Typical Applications
Due to the versatility, flexibility and reliability of Danfoss fan drive systems, they may be applied in
numerous applications, including the following.
Danfoss hydraulic fan drive systems allow cooling fan power consumption to be tailored to cooling
requirements. Our systems provide a precise, modulated cooling flow for a given set of monitored
conditions.
The power to drive a cooling fan rises as a cubic function of fan speed (doubling the fan speed requires
an eight-fold increase of input power). However, engine power and cooling demand decrease at higher
speeds. Because of this inverse relationship, a direct drive cooling fan must be sized to meet cooling
requirement at a relatively low engine speed and is therefore significantly oversized for cooling
requirements at higher speeds. Hydraulic fan drive systems allow fan speed to be trimmed so the fan can
be properly sized at low engine speeds without drawing excessive power at high speeds.
Fan systems are sized to provide required air flow at all engine speeds and operating conditions. Directdrive fans consume a great deal of power at higher engine speeds, without any advantage.
Under full cooling demand, maximum fan speed increases with engine speed, up to the set point of the
fan drive system (the point where further increase in speed yields no further gain). Beyond this point fan
speed does not increase, allowing greatly reduced power consumption compared to an untrimmed fan.
Under minimum cooling demand, standby fan speed can be set to provide very low, or minimal air flow.
Fan Speed vs Engine Speed
Flexible Mounting
Wide Range of Components
Basic Operation
Intelligent Control
The upper curves represent maximum cooling conditions; maximum fan speed is trimmed at the set
point. The lowest curve represents the standby condition; fan speed is maintained at a minimum value.
Hydraulic fan drives make it is possible to mount the radiator and fan just about anywhere on the vehicle.
This is advantageous in space conscious designs.
A fan drive system is sized to provide the required fan torque and speed. Danfoss has a wide range of
pumps, motors, controls, and sensors to meet your unique fan drive system needs.
In simplest terms, fan speed is controlled by regulating the amount of hydraulic oil passing through the
fan motor. The greater the flow, the greater the fan speed. The amount of flow is regulated based on one
or more inputs from the power system. Typically, engine coolant temperature is the main controlling
factor. Other system inputs may include hydraulic fluid temperature, charge air temperature and various
signals or switches. As inputs indicate a change in cooling demand, the system adjusts flow to the motor.
At the core of the Danfoss Fan Drive System is a controller that monitors relevant cooling parameters and
adjusts fan speed accordingly.
Fan Drive Controller
The Danfoss fan drive control system monitors cooling parameter inputs and provides an electronic
signal to a proportional hydraulic valve. The proportional valve relays a hydraulic signal either to the
bypass valve on the motor or the displacement control of a variable displacement pump. Possible inputs
to the fan drive control system include engine coolant temperature, charge air temperature, engine or
transmission oil temperature, compartment temperature, ambient temperature, and various other
signals and switches. Also, many engine control systems provide a fan controlling signal or CAN message
which can serve as a cooling parameter input.
Balanced Fan Speed and Heat Generation
When an input, such as engine coolant temperature, rises above a predetermined level, signalling an
increase in cooling demand; fan speed is gradually increased. Coolant temperature and fan speed
continue to rise until heat generation and cooling are balanced. Under most conditions, this balance
occurs at a level below the maximum capability of the system.
Maximum fan speed is reached only under simultaneous conditions of maximum ambient temperature
and maximum engine load. These parameters are set as part of the cooling system design criteria.
Fan Speed Vs. Engine Temperature
Fan speed is increased as monitored temperature increases until balance is reached.
Monitoring various cooling system parameters enables the Danfoss modulating fan drive systems to
increase fan speed as required. As a modulating system, it ramps fan speed only to the level required,
providing only as much air flow as needed to maintain balance between heat generation and cooling.
Gear Pump with Gear Motor and PLUS+1TM Fan Drive Controller
The pump receives oil directly from the reservoir through the inlet line. The output of the pump is
directed to a gear motor with an integral proportional relief valve.
The setting of the valve determines the maximum pressure in the system by bypassing oil (around the
motor’s gear set) directly to the return port of the motor. The proportional valve is normally closed and
requires the application of a PWM signal to reduce the bypass pressure. In a hydraulic fan drive system,
the pre-determined maximum pressure setting determines the maximum pressure to the motor, and the
maximum trim speed of the fan.
Applying a PWM signal to the valve allows the fan to run at speeds below its maximum trim speed,
regardless of the flow supplied by the pump.
Oil exiting the motor is directed back to the reservoir through a filter and a heat exchanger. Oil returning
to the reservoir must enter the reservoir well below the fluid level so air will not be entrained in the fluid.
The oil is diffused as it enters the reservoir to decelerate it to an acceptable level, to mix it with the fluid in
the reservoir, and to prevent the oil from flowing immediately back to the pump inlet. The return oil
should remain in the reservoir long enough to allow any entrained air in the fluid to rise to the surface
and dissipate back into the atmosphere. An anti-cavitation check valve prevents damage to the fan
motor in case of overrun. Fan overrun can occur when fan speed exceeds the speed commanded by the
system due to the fan windmilling in the vehicle’s air stream.
The variable displacement pump sends flow to the fan motor. Based on sensor and other inputs, the
microcontroller adjusts the proportional relief valve to regulate the pressure in the pilot port of the
pump’s load sensing control. Higher pressure in the pilot line results in increased flow to the fan motor.
The control has a pressure compensator feature which can be used to limit the fan’s trim speed. Trim
speed can also be set by software in the microcontroller.
Fan Drive Control System Illustration
Variable Displacement Pump and HIC Cartridge Valve
The system shown below is the same as the previous system with the addition of an electronically
controlled HIC cartridge valve between the pump and motor.
The HIC cartridge valve reverses the hydraulic flow to the motor, thus reversing the rotation of the fan.
This feature is commonly used to clean out the radiator if it becomes clogged with debris.
The variable displacement axial piston pump sends flow to the fixed displacement piston fan motor.
Based on temperature sensor and other inputs, the microcontroller regulates the displacement of the
axial piston pump. Higher coolant temperature results in increased flow to the fan motor. The pumps
displacement control has a pressure compensator feature which can be used to limit the maximum fan
trim speed in either direction. Trim speed can also be set by software in the microcontroller. The nature of
the closed-loop system prevents fan overrun. Zero fan speed is available on demand.
Danfoss offers gear pumps in a variety of models, sizes, capacities, and configurations. Integral priority
flow dividers are available which supply a constant flow for power assisted steering with the remainder
driving the fan drive motor.

Series 45 Variable Displacement Axial Piston Pumps
Danfoss offers a complete family of variable displacement, open circuit, axial piston pumps. The Series 45
family offers a wide range of shafts, flanges, and porting options. Through drives are also available for
auxiliary pump drives. Load sensing (LS), pressure compensating (PC), remote pressure compensating
(RPC) and electro-proportional fan drive controls are available.
The Series 45 fan drive control is an electric proportional control for Series 45 pumps. It controls the
pump based on various machine operating parameters. In a fan drive system, coolant temperature forms
the basis for pump control.
When the solenoid is de-energized, the pump operates in the high pressure standby (pressure
compensation) mode; when the solenoid is fully energized, the pump returns to the low pressure
standby mode of operation. This allows the system to minimize energy loss when the cooling system
does not require cooling fan operation, potentially using existing system control components
(temperature sensor or micro-controller).
The control is proportional. As the current applied to the solenoid increases, the regulated system
pressure gradually decreases until the full current is applied, achieving low standby pressure.

Danfoss Power Solutions Technical Sales Representative.
Note: To properly size and specify a fan drive system, fan power requirements must be stated as accurately as possible. Fan power requirements
can be determined from fan curves supplied by the manufacturer. Radiator and cooler manufacturers will supply air flow requirements based
on heat loads. Air flow information must include accurate air flow and static pressure to determine correct fan power requirements.
Note: Do not locate the filter cartridge inside the reservoir. This reduces the reservoir capacity and reduces the dwell time (the time the oil
spends in the resrevoir). It also increases the potential for damage to the hydraulic components due to aeration of the oil.
Where possible, avoid radial and axial loads on the pump drive.
For in-line drives, place a suitable drive coupling between the prime mover (e.g. engine) and the pump
input shaft to remove radial and axial load potential. For belt driven pump applications an outrigger
bearing may be required to relieve the pump of radial loads. Outrigger bearings are available with ball or
roller bearing support for such applications. For Power Take Off (PTO) drives (where an external gear is
assembled to the pump), and for belt driven pump applications, consult your Danfoss representative.
In many applications the limiting factor for driving a pump is available torque. Pump drive shafts have a
torque limit based on material, design and system pressure. Likewise, pump drives such as air
compressors with PTOs also have torque limits. When planning to drive a pump on the back of an air
compressor, first check with the compressor supplier to understand their product torque limitations.
Most compressors do not have a constant torque capability across their speed range. Typically, the
torque capability of a compressor is lower at low engine speeds and increases to a speed where the
capability remains constant.
A number of pump drive shafts are generally available across the Danfoss product range. Consider
driveshaft selection carefully.
Motors
Pump Inlet
When designing the inlet portion of the hydraulic circuit, it is important to keep the pump inlet pressure
within published limits. To reduce the chances of inlet cavitation problems, observe the following
guidelines:
Position reservoir outlet above the pump inlet level whenever possible.
•
Make the inlet line (hose and fittings) as straight and as short as possible without inducing bending or
•
stress loads onto the inlet port.
Size the inlet line to keep fluid velocities and inlet pressure within the limits published in the
•
individual product literature.
To reduce the chances of port fitting leakage, we recommend using SAE split flange or O-ring boss
•
ports whenever possible.
Pump Outlet
•
Make the outlet line (hose and fittings) as straight and as short as possible without inducing bending
or stress loads onto the outlet port.
•
Ensure the outlet line is sized to keep fluid velocities within the limits published in the individual
product literature.
•
To reduce the chances of port-fitting leakage we recommend using SAE split flange or O-ring boss
ports whenever possible.
SGM2YN and SGM3YN Fan Drive Motors
SGM2Y and SGM3Y fan drive motors have the proportional solenoid bypass relief valve built into the rear
cover. Electrical connector is Deutsch DT 04-2P. Mount the motor so the relief valve is below the reservoir
oil level. Keep the relief valve in a horizontal position.
D Series Fan Drive Motors
D series fan drive motors are available with an integrated proportional or standard relief valve. Mount the
motor so the relief valve is below the reservoir oil level. Keep the relief valve in a horizontal position.
L and K variable motors do not have over-pressure protection or an anti-cavitation valve integrated into
the motor. Both valve functions need to be provided externally.
L and K variable motors may be applied in open circuit systems without external back-pressure valves, as
long as the motor case pressure does not exceed the outlet pressure by more than 0.5 bar [7 psi].
Typically the motor's maximum displacement is used when the system is sized for maximum cooling
when the engine is at Full Load High Idle speed. The motor's minimum displacement is selected to
provide improved cooling when the engine is at its low idle speed.
Reverse Displacement Motors
The Reverse Displacement Motor is a unique design variation of the L and K variable motors.
It has been designed to reverse the direction of fan rotation without using an externally mounted four-
way directional control valve.
The motor is switched from maximum displacement in the forward direction to maximum displacement
in the reverse direction with an integrated solenoid valve.
Over-pressure protection and an anti-cavitation valve are integrated into the motors endcap.
Series 40 Fixed Displacement Motors
Series 40 motors are available with over-pressure protection and an anti-cavitation valve in a
unidirectional open circuit configuration.
They may be applied in open circuit systems without external back-pressure valves as long as the motor
case pressure does not exceed the outlet port pressure by more than 0.5 bar [7.0 psi].
Bi-directional open circuit operation is available, provided that a four-way directional control valve is
located between the pump and the motor.
Series 90 Fixed Displacement Motors
Series 90 fixed displacement motors are available without over-pressure protection or an anti-cavitation
valve in an open circuit configuration.
They may be applied in open circuit systems without external back-pressure valves, but
thrust, case pressure, and maximum shaft speed limits must be respected. (Consult your Danfoss
Technical Sales Representative for assistance when specifying a Series 90 fixed displacement motor in an
open circuit application.
The Plus+1TM controller is designed to control many different hydraulic devices. Mount the Plus+1
TM
controller in a convenient, out of the way, location. A diagnostic connector is required to connect to the
Plus+1TM controller. Mount the connector in an easily accessible location in the operators cabin. Follow
the wiring guidelines found in Plus+1TM module technical literature.
Series 45 Fan Drive Controls
In Danfoss open circuit fan drives, fan speed is regulated by controlling the system pressure differential
across the fan motor. In Series 45 pumps, this is provided by using the Electric Proportional Control
variation. The Electric Proportional Control consists of a proportional solenoid integrated into the Remote
Pressure Compensated control housing. This control provides an output pressure proportional to the
current supplied to the solenoid and allows the pump to be operated at any pressure limit between the
load sense and pressure compensation settings by varying the current sent to the solenoid. Both
Normally Closed and Normally Open control configurations are available. The Normally Closed
configuration is usually applied in system cooling fan installations. It is desireable that the fan
fail to full
speed if there is an interruption of the electrical command to the solenoid, for any reason.
H1 Pump with Fan Drive Control
A fan drive control option is available for the H1 family of high power, closed circuit, variable
displacement pumps. The H1 Fan Drive Control is compatible with the PLUS+1TM controller and the fan
drive application block. The Fan Drive Control is designed with a single solenoid and uses a single control
input to regulate both the fan speed and direction of rotation.
When the pump speed is at the design set point, fan speed required for the desired cooling capacity is
determined by the pump's displacement. In many systems, the fan's speed at this condition may be close
to its maximum design speed. If the pump speed increases beyond the set point and the pump is
commanded to maximum displacement; then the fan speed will increase in proportion to the pump
speed ratio and the pressure drop across the fan motor will increase in proportion to the square of the
pump speed ratio. To prevent this from happening, the system designer is encouraged to limit the
maximum fan speed in each direction of rotation by adjusting the set pressure of the Pressure Limiters
for both directions of rotation.
The Fan Drive Control (FDC) has limitations on the maximum servo delta pressure developed, compared
to other types of controls, and so there are limitations to the operating conditions which can be achieved
in the various frame size H1 pumps. Typical fan drive systems are unusual in that they achieve peak
pressure only at high flows, so it is important that FDC equipped pumps not be applied beyond the
specified limits. (Refer to Fan Drive Design Guidelines520L0926, Appendix H, for additional information,
or contact your Danfoss Technical Sales Representative for assistance.)
Fan drives are sized with reserve pump capacity so that peak fan speed can be maintained even when
engine speed is reduced, as illustrated below. This is a feature that is unique to the Danfoss H1 Fan Drive
Control; it allows the system to maintain a nearly constant fan speed without the need for additional
control algorithms in the fan drive controller. In this example, representing an engine lugging condition
(engine speed change of 20%), there was no significant reduction in fan speed.
To prevent premature wear, it is imperative that only clean fluid enters the pump and hydraulic circuit. A
filter capable of controlling the fluid cleanliness to class 22/18/13 (per ISO 4406-1999) or better, under
normal operating conditions, is recommended. At initial start up, the system can be at Class 25/22/17 but
should not be run at high speed or pressure until the Class 22/18/13 is achieved through filtration. Since
the filter must be changed at regular intervals, the filter housing should be located in an accessible area.
Appropriate filter change intervals may be determined by test or by gauges indicating excessive pressure
drop across the filter element.
For more information refer to Design Guideline for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness, Technical Information
520L0467.
Operating Temperatures
With Buna seals and normal operating conditions, the system temperature should not exceed 82 °C [180
°F] except for short periods to 93 °C [200 °F]. With optional Viton elastomer, the system may be operated
at continuous temperatures up to 107°C [225°F] without damage to the hydraulic components.
Caution
Operation in excess of 107 °C [225 °F] may cause external leakage or premature unit failure.
Fluids
A mineral based fluid is recommended that includes additives to resist corrosion, oxidation and foaming.
The oil should have a maximum viscosity commensurate with system pressure drop and pump suction
pressures. Since the fluid serves as a system lubricant, as well as transmitting power, careful selection of
the fluid is important for proper operation and satisfactory life of the hydraulic components. Hydraulic
Technical Information

Installation Guidelines
fluids should be changed at appropriate intervals determined by test, supplier, or by change in color, or
odor, of the fluid.
Every 10°C [18°F] rise in continuous reservoir temperature over 80°C [176 °F] decreases the life of the oil
by ½.
