Four primary power transmission subsystems work together in a wheel loader: the transmission system, the work function system, the steering system, and also the thermal management system. Assessing any one of those without considering how it impacts the rest of the machine design could result in poor car performance. On...
Achieving Engine Performance Better in Cold Environments
For construction equipment operating in cold environment while maintaining acceptable engine operating temperatures may become debatable. In these situations, reduce the minimum fan speed could be of significant value. Even when the fan drive is operating in a very low speed, it may be hard to get sufficient heat in...
