Distributed cooling system for a work machine

A cooling system, comprising:

• a first radiator to cool a liquid coolant that cools an engine;
• a first fan, connected to the first radiator, to facilitate cooling the liquid coolant;
• a first temperature sensor to obtain first temperature data concerning the liquid coolant;
• a second radiator to cool an oil that lubricates a powertrain system;
• a second fan, connected to the second radiator, to facilitate cooling the oil;
• a second temperature sensor to obtain second temperature data concerning the oil;
• a heat exchanger to facilitate the liquid coolant cooling the oil and the oil cooling the liquid coolant;
• and
• a controller, electrically connected to the first fan, the first temperature sensor, the second fan, and the second temperature sensor to control the first fan and the second fan,
• wherein, when controlling the first fan and the second fan, the controller is to:
• control, based on the first temperature data concerning the liquid coolant and the second temperature data concerning the oil, the first fan to operate at a speed, of a plurality of speeds of the first fan, when the first temperature data concerning the liquid coolant indicates that a temperature of the liquid coolant is below a first temperature threshold and the second temperature data concerning the oil indicates that a temperature of the oil is above a second temperature threshold.

A machine, comprising:

• an engine;
• a brake oil circulation system;
• a heat exchanger to fluidly connect with one or more of:
• the engine, or
• the brake oil circulation system,
• wherein the heat exchanger is configured to facilitate cooling of:
• a liquid coolant that cools the engine, or
• a brake oil used in the brake oil circulation system;
• a first radiator to fluidly connect with the engine,
• wherein the first radiator is configured to cool the liquid coolant that cools the engine;
• a first fan, coupled to the first radiator, configured to facilitate cooling the liquid coolant;
• a second radiator to fluidly connect with the brake oil circulation system,
• wherein the second radiator is configured to cool the brake oil used in the brake oil circulation system;
• one or more second fans, coupled to the second radiator, configured to facilitate cooling the brake oil;
• and
• a controller, electrically connected with the first fan and the or more second fans to control at least the first fan and the one or more second fans to facilitate one or more of cooling the liquid coolant or cooling the brake oil,
• wherein, when controlling at least the first fan and the one or more second fans, the controller is to:
• activate the first fan based on first data indicating that the liquid coolant is cool and second data indicating that the brake oil is hot.
