3. PWM (PULSE WIDTH MODULATION) ELECTRIC FAN

OPERATION

1) Function

The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) high capacity electric fan is installed instead of electric condenser

fan to enhance the durability and controllability and reduce noise.

2) Mounting Location

3) PWM Electric Fan

(1) Advantages and Disadvantages of the PWM Electric Fan

Advantages

▶

Enhanced A/C performance: at low speed, at

idling, driving in city

Reduction of vibration/noise: fan activated by

PWM only when necessary

Reduction of engine consuming power

(V/Fan driving force) by 4 Hp - Cost saving

-

-

-

Disadvantage

▶

Poor engine cooling perfomance at low and

high rpm

-

4) PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Unit

It controls the time of the output voltage to control

the fan motor speed independently.

Internal functions

▶

Motor power shutting-off function when

overcurrent is applied

Adverse voltage prevention function

Detection function for the motor lock

Temperature detecting function: The electric

fan operates at FULL speed to cool down

the PWM unit when the interior temperature

of PWM unit is over 120~150°C.

Communication function when failing: The

fail signal is transmitted to the ECU when the

PWM unit is malfunctioning.

Soft start function: The motor speed is

gradually increased when the motor is

initially operated.

5) Shutting-off Condition of the A/C Compressor

Coolant temperature

▶

When coolant temperature is below 20°C or over 115°C, engine speed is below 650 rpm or

over 4500 rpm for 4 seconds after engine starting, abrupt acceleration and A/C refrigerant

pressure sensor detecting the followings

A/C compressor is turned off when the refrigerant pressure is below 2.0 kg/cm2 and then is

turned on when the refrigerant pressure is over 2.4 kg/cm2.

A/C compressor is turned off when the refrigerant pressure is over 30 kg/cm2 and then is turned

on when the refrigerant pressure is below 21.4 kg/cm2.
