COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN FOR EARTHMOVING VEHICLES

The basic criteria are presented for the design of an optimum earthmoving vehicle cooling system. Cooperation by the vehicle designer, cooling components manufacturer, fan manufacturer, and lab and field test personnel is required to obtain the best compromise. In providing the specified cooling, deaeration and reliability of the radiator and oil coolers for heavy duty off-highway earthmoving vehicles, five categories are important: vehicle design criteria for optimum cooling and air flow; radiator design and installation; oil cooler design and installation; testing; and maintenance.
