In my explorations I discovered a small company called Delta
Current Control Automotive Control Systems. Brian Baskin is the principal
of the company. You can view great information about the company, their
products and the technology on their website. Since the website provides
the technical specifics, there’s no need to go into great detail
in this article. Suffice it to say that the controller – a solid
state digital piece with only 3 large-wire connections varies the current
to the electric fan in order to control engine temperatures to within
+/- 3F of your desired set point. Set points are available from around
165F up to 220F in approximately 7F degree increments. It is an amazing
piece in terms of its precise control, its simple hookup and its ability
to get the air movement you need for low speed cooling while minimizing
wear and tear on the fan motors, the alternator and the charging system.
And, you are not using any more alternator “hp” than you have
to at any point in time. The system has special settings for under drive
pulleys, and can be set up to be triggered by your a/c system as well.
