FAN OPTIMIZATION BASED ON AMBIENT AND RADIATOR OUTLET TEMPERATURES

DRIVE April 9, 2026
Source
Techniques for cooling a portion of a vehicle are discussed herein. A thermal management component may receive an ambient temperature proximate the vehicle. The vehicle may also receive a first coolant outlet temperature from a first radiator and a second coolant outlet temperature from a second radiator. In some examples, the first radiator may be located at a first end of the vehicle while the second radiator can be located at a second (and opposite) end of the vehicle. The thermal management component may determine a first cooling parameter for a first radiator fan proximate the first radiator and a second cooling parameter for a second radiator fan proximate the second radiator. Upon determining the first and/or second cooling parameter(s), the thermal management component may operate the first fan according to the first cooling parameter and the second fan according to the second cooling parameter.
