Abstract

A discharged pressurized fluid of a primary hydraulic pump 2 driven by an engine 1 is supplied to an actuator 5 through an operating valve 4. A first hydraulic rotary machine 8 for rotating a cooling fan 7 is driven to rotate by a returning pressurized fluid of the actuator 5. A second hydraulic rotary machine 9 for rotating the cooling fan 7 is driven to rotate by the discharged pressurized fluid of an auxiliary hydraulic pump 3 which is driven by the engine 1. By utilizing the returning pressurized fluid of the actuator 5, the air blowing ability of the cooling fan is made high and the wasting of engine horse power is prevented.
