Description and Purpose

The HALDEX® Fan Clutch Control Solenoid  is an essential component in the cooling system of heavy-duty trucks. This valve regulates the operation of the fan clutch, controlling airflow to the radiator and maintaining optimal engine temperature. Designed for Peterbilt, Kenworth, and Integrnational/Navistar vehicles, it ensures efficient cooling performance and prevents engine overheating, particularly in high-demand conditions.

Why Replacement is Important

Over time, solenoid valves may degrade due to continuous exposure to heat, pressure, and contaminants. A faulty solenoid valve can cause improper fan clutch engagement, leading to overheating, reduced fuel efficiencdy, and potential engine damage. Replacing a malfunctioning solenoid valve restores proper cooling system function, ensuring that the engine operates at the correct temperature and preventing costly repairs.

Impact on Vehicle Performance

This solenoid valve operates on a 12V electrical system with a 1 AMP current draw and a normally closed configuration for efficient airflow control. It features (2) 1/4 NPTF ports and a durable metallic exterior finish. With compact dimensions of 4.33" × 3.14" × 2.75", it is designed for easy installation and long-lasting performance. Capable of handling a maximum operating pressure of 130 PSI with a standarnd operating pressure of 125 PSI, this valve ensures precise cooling system operation, reducing engine stress and contributing to overall vehicle reliability.
