AKG and Horton Combine Technologies to Introduce an Optimized Cooling System
System includes AKG's Deep-Core Heat Exchangers and Horton's WindMaster® Revolution Fan
MEBANE, N.C. - AKG has teamed up with Horton to introduce a combined-technology, advanced cooling system. This improved cooling solution incorporates Horton's WindMaster® Revolution High-Efficiency, Hybrid-Flow Fan with AKG's Aluminum Bar-Plate Deep-Core Heat Exchanger Technology.
The AKG/WindMaster Revolution System offers lower total cost, the ability to eliminate remote-mounted coolers, higher overall efficiency for fuel savings, lower operating noise, greater heat transfer capabilities, and easier maintenance with a single-plane cooling solution. This cooling solution has a standardized package design with a bar-plate construction that makes customized systems for multiple applications. The system fits in a smaller space and emits significantly lower fan noise, while drawing less horsepower for greater efficiency.
As part of the system, the WindMaster Revolution® High-Efficiency, Hybrid-Flow Fan is optimized to move air more efficiently around the engine and through the under-hood compartment. This provides the highest efficiency of cooling available with the lowest operating noise. The fan is available in two sizes: a 550-mm nylon 6 version and a 750-mm welded-aluminum version.
Durably constructed, the lineup of AKG Aluminum Bar-Plate Deep-Core Heat Exchangers offers space efficiency, lower installation costs, consistent quality and high performance.
"This innovative technology makes the AKG/WindMaster Revolution Cooling System an ideal airflow solution to meet the intense demands of EPA 10, Euro VI and Tier 4 engines," says Rob Countiss, manager of engineering and marketing at AKG. "AKG and Horton can provide a customized package with low to no tooling costs to meet OEM-specific applications. The new system is flexible enough to be designed around a traditional engine-driven fan or can be packaged with a hydraulic motor."
