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.

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 to outline basic nomenclature and terminology in common use for engine charge air coolers, related charge air cooling system components, and charge air operating and performance parameters. An engine charge air cooler is a heat exchanger used to cool the charge air of an internal combustion engine after it has been compressed by an exhaust gas driven turbocharger, an engine driven turbocharger, or a mechanically or electrically driven blower. The use of a charge air cooler allows increased engine horsepower output, and may reduce emission levels and improve fuel economy through a more complete combustion due to the increased air density available. Typical cooling media includes the engine's coolant, ambient air, or an external water or coolant source.

The scope of the specification is limited to heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturers, fan suppliers, and end users. Standard mounting patterns are given for fans up to 2000 mm rotating diameter. Passenger car and light-duty fans were not addressed because committee members issuing the specification felt that standards for these fans could be better addressed by personnel working in the market segments which use those fans. Rationale for issuance of the specification is cost savings through reduction of part numbers and inventory. Failure to comply with this specification will result in the need to release and carry in inventory parts of identical blade geometry and construction, but with different mounting patterns.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to encourage the standardization of mounting patterns for engine cooling fans as new engines are designed and developed in SI metric units. It is specifically not the objective of the specification to address the soft metric conversion of existing mounting patterns on engines designed in English units.

Passenger car and light-duty fans were not addressed because committee members issuing the specification felt that standards for these fans could be better addressed by personnel working in the market segments which use those fans. See Figure 1 and Table 1. Rationale for issuance of the specification is cost savings through reduction of part numbers and inventory.

The objective of this glossary is to establish uniform definitions of parts and terminology for engine cooling systems. Components included are all those through which engine coolant is circulated: water pump, engine oil cooler, transmission and other coolant-oil coolers, charge air coolers, core engine, thermostat, radiator, external coolant tanks, and lines connecting them.
