Installation Instructions
Seite/Page 64 - Kaptitel/Chapter 5: Installation Instructions 10.6.16
5.9.6 Coolant expansion tank
Coolant expansion tank for systems with a radiator below the generator.
For operation, a coolant expansion tank must be installed at least 100 mm above the level of the exhaust manifold
and the radiator.
The ventilation line of the radiator and the generator shall be installed on the top connection. The bottom connection
is used to refill the coolant circuit and is integrated in the coolant circuit at a low-lying location using a T-fitting.
The coolant expansion tank can be procured from the Fischer Panda accessories.
Coolant expansion tank for systems with a radiator installed above the generator.
If the radiator is installed min. 100 mm above the exhaust manifold, a radiator with integrated coolant expansion tank
can be used. In this case, the ventilation line of the generator is connected to the return line to the radiator (hot side)
using a T-fitting. If is refilled via the feed line (cold side) to the generator.
5.9.7 Installation of a coolant temperature indicator
Where sensitive systems are installed (e.g. in television transmission vehicles, rescue vehicles, or other vehicles
with sensitive metrological installations) a remote indicator for coolant temperatures should be installed. It is, howe-
ver, highly recommended to install two indicator instruments:
1. coolant feed line (cold side)
2. coolant return line (hot side)
The exact location of the measuring unit is not important, here.
Note: A corresponding indicator kit can be procured from
Fischer Panda.
For subsequent installation, Fischer Panda T-fittings are
available for hose elements in which the temperature sensors
are then installed.
5.9.8 Permissible coolant temperatures
• The radiator must be dimensioned such that the feed line to the generator (cold side) does not get hotter than 70 °C
during normal operation. The coolant feed line must be connected to the coolant pump.
• The coolant volume flow must be dimensioned such that the temperature difference between engine inflow (coolant
pump) and engine outflow (exhaust manifold) is no greater than 12 K under full load.
Note: To ensure this, the coolant hoses shall be routed without
kinks or sharp bends. Resistance, e.g. due to narrowed
points in transition pieces or shut-off valves, shall be
avoided.
5.9.9 Coolant pump
• The generator is equipped with a normally suctioning (not self-priming) coolant pump.
• The coolant pump is designed so that a max. distance of 5 m between pump and radiator is possible.
Note: If the necessary coolant volume flow is not achieved (e.g.
due to a special installation situation), an external coolant
pump with the corresponding output must be installed in
the coolant circuit to increase the coolant volume flow.
