Fan pump
Function
• The rotation and torque of the engine are transmitted to the
shaft of this pump and converted into hydraulic energy in this
pump. This pump discharges the pressurized oil according to
the load.
Radiator • The discharge of this pump can be changed by changing the
Engine swash plate angle in it.

B: Pump discharge pressure input
side Fan pump
C: EPC output pressure received
D: EPC output pressure Swash plate angle

Function
 The servo valve controls the
current input to the EPC valve and
the swash plate angle of the pump
so that they will be related as
shown in the figure. Servo pressure
Big
 The relationship between the input
current to the EPC valve and the
output pressure of the EPC valve Cooling fan rotation
is as follows.

COOLING FAN PUMP [No.2]
Operation
 The output pressure of the EPC valve is applied to the
piston chamber to push the piston. Piston (6) pushes
spool (5) until it is balanced with the spring.
 Then, the land of the servo piston pressure passage is
connected to the pump discharge passages by the cut
of spool (5) and the discharge pressure is led to the
servo piston.
 The servo piston is raised by the rocker cam.
The position feedback is applied and the lever moves to compress the spring.
 If spool (5) is pushed back, the pump discharge circuit and the servo piston
circuit are shut off.
The pressure in the servo piston chamber lowers and the rocker cam returns
toward the maximum swash plate angle.
 These processes are repeated until the swash plate is fixed to a position
where the EPC output is balanced with the spring force.
 Accordingly, as the EPC output pressure is heightened, the swash plate angle
is decreased.
As the EPC output pressure is lowered, the swash plate angle is increased.

COOLING FAN PUMP [No.3]

Operation
1. When pump is started
 If the hydraulic oil from the pump is supplied to
port P and the pressure on the MA side rises and
starting torque is generated in the motor, the
motor starts revolution. The oil on the outlet MB
side of the motor returns through port T to the
tank.

2. When pump is stopped

 If the engine is stopped and the input revolution of
the fan pump lowers to 0 rpm, the hydraulic oil from
the pump is not supplied to port P any more. As the
hydraulic oil is not supplied to the MA side of the
motor, the motor speed lowers gradually to stop.
 If the motor shaft is revolved by the force of inertia
while the oil flow in the port P is reducing, the oil in
port T on the outlet side is sent by the suction valve
(1) to the MA side to prevent cavitations.

OPERATION OF REVERSIBLE VALVE
(1) When ON-OFF solenoid for reversible valve
is turned OFF
 If ON-OFF solenoid (1) for reversible valve is
turned "OFF", the hydraulic oil from the pump
is blocked by ON-OFF reversible valve (2) and
port C is connected to the tank circuit.
 Accordingly, reversible valve spool (3) is
pushed by reversible valve spool spring (4) to
the right to open motor port MA and then the OFF
hydraulic oil flows in to revolve the motor
forward (clockwise).

(2) When ON-OFF solenoid for reversible
valve is turned ON
 If ON-OFF solenoid (1) for reversible valve is
turned "ON", ON-OFF reversible valve (2)
changes to let the hydraulic oil from the pump
flow through port C into spool chamber D.
 The hydraulic oil in chamber D pushes
reversible valve spool (3) against reversible
valve spool spring (4). As a result, motor port Energy
MB opens and the hydraulic oil flows in to ON
revolve the motor in reverse
(counterclockwise).

Safety valve Function
 When the engine is started,
the pressure in port P of the
fan motor is heightened in
some cases.
 Safety valve (1) is installed to
protect the fan system circuit.
Operation
 If the pressure in port P rises
above the cracking pressure
of safety valve (1), valve (2)
of safety valve (1) opens to
release the hydraulic oil into
port T.
By this operation, generation
of abnormal pressure in port
P is prevented.
