polarforceHorton introduces WindMaster Revolution™ — high-efficiency, hybrid-flow fan

Horton has introduced the WindMaster Revolution, an innovative high-efficiency, hybrid-flow fan that meets the airflow demand of EPA10, Euro VI and Tier 4 engines.

"The WindMaster Revolution is a radical change from current technologies, combining only the best features of axial-, mixed- and radial-flow fan technology," says Steve Wardleworth, vice president operations, general manager, fan and shroud business unit at Horton, Inc. "The WindMaster Revolution is optimized to move air more efficiently around the engine and through the under-hood compartment. The result is energy savings and the highest efficiency available with the lowest operating noise — vitally important in meeting emission regulation changes that require better cooling performance. Presently being tested in numerous vehicle and equipment models, we anticipate WindMaster Revolution will become the leading technology for new on- and off-highway applications."
