Abstract: Embodiments of a hydraulic reservoir cooler include a backward curve centrifugal fan located rearward of a vented front cover of the cooler, the centrifugal fan having a center point “c” and a radius “r”; and a core area including fins and a manifold in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid tank, the core area being located between the vented front cover and the backward curve centrifugal fan and including: a straight vertical portion extending in height less than an uppermost upper end of the centrifugal fan; a straight horizontal portion located above the uppermost upper end of the centrifugal fan; and a curved portion connecting the straight vertical and horizontal portions, the curved portion having a center point “C” and a radius “R”; where C is located above c and R is greater than r. The cooler may be adapted for use with an agricultural pumper truck.

Abstract: A proportional control fluid actuator that is used as a positioning device in applications such as a hydraulic directional control valve. The activating device has a cylinder body attachable to a valve body and has a bore carrying a piston that is coaxially secured to an end of a valve spool. The device is provided with spaced openings in the cylinder body that communicate with the bore therein to introduce fluid to act on opposite sides of the piston. Factory pre-compressed spring means are provided for normally urging the piston and spool to a center position. Since the areas of the fluid pressure applied on both sides of the piston are different (due to a spool on one side of the piston), two pre-compressed springs are used to compensate the area difference to achieve a proportional movement of the spool.
