DE08TS Diesel Engines
Maintenance of Major Components
Thermostat
1. General descriptions and main data
The thermostat maintains a constant temperature of
coolant and improves thermal efficiency of the
engine by preventing heat loss.
Namely, when the temperature of coolant is low, the
thermostat valve is closed to make the coolant
bypass to directly enter the water pump; when the
coolant temperature rises to open wide the thermo-
stat valve, the bypass circuit is closed and the water
passage to the radiator is opened so that the coolant
is forced to flow into the radiator.
There are 3 kinds of thermostats according to sur-
rounding and operating conditions. One is named
by 71 °C , 79°C type and the other is 83 °C.
2. Inspecting
a. Check the wax pallet and spring for damage.
b. Put the thermostat in a container of water, then
heat the water slowly and check temperature
with a thermometer. If the valve lift is 0.1 mm
(starting to open) at temperature of 71 °C and 10
mm or more (full open) at temperature of 85 °C,
the thermostat is normal.
3. Replacing thermostat and precautions for han-
dling
a. Precautions for handling
The wax pallet type thermostat does not react as
quickly as bellows type one to a variation of tem-
perature of coolant. Such relatively slow reaction
is mainly due to the large heat capacity of the
wax pellet type thermostat. Therefore, to avoid a
sharp rise of coolant temperature, it is essential
to idle the engine sufficiently before running it. In
cold weather, do not run the engine at overload
or overspeed it immediately after starting off.
b. When draining out or replenishing coolant, do it
slowly so that air is bled sufficiently from the
entire cooling system.
c. Replacing thermostat
If the thermostat is detected defective, replace
with a new one.
