But if the bypass then experiences a flow restriction like my fan or a filter or cooler it creates back pressure which applies brakes. I learned this from reading about GM trucks where people put in a cooler on the return line from the brake booster. When they switched to the steering return...

Turns out this isn’t true, although it’s not logical. Fans must be close to the radiator, despite being shrouded. 1” seems to be the ideal and more than 2” performance suffers a lot.

Okay well you can keep your flow chart if you’re still butt hurt about my lack of literacy but I fail to follow your logic on several levels in this case. I guess you want me to spend a few hours looking for the hydraulic fan operation section in the TM? Sorry to bother you?

Ya ford Jeep Lexus and others all used hydraulic fan setups on their cars but they are all gassers and maybe not up to the task however I’m still tempted to try one anyway and see. My gut tells me that a pusher bus setup is sized several times more than what my little non tow hmmwv will ever...

If you put a restriction in the wrong place you’ll end up driving with the brakes on WISE GUYS. Based on what the alpha redesign required it seems that about 9k cf/m is the goal flow rate minimum. This seems to consume about 3gal per minute of fluid which is about half my pump output so I...

That’s what I thought. Any idea how that happens?

New to these systems and I’m wanting to find a way to have hydraulic pressure from the system without messing up the hydroboost. My pump is a higher flow type ZF although I don’t have solid numbers. I want to explore the hydraulic fan idea. does the system work on constant pressure or does it...
