This SAE Recommended Practice applies to engine coolant concentrate, ethylene glycol base, for use in automotive and light truck engine cooling systems.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to oil-to-water oil coolers installed on mobile or stationary equipment. Such oil coolers may be used for the purpose of cooling automatic transmission fluid, hydraulic system oil, retarder system fluid, etc. This document outlines the methods of procuring the test data to determine the operating characteristics of the oil cooling system and the interpretation of the results. For information regarding application testing of oil-to-air oil coolers for heat transfer performance, see SAE J1468.

This SAE Information Report is a source of information concerning the basic properties of engine coolants which are satisfactory for use in internal combustion engines. Engine coolant concentrate (antifreeze) must provide adequate corrosion protection, lower the freezing point, and raise the boiling point of the engine coolant. For additional information on engine coolants see ASTM D3306 and ASTM D4985.

It is necessary to identify and attempt to evaluate the characteristics of an application which can have an effect on fan durability. Failures almost always occur in fatigue, so careful attention should be paid to avoid resonance or forced vibration of the fan. This section considers vibrational inputs, fan natural frequencies, and operating speed as part of the initial structural integrity analysis. A fan application fact sheet (Table 1) is recommended as a form to communicate between user and fan supplier.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to Electric Drive Cooling Fan Assemblies used in Light Duty vehicle cooling systems (typically, passenger cars and light duty trucks). This document outlines the Electric Drive Cooling Fan Motor Mounting interface characteristics such that a common standard is possible.

Three levels of fan structural analysis are included in this practice: 1 Initial Structural Integrity 2 In-vehicle Testing 3 Durability Test Methods The Initial Structural Integrity section describes analytical and test methods used to predict potential resonance and, therefore, possible fatigue accumulation. The In-vehicle (or machine) section enumerates the general procedure used to conduct a fan strain gage test. Various considerations that may affect the outcome of strain gage data have been described for the user of this procedure to adapt/discard depending on the particular application. The Durability Test Methods section describes the detailed test procedures that may be used depending on type of fan, equipment availability, and end objective. Each of the previous levels builds upon information derived from the previous level. Engineering judgment is required as to the applicability of each level to a different vehicle environment or a new fan design.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the performance of Light Duty automotive electric engine cooling fans. These Electric Cooling Fan (ECF) Assemblies are purchased by Light Duty Truck and Passenger Car OEM’s from suppliers. They are purchased as complete assemblies, consisting of the fan(s), motor(s), and shroud (see Figure 1); this Recommended Practice will only consider such complete assemblies. Some purchased assemblies using brush-type motors may also include control devices such as power resistors or pulse width modulation (PWM) electronics for speed control. In the case of brushless motor technology, the controller is an integral part of the motor where it also performs the commutation process electronically. The performance measurement would include fan output in terms of airflow and pressure, and fan input electric power in terms of voltage and current.

The technique outlined in this SAE Recommended Practice was developed as part of an overall program for determining and evaluating fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks and buses. It is recommended that the specific operating conditions be carefully reviewed on the basis of actual installation data. Cooling requirements are affected by all heat exchangers that are cooled by the fan-drive system. These may include radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, or oil coolers. Because of the variation in size, shape, configuration, and mountings available in cooling fans and fan-drive systems, specific test devices have not been included. Using known power/speed relationships for a given fan, this procedure can be used to calculate the fan-drive system’s power consumption for engine cooling systems using fixed-ratio, speed modulating, and on-off fan drives. This power consumption may then be used in determining engine net power per SAE J1349.
