    Como Funciona FanClutch

    Uploaded by

    roberto mendes
    Thermal fan clutches work by using a thermal spring that opens and closes valve ports to regulate the flow of silicone fluid between a reservoir and the clutch's working area. When cold, the fluid stays in the reservoir, but heat from radiator air causes the spring to open ports allowing centrifugal force to move fluid into the working area, engaging the clutch. As the engine warms, cooler air closes the ports returning fluid to the reservoir and disengaging the clutch to control fan speed based on engine temperature needs.
