Vehicle hydraulic component support and cooling system

A hydraulic cooling system for use in a vehicle comprising:

• a hydraulic pump;
• a radiator;
• a hydraulic motor driving a fan blade;
• and
• a hydraulic conduit for hydraulically coupling said hydraulic pump and said hydraulic motor together;
• said hydraulic conduit being elongated and defining at least three legs for distributing a load and to avoid bending of at least one of said at least three legs generated by said fan blade to a structure on which the hydraulic conduit is mounted.

A hydraulic cooling network for use on a motor vehicle comprising:

• a hydraulic pump for supplying hydraulic pressure;
• hydraulic fan motor for performing work in response to said hydraulic pressure;
• and
• conduit means comprising at least three conduit leas for conducting hydraulic fluid between said hydraulic pump and said hydraulic fan motor, said conduit means defining a self-sufficient support structure for supporting the hydraulic component in a predetermined position in said vehicle, said conduit means facilitating equally distributing load and avoiding bending of one or more of said at least three legs.

A hydraulic cooling system for use in a vehicle comprising:

• a hydraulic pump;
• a radiator;
• a hydraulic motor for driving a fan blade;
• and
• a hydraulic conduit comprising at least three conduit legs for hydraulically coupling said hydraulic pump and said hydraulic motor together;
• said hydraulic conduit being mounted on a conduit support and defining a support structure for supporting said hydraulic motor such that when said hydraulic motor is hydraulically energized, said support structure distributes any reaction force to the conduit support;
• said conduit means facilitating equally distributing load and avoiding bending of at least one of said at least three legs.

A hydraulic component support for supporting a hydraulic component at a predetermined position on a vehicle comprising:

• support structure comprising;
• at least first, second and third elongated, substantially rigid members interconnecting the hydraulic component to another;
• at least one of said support members defining a conduit for conducting hydraulic fluid to or from said hydraulic component;
• said support members simultaneously extending laterally and longitudinally with respect to an axis of symmetry of said component to distribute inertial forces of said hydraulic component and to avoid bending of one or more of said support members.
