Patent ID: 8550038

Claim:
A system, comprising: a genset including an engine, an AC generator operably connected to the engine, and a radiator coupled to the engine to receive heat from at least the engine; an electric variable speed fan having an outlet flow, wherein at least a portion of the outlet flow passes through the radiator; a programmable controller connected to the genset and the electric variable speed fan, the controller comprising: a genset identification module configured to interpret a genset identification parameter value of the genset from a plurality of genset identification parameter values; a cooling fan logic module configured to select a cooling algorithm in response to the genset identification parameter value from a predetermined set of cooling algorithms stored in a memory of the controller that are associated with respective ones of the plurality of genset identification parameter values; an operation conditions module configured to interpret at least one genset operating condition of the genset to implement the selected cooling algorithm; a cooling fan command module configured to provide a cooling fan command in response to the selected cooling algorithm and the at least one genset operating condition; and wherein the electric variable speed fan is responsive to the cooling fan command to provide the outlet flow.
