Patent attributes
A CVT belt cooling system is provided. The system includes a housing that retains within the housing a variable speed motor and a fan blade coupled to the variable speed motor. The system also includes an integrated microprocessor controller coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the variable speed motor and coupled to a belt temperature sensor. The housing is configured to couple to a housing of a CVT to provide additional cooling air to the CVT belt. The temperature of a belt of the CVT is determined by the belt temperature sensor and based on the determined temperature, and the integrated microprocessor controller controls the speed of the motor and thereby the speed of the fan to control the amount of additional cooling air flowing into the CVT to cool the belt.
