Title: Method for operating a cooling fan module of a motor vehicle
Inventor: HEMANT BHAGWAT
IPC: F04D27/00
Filed: 2020-09-23
Abstract: A cooling fan module 2 of a vehicle has a fan motor 12 and fan wheel 14 and communicates with further components 4 (e.g. engine control unit, ECU) of the vehicle, ideally via a pulse width modulation (PWM) interface 6. When a communication fault occurs a first temperature ‘TC’ of the cooling fan module is determined, e.g. by a temperature sensor on a controller 8 of the module. A second temperature ‘TM’ of an engine compartment is estimated based upon the first temperature, ideally using a predetermined offset temperature (e.g. 15 degrees Celsius). The rotational speed of the fan motor is controlled using the second temperature via open loop or closed loop control. The control may compare the second temperature with a stored characteristic curve or table stored in non-volatile data memory and base control of the fan speed on the curve/table. By controlling fan speed based upon a predicted engine compartment temperature the cooling fan module saves energy over prior systems that run a fan at full speed during communications failure.
