Abstract
A vehicle cooling system is provided having a heat exchanger, a cooling fan, and a fan shroud. The vehicle cooling system has a variable cooling fan immersion system that uses a control system and a variable cooling fan immersion depth adjustment mechanism to control the percentage of cooling fan immersion into the space enclosed by the fan shroud. The variable cooling fan immersion system is used to maximize the efficiency of a variable pitch cooling fan, a variable speed cooling fan drive, or both.
