regulator 24.2 is pushed to the
right.
• Then the bottom side of the piston 21.2 is connected to the high pressure via the regulator 24.2.
• As the rode side of the piston 21.2 is connected to the high pressure, the pump swivels to minimum angle.
• The fan speed is minimal.
Situation for intermediate temperature
• When the temperature of the machine increases, the current on Y10.2 decreases and Y10.2 gets partially
closed.
• Y10.2 acts as a throttle on the pilot pressure. The pilot pressure applied on regulator 24.2 side decreases.
• The spring partially pushes the regulator 24.2 to the left. The pressure applied on the bottom side of the
control piston 21.2 decreases. So the piston 21.1 moves to the right, and the piston 21.2 move to the left.
• The pump swivels out to a greater angle. The fans speed increases until a new balance with the tempe-
rature is reached.
• The fan speed is intermediate.
Situation for hot temperature
• When the temperature of the machine reaches the upper limit, the current on Y10.2 has a minimum value.
Y10.2 get completety closed.
• The positioning pressure becomes very low. The spring pushes the regulator 24.2 completely to the left.
• The pressure applied on the bottom side of the control piston 21.2 decreases. So the piston 21.1 moves
completely to the right, and the piston 21.2 move to the left.
• The pump swivels out to maximum angle.
• The fan speed reached its maximum value.
Hydraulic oil
The hydraulic oil temperature sensor B67 and the hydraulic oil level sensor B14 are situated on top of the hy-
draulic tank.
The resistance of the sensor B67 is changing in relation with the hydraulic oil temperature in the tank.
The first BST (U16) receives this resistance value and convert it in a temperature value in °C (see graph
R=f(T)).
The BST supplies the RSV Y10_2 with a regulating current, which depends directly of the hydraulic oil tempe-
rature. The responses I (RSV for Y10_2)=f(T) are pre-programmed in the BST unit U16 (see graph IY10.2 =
f(T)).
This current is used to regulate the pump because the solenoid valve Y10.2 acts as a variable throttle and con-
trols the pressure applied on the pressure cut off valve. This allows to control the positioning piston and then
the pump angle. Consequently, the fan speed is directly controlled by the BST.
A green light diode on the regulation connection box E1038 lights up if there is current on Y10.2. This diode is
used to check rapidly if there is a problem in the electrical circuit.
At the start, the current supplying Y10.2 is blocked at 500 mA during one minute. The regulation works normally
after one minute. This makes some oil flow in the cooling circuit at the start.
In case of safety operation (by pushing the switch S74), the relay on the plate A1019 is energised and the cur-
rent on RSV Y10_2 is open circuited. The RSV is closed thus the pump swivels out to maximum angle. In this
case, the fans turn at maximum speed.
Engine coolant
The QUANTUM system receives several parameters from censors located on the engine. Three parameters
are used to regulate the fan speed :
• the fuel temperature
• the coolant temperature
• the air intake manifold temperature
The QUANTUM system calculates a pulse wide modulated signal (PWM) depending on the values of the
measured parameters.
If the temperature is below the low regulation limit (fan on with low speed), the PWM is equal to the maximum
(95%).
Between the two regulation limits (low and high), the signal decreases in relation with the most important pro-
portion between the measured value and the low and high limits in all the three temperature ranges. It means
that the QUANTUM system calculates the lower PWM of the measured parameters.
Above the high limit value (fan on with full speed), the PWM signal is equal to 5%.
The lower PWM (which corresponds to the most unfavourable parameter of the three measured parameters)
is then sent to the regulation plate A1019. This plate converts the PWM signal in an analogical signal. The va-
riation of the intensity of this signal is proportional to the PWM between 5% and 95%. This signal is then am-
plified by the BST and is sent via the plate A1019 to the regulation solenoid valve Y10.1.
At the start, the current supplying Y10.1 is blocked at 500 mA during one minute. The regulation works normally
after one minute. This makes oil flow in the cooling circuit at the start.
In case of safety operation (by pushing the switch S74), the relay on the plate A1019 is energised and the cur-
rent on RSV Y10_1 is open circuited. The RSV is closed and thus the pump swivels out to maximum angle. In
this case, fans turn at maximum speed.

Description
The FMF fixed displacement motor is used to drive cooling fans. The axial piston motor is designeed as a
swash plate type motor.
Axial piston motors are energy converters : they transform hydraulic energy into mechanical energy by their
axially directed pistons in a cylinder housing.
The pistons with glide shoes rotate on the swash plate. Because of the inclination of the gliding surface, a piston
stroke is created in the cylinder, and thus the constant flow volume of the oil motor.
