A Fan Drive Assembly
A fan drive assembly for a vehicle, which can provide reverse fan flow. The assembly has a fan, where separate forward and reverse clutches are coupled to the fan. The reverse clutch has a greater torque capacity than the forward clutch, such that when the reverse clutch is applied, the forward clutch is made to slip, allowing for the reverse rotation and flow of the fan.
Variable pitch fan control system
A fan control system for a variable pitch fan of a work vehicle includes a first sensor that measures a parameter of a cooling system and a blade pitch module that adjust a pitch of a plurality of blades of the variable pitch fan to generate airflow in a first direction. A reversing module selectively commands a fan reversal that includes instructing the blade pitch module to temporarily adjust the pitch of the plurality of blades to generate airflow in a second direction. A first timer module, in response to the reversing module commanding the fan reversal, resets and increments a first timer and compares the first timer to a first threshold. A first reversal prevention module, in response to the first timer being less than the first threshold, prevents the reversing module from commanding a fan reversal by indicating that a first type of fan reversal is not permitted.
TRANSVERSELY ORIENTED COOLING PACKAGE FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER
An agricultural harvester includes an IC engine, a grain tank, and a fluid cooling system for at least one component onboard the agricultural harvester. The fluid cooling system has a cooling package positioned between the IC engine and the grain tank. The cooling package includes a housing, and a plurality of cooling units arranged in a side-to-side manner within the housing, transverse to a fore-aft direction of the harvester.

COOLING DEVICE
A cooling device includes a refrigerant flow path provided in a propulsion system of a ship; an electric pump configured to cause a refrigerant or a cleaning medium to flow through the refrigerant flow path; and a control unit configured to control operations of the propulsion system and the electric pump. The control unit executes each of a plurality of operating modes including a first operating mode (normal operating mode) which drives the propulsion system and the electric pump and causes the refrigerant to flow through the refrigerant flow path, and a second operating mode (maintenance mode) which drives the electric pump without driving the propulsion system and causes the cleaning medium to flow through the refrigerant flow path.
COOLING DEVICE FOR POWER SOURCE FOR SHIP PROPULSION DEVICE
The cooling device for a power source for a ship propulsion device that pumps up cooling water, from which foreign matters with sizes that cause clogging of a cooling water route have been removed, supplies the cooling water to a cooling water passage (30), and discharges the cooling water to outside after cooling a power source (10) includes: a cartridge-type filtration device (40, 73) that is provided at a midpoint of a first water passage (36, 71) in the cooling water route and incorporates a filter (45, 46) for filtrating foreign matters remaining in the cooling water; and a second water passage (38, 72) that is branched from the first water passage and adapted such that a valve member (53) is opened to cause the cooling water to flow in a case in which clogging occurs in the filter.

COOLING DEVICE FOR POWER SOURCE FOR SHIP PROPULSION DEVICE
The cooling device for a power source for a ship propulsion device that pumps up cooling water, from which foreign matters with sizes that cause clogging of a cooling water route have been removed, supplies the cooling water to a cooling water passage (30), and discharges the cooling water to outside after cooling a power source (10) includes: a filtration device (40, 40A, 40B) provided in the cooling water route to filtrate foreign matters remaining in the cooling water, and the filtration device is of a cartridge type that incorporates a filter (45, 72) for filtration disposed in a main water passage (P1) and a valve member (46, 66) configured to open and close a bypass water passage (P2) and that is configured such that in a case in which clogging occurs in the filter, the valve member opens to cause the cooling water to flow via the bypass water passage.

Method for cleaning cooling system of a work machine and system thereof
A control system for controlling a work machine includes an engine for producing power to propel the work machine during a normal operating mode, a cooling system for cooling at least the engine during the normal operating mode, and a controller for controlling the cleaning system during the normal operating mode and a clean operating mode. During the normal operating mode, the engine is running and the controller operably controls a cooling fan of the cooling system to rotate in a first rotational direction to produce a first air flow in a first direction. During the clean operating mode, the engine is not running and the controller operably controls the cooling fan to rotate in a second rotational direction to produce a second air flow in a second direction. The first rotational direction is opposite the second rotational direction, and the first direction is opposite the second direction.
