Cooling systems of the truck engine require a belt for power and this is why fan belts should be applied in these engines. Fan belts can provide power to drive the engine’s cooling system, including the air conditioner, radiator fan, and water pump. Functional fan belts can drive the cooling systems by distributing coolant to the truck engine as well as cooling the radiator. By contrast, if the fan belt does not work effectively as it was designed, then the engine might not be properly cooled, which will lead to the result of overheating and much higher maintenance costs.
Fan belts are usually made in the form of A-type V-Shape belts, which perform as necessary spare parts for the truck engine especially driving on the road. As a matter of fact, a lot of people do not often leave spare fan belts on the engine due to the reason of delaying replenishment. In this circumstance, trucks might break down because of the broken fan belt and spare parts shortage.
What’s more, the fan belt is connected to the crankshaft belt pulley, water pump belt pulley, and generator belt pulley, which can drive the water pump, fan blade, and charging generator of the cooling system with the power of the crankshaft. Once the fan belt breaks, the cooling water in the cylinder body will immediately stop circulating while the engine will become overheated. The truck will stop running in a short while, as the engine cannot ignite without the power of a battery.
