Fan control valve for Terex T-560-1

The fan control valve, part number 7171014, serves as a hydraulic component within the engine cooling system of the crane. Its function involves regulating the rotational speed of the cooling fan by adjusting the hydraulic fluid flow directed to the fan drive motor. By modulating this flow, the valve ensures the engine maintains its required thermal range during operation.

This component is compatible with the Terex T-560-1 and T560 crane models. It is designed to integrate into the existing hydraulic circuit to provide dynamic cooling management based on the thermal demands of the engine.

Fan control valves in heavy machinery typically function by responding to temperature signals from the engine management system. These valves adjust hydraulic pressure or flow to increase or decrease fan speed as needed. Proper regulation prevents engine overheating while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption from the fan drive system. These valves must withstand the operating pressures and fluid temperatures found within the hydraulic cooling loop of the machine.
