model

equipped

air

conditioning

Tem
coupling
is

a

type
of
fan

coupling
which
is

provided
with
a

temperature
control

system

The
conventional

coupling
always

slips
the
fan
at

a

high

speed
under
a

constant

ratio

regardless
of
the

engine

cooling

requirement

The

slipping
ratio
of
the
Tem

coupling
however
is

properly
changed

with
the

cooling
requirement

ON
denotes
that

cooling
is

required
and
the
fan

operates
up
to

about
2

900rpm
When

high
cooling
is

not

required
during
cold
season
with

the

engine
warmed

up
etc
the

oper

ation

is

placed
under

condition

and
the
fan

slips
at
about
2

050

rpm

The
coiled
bimetal
thermostat

installed
on
the
front
center

portion
of

the
Tem

coupling
detects

temperature

of
air

passing

through
the
radiator

The
air

temperature
is

directly

relative

to
the

engine
coolant

tempera

ture

and
the
inside
slide
valve

is

opened
or

closed
as

required
and
thus

the
ON
OFF
control
is

performed

When
the
air

temperature
rises

the

bimetal
is

expanded
and
the
valve
is

opened
silicone

oil
is
forwarded

to
the

groove
that

transmits

the

When

the
