Error Detection Cooling System

Ask for the following information:
-
How old is the device (engine number and model)?
-
How many operating hours (wear and corrosion)?
-
How long does the problem already exist (gradual or sudden occurence)?
-
Operating conditions prior to occurence of problem (interior waters, salt water, muddy
or sandy water?)
-
What repair- or service works have already been carried out (exchange of impeller, etc.)?
-
At what engine speed does the problem occur?
-
At what engine load does the problem occur?

Raw water circuit (external)
2.1
At first, take into consideration the following possibilities:
-
Defective or faulty cooling water temperature sensor (high-riser)
-
Sufficient rate of flow for raw water
-
raw water pick-up damaged or clogged
-
wrongly mounted raw water pick-up
-
raw water filter clogged
-
stop valve (bottom valve) defective (only opens partially)
-
Raw water pump
-
impeller defective (broken or strong wear)
-
suction pipe from raw water filter to raw water pump clogged or deformed
-
shaft bearing defective
- Sealing
- O-ring of impeller housing defective
- impeller plate seal
-
Tandem cooler contaminated (e.g. through a part of broken impeller)
-
Tube stake - intercooler contaminatd
-
Heat exchanger exhaust
-
contaminated
-
seal in heat exchanger cover defective.
-
Ventilation
-
Alga vegetation on quill
-
Deformations on hull, etc.
2.2
- Problems of raw water supply due to troubles in the drive unit
- defective seals or water pipes in lower gear box
- damaged rubber seal on water pipe
- damaged seal on box inlet
- leaky impeller plate seal
- leaky O-ring on impeller housing
- defective hose connection between pivot housing and Cardan housing
- observe notes and instructions of manufacturer.
2.3
- Inspection wether air reaches raw water.
Procedure: Replace water hose between raw water pump and tandem cooler (fuel/hydraulic
cooler) by transparent plastic hose. Let the device run in a test tank or with the boat
in water, at rotation speeds which cause an overheating, in order to detect a possible
bubble formation in the transparent plastic hose.
