has various radiators available (for horizontal and vertical installation) as standard generator components.
5.6.2 Radiator position
The place and fitting position of the radiator must be carefully considered. It is especially important that the warm air
can escape. For this reason, the best place for the radiator is in a vertical position on the vehicle roof (if one take into
account that an obstruction could arise in narrow entrances).
The manufacturer is only too happy to give suggestions on how to install the radiator. It must, however, be expressi-
vely pointed out that all recommendations of this type are not binding. It continually occurs that special influencing
factors are not recognised from the start. The customer or the technician making the installation must always take
changes to the position or radiator’s place of installation into consideration. The manufacturer cannot accept liability
for the recommendations given to the best of his knowledge. As a precaution, attention should always be paid that
the air outlet for escaping warm is as large as possible. The vehicle paint sprayer is often not in agreement with
this, but the person making the installation must make the aim clear. The fitter must make his position clear.
Radiators which are installed vertically, and the warm air is blown downwards, must be twice the size of such radia-
tors, by which the warm air rises through its own thermal energy. It must also be considered that a build up of heat
results through the emission of warm air in the direction of the ground, whereby the warm air is once again forced to
rise to the area of the radiator. Freely escaping warm air cannot be guaranteed in this case. Additional ventilators
may be necessary should the warm air need to be channelled through pipes.
It must be ensured that warm air is extracted out of the radiator.
5.6.3 Permitted coolant temperatures
The performance of the radiator must be so measured that the coolant temperature of the Panda generator does not
exceed more than 70°C. The coolant intake must be f itted direct to the coolant pump.
There must be a large amount of water circulating to ensure that the difference in temperature when compared to
the temperature of the water leaving the generator (full load) does not exceed 12°C. The difference ma y also
amount to 17K if a pre-silencer is installed.
The hoses must be so laid out that knots and other obstructions are avoided. If necessary, the amount of coolant
must be measured. As a minimum the following values are necessary:
5.6.4 Essential coolant amounts:
Panda 4500 ............................... min. ca. 10 l/min
Panda 8000 - 9000 ...................approx. 16 to 22 l/min
Panda 12000 - 14000 ..............approx. 24 to 28 l/min
Panda 18 - 24 ........................... approx. 32 to 38 l/min
Panda 30 - 32 ........................... approx. 40 to 45 l/min
Panda 42 - 65 ........................... approx. 50 to 60 l/min
The greater the amount of coolant circulating, the lower the difference in temperature. If the necessary cooling per-
formance cannot be achieved, the amount circulating can be increased by adjusting the pulley on the pump and the-
reby raising the performance.
ATTENTION! The coolant pressure may, however, not exceed 0.7 bar!
5.6.5 Construction and position of the radiator
The radiator can be assembled away from the generator in a well ventilated position. Attention must be paid that the
radiator emission direction is completely free of obstruction. Turbulence is to be avoided. There is often a clash bet-
