Maintenance Matters Horton Introduces the Modulator™ RCV250 Fully Variable Fan Drive Lighter, simpler and more efficient H orton presents the Modulator™ RCV250 Fully Variable Fan Drive, a more efficient engine cooling solution for global applications. It is an integrated belt-driven fan drive of lighter, compact design, engineered to turn larger fans that require higher torque. The Modulator RCV250's variable operation reduces fan noise, increases fuel efficiency and available horsepower. Its innovative design and lower parts count result in reduced initial, replacement and maintenance costs when compared to a viscous fan drive and drive hub combination. At the end of its life cycle, the product can be returned to Horton for remanufacturing—a plus for the environment. The Modulator RCV250 is compatible with Horton's fan technology, including WindMaster® Revolution Highefficiency, Hybridflow Fans. The new fan drive is directly controlled and managed by the engine's electronic control unit (ECU). It can be combined with Horton's Di Controller for precision cooling. "The Modulator RCV250 Fully Variable Fan Drive is engineered to meet the increased cooling and airflow requirements of today's hotter-running engines," says Dave / OWNER OPERATOR/ SEPTEMBER 2013 / / 42 OO 0913 text.indd 42 8/7/13 8:33 AM
