Fuel saving

Background

Regardless of which cooler supplier is chosen, all suppliers have to calculate with the most ‘unfavourable’ moment. In many cases these are ambient temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius or higher, 100% or 110% engine power and a contamination percentage of the cooler. This combination of worst-case scenarios boosts the required fan power to an average of between 5% and 10% of the motor’s mechanical shaft power. This simply means that the motor, regardless of whether mechanical power is taken, is loaded at 5 to 10% power by only the fan, even at temperatures many times colder than 45 degrees Celsius.

Solution

By making the fan temperature controlled with the OTE Controller (folder) and placing a few sensors, it is possible to make both existing (retrofit) and new coolers temperature controlled. With the in-house developed OTE controller, most types of drives can be controlled. Electric, hydraulic and engine driven coolers can be converted, enabling enormous noise and fuel savings.

Smart use of residual heat

In addition to the unnecessary fan power at low temperatures, the motor water is also provided with large amounts of heat that can be usefully used for other applications such as central heating or auxiliary heating of other engines. The rule here is that the higher the temperature, the more can be recovered. The combination of heat recovery and the OTE Controller will give the highest possible efficiency with minimal adjustments.
