4.7 Cooling Towers
The engine cooling tower is mounted on the boom
support. The two water hoses (supply and drain)
must be connected as shown in Figure 4.6.
A thermocouple should be installed on the
cooling tower and connected to the Data
Acquisition System to monitor and record the
cooling temperature with WinDyn. Use the Cool
IN channel. A second thermocouple should be
installed in the engine water jacket, typically on the
intake manifold. Use the Cool OUT channel.
Improper connection of the water inlet and outlet
hoses to the CT700-NOP cooling tower can
pressurize the system and blow the hoses off the
engine which can result in serious equipment
damage or bodily injury.
!
WARNING
Both the CT300P and CT700P have the cooling
water outlet on the thermostat valve which is
different than the CT600. The arrow imprinted on
the valve housing indicates the water flow direction.
NOTE:
Basic operation instructions for cooling
towers is provided in Chapter 5.6.
