The bearing housing is disposed about the shaft. The air bearing is disposed proximate the second shaft end and is disposed between the bearing arm and the second shaft end.

Fan speed control algorithm for engine cooling

A control system that uses an algorithm to control the fan speed in a cooling system for an engine is disclosed. The algorithm is adapted to maintain a cooling medium at a set temperature instead of an operating temperature range of the cooling medium. The algorithm is also adapted to maintain a cooling medium at a set temperature and to build a cooling safety margin in response to an engine output torque percentage that is below an output torque percentage setpoint.
