  • Mechanical Slip Failsafe System For A Heavy-Duty Multi-Speed Fan Clutch
    Publication number: 20140001005
    Abstract: A failsafe system for a heavy-duty multi-speed clutch includes a thermal valve coupled within a clutch pressure tube orifice circuit protecting a clutch pack from heat degradation. When oil temperature of the clutch reaches a level where thermal degradation can occur, the thermal valve allows flow into a clutch piston system at a maximum operating pressure, thereby engaging a clutch drive and cooling the clutch to a safe condition.
