Abstract
The invention is a fan revolution control method for controlling a pump-motor system, by controlling the fan revolution speed of a cooling fan adapted to be rotated by a fan motor to cool cooling target fluids. The pump-motor system drives the fan motor by a hydraulic fluid fed from a fan pump driven by an engine. The pump-motor system is controlled so the fan revolution speed starts from the minimum fan revolution speed when the engine is started up; the minimum fan revolution speed is maintained for at least several seconds; after the elapse of several seconds, the fan revolution speed is gradually increased from the minimum fan revolution speed. The fan revolution speed reaches a target fan revolution speed over a period of at least several seconds. The method prevents generation of peak pressure or pressure hunting.
