  • Hydraulic Reversible Fan — Product Features

    The hydraulic reversible fan is a complete air-moving assembly — blades, hub and hydraulic actuator — built for engine and cooler cooling on mobile machinery. The blade angle is turned by the hydraulic circuit, so the air flow reverses on demand and the radiator core is blown clean without stopping the machine.

    Blades are moulded in PAG, in conductive PAGAS where static discharge has to be avoided, or cast in aluminium ADC12 for high-temperature duties. Each fan is assembled and balanced before shipment, and on-site blades, hubs and actuators are supplied as service parts so an existing machine can be kept running.

    Key Features

    • Hydraulically reversed airflow — the radiator or cooler core is cleaned in place while the machine works

    • Diameter range 450-1250 mm with 6 or 8 blades, matched to the fan ring of the existing machine

    • Blade materials: PAG, conductive PAGAS and die-cast aluminium ADC12

    • Supplied as a complete assembly (blades, hub, actuator) or as service parts

    • Balanced as a complete fan before shipment to keep vibration and bearing load low

This page covers the Hydraulic Reversible Fan blade and impeller side — replacing a blade set, matching the hub and reproducing the original duty point.

  • Technical Support

    Support starts before the blade is quoted. The points below are the ones that decide whether an Hydraulic Reversible Fan fits an existing fan or a new cooling pack, and they are the same checks used for OEM programs and retrofit work.

    Selecting the Blade for the Duty Point

    • Diameter — set by the fan ring or shroud that is available, since this fixes the achievable air volume at the working speed

    • Airflow and static pressure — the duty point the fan has to meet at the working speed

    • Blade count — raised for pressure and lower airflow, lowered for maximum air volume and lower blade-passing noise

    • Material — decided by the maximum air temperature and by whether static discharge has to be avoided

    • Hub and shaft interface — confirmed before the blade set is released for production

    Selection follows that order because changing a later step normally means going back to the first: blade count and hub rating both limit what a given diameter can carry at the working speed.

    Fitting and Retrofit Support

    A replacement does not have to match a drawing, only the interface that already exists on the machine:

    • Connection holes and bushings are machined to match the existing hub, so the blade set can be fitted

    • The blade count and blade type of the original fan are confirmed, which preserves the original airflow and noise level

    • The hub family is verified against the shaft, including the taper bush where one is used

    • The assembled impeller is balanced before shipment, so no balancing rig is needed on site

    Balancing and Test

    Every impeller is balanced on a hand laser balancing machine before shipment. On a large-diameter blade this matters more than on a small one, because imbalance grows with diameter and blade mass and shows up as vibration, fastener loosening and bearing wear. Balance settings and blade count are recorded so a later replacement can be matched to the same condition.

    Customization

    Blade count, blade profile, pitch setting, hub family and material can all be fixed for an OEM program, and an existing fan can be reviewed when the cooling pack or the ventilation duty is revised:

    • Blade count and pitch angle set to the required airflow and pressure

    • Hub and shaft interface matched to the existing drive

    • Material selected against temperature and atmosphere (PAG, conductive PAGAS, ALU)

    • Replacement programs where only the blades are renewed and the hub stays in service

    Documentation and Material Records

    Material and test records are available for projects that require them: certificate of analysis for the material and for the finished PAGAS blade, UV resistance and fire behaviour reports for PAG, and explosion-proof type test reports where conductive blades are used in a classified atmosphere. Certificate and report copies are provided on request rather than published as current certifications.

  • Customer Cases — Where the Hydraulic Reversible Fan Is Used

    The Hydraulic Reversible Fan is specified where a large air volume has to be moved continuously with moderate pressure: applications where a large slow impeller is more efficient and quieter than a smaller fast fan. The duties below are the ones this blade is normally ordered for.

    Typical Applications

    • Engine radiator and cooler cooling on tractors and harvesters

    • In-place core cleaning on combines, sprayers and handlers

    • Construction machinery: excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, skid steers

    • Replacement of a worn hydraulic reversible fan on an existing machine

    The matrix is a starting point rather than a final specification: diameter is confirmed against the installation, then blade count and material are fixed against the duty point and the air temperature.

    Retrofit and Replacement Cases

    Most orders for this blade are replacements rather than new fans, and they follow the same pattern:

    • A large fan in a cooling tower or moving-air unit fails, and the hub and shaft are still serviceable

    • The original diameter and blade count are confirmed from the fan records or measured on site

    • Connection holes and bushings are machined to the existing hub so the blade set fits without modification

    • The replacement impeller is balanced before shipment and the fan returns to service without on-site balancing

    • Where the whole hub has to be renewed, the hub is matched to the existing shaft instead

    Because the blade family is unchanged in production, a fan commissioned years ago can be re-bladed to the same airflow and noise condition, which keeps a fleet of machines on one specification.

    Field Installation

    Installation and commissioning support covers the practical points: blade angle set at assembly, hub clamping and fastener checks, and confirmation that the fan reaches its duty point after the machine is back in service. Field installation for this blade is shown in the product video on the Product Features tab.

  • Company Profile — UTEK-DELE Axial Fan Manufacturer

    UTEK-DELE (Changzhou Dele Ventilation and Heat Dissipation Technology Co., Ltd.) designs and manufactures axial fan blades, impellers and complete fan assemblies. The range covers moulded PAG and conductive PAGAS blades, die-cast aluminium blades, hubs from H-6 to H-12 and the Z and W families, and finished impellers from 180 mm up to 2200 mm for engine cooling, cooling towers and industrial ventilation.

    Production, balancing and inspection are carried out in house, which is what makes a replacement blade or impeller behave like the part it replaces: the same blade geometry, the same hub interface and the same balancing record are reproducible years after the original fan was built.

    Factory Showcase

    Blade moulding, hub machining, assembly and packing are handled under one roof, so a fan specification can be reviewed end to end before it is released for production.

  • Service Support

    Support covers the whole life of the fan rather than the shipment alone: duty review before ordering, fitting and replacement advice after delivery, and the documentation needed to keep an installation compliant.

    Because blades, hubs and complete impellers are made in the same workshop, a spare part can be reproduced against the original blade count, hub family and pitch setting — the values that decide whether a replacement behaves like the fan it goes into.

    Packaging and Shipping

    Blades and hubs are packed so that the blade profile and the hub bore arrive undamaged, then crated or palletised for the transport mode agreed for the order.

    Ordering, Replacement and Documentation

    A replacement is normally quoted from a few details rather than a drawing:

    • Diameter and blade count of the fan being replaced, plus the hub family if it is known

    • Connection holes and bushings — these are machined to match the existing hub so the part can be fitted

    • Working speed and duty point, so the pitch angle can be set before shipment

    • Environment: maximum air temperature and whether a conductive blade material is required

    • Documentation for material and test records (certificate of analysis, UV, fire and explosion-proof reports) where the project requires it

    Where only the blades are worn, a blade set can be supplied against the existing hub instead of a complete impeller, and where the shaft interface has changed, the hub can be matched to the new drive. Technical questions are answered against the fan records so the answer stays valid for the whole machine fleet.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The questions below are answered for this product; the same support applies to its spare blades and hubs.

    How does a hydraulic reversible fan work?

    The blade angle is turned by a hydraulic actuator, so the fan can push air in either direction. Reversing the flow blows dust and chaff out of the radiator or cooler core while the machine keeps working.

    What diameter range is available?

    Blades are built across 450-1250 mm with 6 or 8 blades; the exact size is quoted against the fan ring and shaft of the machine.

    Which materials are used for the blades?

    PAG (-40 °C to 110 °C), conductive PAGAS (-30 °C to 100 °C) and die-cast aluminium ADC12 (up to 150 °C, short-term 300 °C for 2 hours).

    Is it supplied as a complete fan or as parts?

    Both. Complete assemblies (blades, hub, actuator) are supplied for new builds, and individual blades, hubs and actuators are supplied as service parts.

    Can it replace a fan from another manufacturer?

    Yes. Diameter, blade count, blade angle and the mounting interface are confirmed from the existing machine, and the replacement is balanced before shipment.

    Which machines is it used on?

    Tractors, harvesters, combines, sprayers, handlers, excavators, wheel loaders, dozers and skid steers — wherever a radiator needs to be cleaned without stopping work.
