"Proven fuel economy, low noise and reduced maintenance make
BorgWarner's Cool Logic fan drives a smart solution for truck fleet
owners," said Dan CasaSanta,
President and General Manager, BorgWarner Thermal Systems. "Cool
Logic fan drives have been offered as an option since their
introduction in 2007. We are pleased that Mack is now selecting our
premium cooling technology as standard equipment on all Granite,
Titan, and Pinnacle model trucks."
Responding to signals from the engine control module thousands
of times per minute, Cool Logic fan drives electronically vary fan
speed to provide consistent, precise temperature control that
automatically adjusts to load and road grades. The highly reliable
and responsive wet-friction clutch design reduces engine drag,
delivering more horsepower and greater fuel economy compared with
traditional on/off or two-speed clutch systems. Its actuation logic
system delivers quiet operation to increase cabin comfort and
reduce driver fatigue. In addition to fuel savings, Cool Logic fan
drives extend the life of the entire cooling system, including the
radiator and charge air cooler, and decrease wear on serpentine
belt components.
