NOTES
Nomenclature Change: During the fourth quarter of 2008, the 325D and 330D
nomenclature changed The 325D became the 329D and the 330D became the 336D for most arrangements.
The exceptions are as follows:
- The nomenclature for the 325D MH and 330D MH did not change.
- The nomenclature for the 325D FM and 330D FM did not change.
- The 325D HD HW did not change into 329D HD HW This model is being discontinued However, the 330D HD HW changed to the 336D HD HW.
Trang 5- Visconic demand fan system (320D, 321D, 323D, 324D, 325D, 328D and 329D): Thevisconic demand fan system uses a viscous coupling between the engine mounted, beltdriven fan drive hub and the fan assembly
NOTE: The cooling fan viscous coupling is sometimes called the fan clutch A fan
clutch is a thermostatically-controlled device When the engine is cool or even at
normal operating temperature, the fan clutch partially disengages the engine's
mechanically-driven cooling fan This decoupling saves power since the engine does not have to fully drive the fan.
If engine temperature rises above the fan clutch's engagement temperature setting, the fan becomes fully engaged, When the fan clutch is fully engaged, the fan draws a
higher volume of ambient air through the radiator, which in turn serves to maintain or lower the engine coolant temperature to an acceptable level

Trang 6HYDRAULIC DEMAND FAN SYSTEM
The hydraulic demand fan system is made up of a fan motor and fan pump to cool the hydraulicoil, engine radiator, fuel cooler, and the ATAAC
The electronically controlled, variable displacement, piston fan pump is driven off of the mainhydraulic system drive pump The fan pump flow output is controlled by the angle of theswashplate
A solenoid on the fan pump receives a PWM signal from the Machine ECM to control thepump swashplate
When the machine is running, the hydraulic oil temperature sender and the engine coolanttemperature sensor sends signals to the Engine ECM The Engine ECM then sends this
information to the Machine ECM The Machine ECM picks up the hydraulic temperaturethrough the monitor

Trang 7The Machine ECMs interpret the information from these inputs to send a PWM signal to thefan pump solenoid to control the angle of the pump swashplate to control the pump flow.
A higher temperature input will cause the Machine ECM to send a reduced PWM signal to thefan pump solenoid The reduced signal causes the pump to upstroke to increase pump flow,which increases the speed of the fan for more cooling capacity
Trang 8The variable displacement fan pump is driven off of the drive pump, which is part of the mainpump group (2)
The pump control valve group (3) features a pressure control solenoid (4), which is controlled
by the Engine ECM
The pump control valve group has two adjustment screws:
- The upper screw, next to the pump control solenoid, is below the cap (5) This screw isused to adjust the pump control spool
- The lower screw (6), below the pump control valve group, is used to adjust the pressurecontrol spool
The reservoir supply line (7) is below the fan pump housing, while the pump supply line (8) tothe motor is above the housing
NOTE: In most cases, the two adjustment screws should not be used The solenoid can
be calibrated through Cat ET or the monitor to correctly set the fan pump control.
Trang 9The 330D/336D engine fan (1) is hydraulically driven by a fixed displacement motor (2)
The variable displacement fan pump supplies oil to rotate the fan motor Fan speed is varied toprovide optimized cooling The optimum fan speed is calculated using engine coolant
temperature and hydraulic oil temperature
Case drain oil from the fan motor is combined with the case drain oil from the swing and travelmotors Return oil from the fan motor is sent to the return filters and into the hydraulic tank
An internal makeup valve in the fan motor is used to prevent cavitation when flow from the fanpump stops
The direction of the engine fan can be reversed on machines equipped with the reversible fanoption The fan motor rotation can be changed with the monitor The reversal of the fan motor
is used to clear debris and dust from the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler

Trang 11This illustration is a schematic of the fan system with the fan at maximum controlled pressure,resulting in maximum controlled fan speed
The hydraulic demand fan is standard on the 330D/336D Hydraulic Excavators The fan is part
of the hydraulic system, but it is controlled by the Machine ECM
The intake manifold air temperature sensor and the coolant temperature sensor are inputs intothe Engine ECM The Engine ECM provides information to the Machine ECM from these twosensors The Machine ECM also receives information from hydraulic temperature sensorthrough the monitor
The Machine ECM evaluates these three sensor inputs for controlling the fan A target speedfor the cooling fan is assigned for each engine speed based on the output of the various
temperature sensors The target values for the maximum fan speeds are assigned by specificsoftware designed for the 330D/336D machine models
The Machine ECM sends a PWM signal to the fan pump proportional solenoid to control theflow from the pump The pump flow is directed to the fan motor, to rotate the motor, whichcauses the fan to turn to provide engine cooling

MAXIMUM CONTROLLED FAN SPEED
Trang 12When engine coolant and/or hydraulic oil temperatures are high, the fan speed is increased Ifthe temperatures are low, the fan speed is decreased The higher the ambient temperature, thehigher the fan speed, as well.
For high temperature readings the Machine ECM sends the minimum software controlled PWMsignal to the fan pump pressure control solenoid to upstroke the hydraulic pump to increase thepump flow
When maximum pump flow is sent to the fan motor, the fan rotates at the maximum softwarecontrolled rpm
Cat ET or the monitor can be used to check or calibrate the fan speed Refer to the 330D/336DTest and Adjust Manual for the calibration procedures
Maximum mechanical pump pressure and maximum fan speed (high pressure cut-off) can beachieved by disconnecting the electrical connection to the solenoid or by using Cat ET to turnOFF the fan control (Engine ECM/Configuration screen)
If communication is lost between the Engine ECM and the fan pump pressure control solenoid,the fan will default to the maximum mechanical pressure setting (high pressure cutoff) Thisaction results in a higher system pressure This pressure is higher than the maximum pressurecontrolled through the software The fan speed is also higher than the maximum fan speednormally controlled by the software
The makeup valve in the fan motor is used to prevent cavitation when flow from the fan pumpstops
Trang 13This movement blocks most of the pump output oil in the pump control spool spring chamberfrom draining to tank through the case drain passage, which causes the pump control spoolspring chamber to become pressurized
The force of the spring at the top of the pump control spool, plus the pressure of the oil, is nowgreater than the oil pressure at the bottom of the pump control spool The pump control spoolmoves down, blocking pump output oil from entering the signal passage to the large actuatorpiston in the pump The large actuator piston is open to drain around the pump control spool

MAXIMUM CONTROLLED FAN SPEED
Trang 14The bias spring and the small actuator move the pump swashplate to an increased angle, whichcauses the pump to UPSTROKE This condition provides a controlled maximum flow of oil tothe fan motor and creates the maximum controlled fan pump system pressure, which results inthe maximum controlled fan speed If the solenoid fails (no current to the solenoid), the pumpgoes to maximum displacement
With no current to the pressure control solenoid, the pump control spool (high pressure cut-off)will limit the maximum pressure and the fan speed to its maximum rpm This state can beachieved by disconnecting the fan pump control solenoid or by using Cat ET to turn the fancontrol OFF This procedure is required when making adjustments to the fan system pressuresettings
The mechanical high pressure cutoff is adjusted using the adjustment screw When the
adjustment screw is turned in (clockwise), it increases the force of the pressure control spoolspring, which increases the the pump pressure required to unseat the land of the upper pumpcontrol spool, thereby increasing maximum cutoff pressure
Maximum cutoff pressure will be lowered when the screw is turned out (counter-clockwise)
NOTE: The 330D/336D service manual currently does not provide test procedures for
checking the maximum and minimum fan speeds outside the control of the software.
The D8T and D9T Track-type Tractor uses a similar cooling fan system The D8T and D9T test procedures for checking the maximum and minimum fan speeds can be used as reference, however, the specifications will be different A tee for a pressure tap will also have to be installed in the line to the fan motor.
The pump control spool is also shown as being adjustable Increasing the spring setting would create higher system pressures and higher fan speeds for a given PWM signal to the pressure control solenoid and vice versa for decreasing the spring setting If the
spool is adjusted a pressure control solenoid calibration should be done to compensate for the change to the pump control spring.
Trang 15This illustration is a schematic of the hydraulic fan system with the fan at minimum speed
When the Machine ECM sends the maximum software controlled PWM signal to the fan pumppressure control solenoid, the pump destrokes to the minimum swashplate angle At the
minimum swashplate angle the pump produces the minimum controlled flow resulting in thefan turning at the minimum fan speed
When the fan pump pressure control solenoid is at the maximum software controlled PWMsignal, the pressure control spool is unseated by the solenoid, allowing some of pump supplyoil to drain to the tank This action reduces the pressure in the spring chamber of the pumpcontrol spool and the pump control spool shifts up due to the higher pump supply pressure
When the pump control spool moves up, pump flow is directed to the large actuator As
pressure builds in the large actuator, the large actuator overcomes the bias spring and the smallactuator piston to the destroke pump With the pump destroked, oil flow to the fan motor isreduced which reduces the fan speed

MINIMUM CONTROLLED FAN SPEED
Trang 16This illustration shows the fan control valve with the fan pump at minimum displacement
If the input temperatures are below a certain value, the Machine ECM sends an increased PWMsignal to the pressure control solenoid to reduce the pump flow The solenoid plunger and pinpush the pressure control spool down
With the pressure control spool pushed down, the spring chamber above the pump control spool
is open to case drain around the seat on the lower end of the upper pressure control spool
There is a pressure drop across the orifice above the pump control spool The system pressure
is now greater than the pump control spool spring and the pressure above the pump controlspool The supply pressure pushes the pump control spool up to block oil in the signal passage
to the actuator piston from going to drain
The pump control spool now allows pump supply oil to flow to the large actuator piston Theflow causes an increase in pressure in the large actuator piston The large actuator overcomesthe combined forces of the bias spring and small actuator to move the swashplate toward
minimum angle Pump flow decreases and therefore fan speed decreases

Trang 17With cold oil or at cold start-ups, the Machine ECM PWM signal to the pressure controlsolenoid is at the maximum The pump control spool moves up and supply pressure is sent tothe large actuator piston to move the swashplatetoward minimum angle The large actuatorstops moving when the vent hole through the large actuator piston is open to case drain Thepump flow is decreased to minimum to reduce the fan speed to minimum
Trang 18The Machine ECM will automatically activate the fan reversing solenoid valve at
predetermined intervals, if the machine is equipped with the optional reversing fan Fan
reversing duration may be re-configured using Cat ET or through the monitor
When the reversing solenoid valve is energized, pilot oil is directed to the reversing spool Thereversing spool shifts causing the flow of oil to the fan motor to be reversed The fan motorrotates in the opposite direction
The relief valve opens momentarily whenever there are any pressure spikes in the system Therelief valve also opens when the fan is first commanded to change directions (either reverse orforward) The momentum of the fan prevents the fan motor from immediate directional changewhen the flow of oil is reversed The relief valve helps dissipate excess pressure that maydamage the system during a directional change

Trang 19Cat ET Screens for the Hydraulic Cooling Demand Fan
Using Cat ET, the status of the fan control system can be monitored
The system status information can be helpful when troubleshooting the cooling system
Trang 20After connecting Cat ET, go to the configuration screens
Under Machine Control, open up the Machine Attachments parameters to view the four coolingfan parameters
The Engine Cooling Map parameter can be changed on all machines, but is not recommended.This parameter requires special factory passwords to change the parameter
If the machine is equipped with a reversing fan then the Engine Reversing Feature InstallationStatus and the Engine Reverse Operation Time can also be changed
The Engine Reversing Feature Installation Status is used to change from "Installed" to
"Disabled or Not Installed."
The Engine Reverse Operation Time allows for changing the length of time the fan reversesduring a reversing cycle
Trang 21The Standard cooling map is currently not being used by any of the factories.
Factory passwords are required to change the cooling fan map for the 330D/336D
NOTE: The technician should never be required to change the cooling map This
parameter is for factory use only At the first release of the 330D the software did allow the technician to change the cooling map without a factory password, but new software was sent out to prevent this from happening.
Trang 22The configuration screen allows the technician to change from "Installed" to "Not Installed" forreversing feature for the cooling fan
If a reversing fan attachment is not installed on the machine, changing this parameter will have
no affect on the fan operation
On machines equipped with a reversing fan attachment, this parameter allows the technician toturn off the reversing feature if required
Trang 23On the Override Parameter screen there are three cooling fan parameters that can be overridden
Parameter overrides can be used to perform various system tests that may or not be found in theService Manual
One suggested use for the Engine Coolant Fan Sol Current Override is to enter a value of 0% todetermine the maximum mechanical system pressure and 100% to determine the minimumpressure These two values are not part of one any of the fan cooling maps
NOTE: The 330D/336D service manual currently does not provide test procedures for
checking the maximum and minimum fan speeds outside the control of the software.
The D8T Track-type Tractor uses a similar cooling fan system The D8T test procedures for checking the maximum and minimum fan speeds can be used as reference, however, the specifications will be different A tee for a pressure tap will also have to be installed
in the line to the fan motor.
