Abstract

A regulation apparatus for determining the flow of fluid to a hyraulically-operated cooling fan of an air-cooled internal combustion engine includes an electromagnetic valve connected in the fluid line to the cooling fan, a control unit which sends a signal to the electromagnetic valve to control its operation, and multiple sensor elements which are positioned in or near the engine to detect the various parameters which affect its operation, the sensor elements sending electrical input signals to the control unit.
