WATER COOLING SYSTEM
Description
The cooling system Figure 7-10 consists of a radiator, surge
tank, engine cooling circuit, and the connecting hoses and
connecting tubes. Cooling system capacity is approximately
40 qt (37.9 L). The temperature is controlled by a 181°F
(83°C) thermostat located between the top of the engine and
the top of the radiator. At all times, the antifreeze/coolant
should be properly inhibited against corrosion. It is
recommended that a mixture of AFC-50/50 blended
ethylene-glycol, low silicate, fully formulated, engine
antifreeze/coolant concentrate and water which does not
require a pre-charge of supplemental coolant additives
(SCA) for use in initial fill of heavy duty liquid cooled internal
combustion engines be used at all times.
The crane is equipped with a cab hot water heater. Hot water
is supplied by the engine coolant system through a strainer
and two port water swivel to the cab heater. The strainer is a
cleanable type and is located on the left side of the
transmission by the rear engine/transmission mount. Refer
to
, page 9-1 for service of the strainer.
Maintenance
General
The cooling system includes the Radiator, Surge Tank,
Thermostat, the Fan, and Water Pump. Radiator hoses are
also included in this group.
The cooling system is often neglected because the effects or
damage that result from an improperly maintained system
usually occur gradually. The cooling system needs to be
maintained with the same attention as other systems.
The circulation of water through the cooling system relies
entirely upon the water pump. The water pump draws water
from the radiator and forces it through the water jacket and
cylinder head. There it accumulates heat and flows to the
radiator tank. Then the water flows across through the
radiator core and is cooled by air from the fan. This process
of removing heat from water as it circulates holds the engine
to its efficient operating temperature.
The following paragraphs point out several facts about
cooling system components, the effects of cooling system
neglect, and procedures to be followed for cooling system
maintenance.
Effects of Cooling System Neglect
Whenever an engine does not perform at top efficiency, a
neglected cooling system may be at fault even though the
part directly responsible is not a part of the cooling system.
Most of these problems can be traced to overheating;
however, an engine that is running too cold can be just as
troublesome.
Overheating
An engine that is overheating may lead to troubles such as
the following:
1.
Burned valves.
2.
Pinging or knocking.
3.
Excessive fuel consumption.
4.
Poor lubrication - increased engine wear.
5.
Sticking valves.
6.
Short injector life.
7.
Engine hot spots.
8.
Need for higher grade fuel.
Overcooling
The following engine troubles result when an engine is
overcooled:
1.
Excessive fuel consumption.
2.
Sludge formation in crankcase.
3.
Corrosive acids formed in crankcase.
4.
Excessive fuel deposits in the exhaust system.
Antifreeze/Coolant
Heavy duty diesel engines require a balanced mixture of
water and antifreeze/coolant. For maximum rust, freeze, and
boiling point protection, a 50/50 blended, fully formulated
extended life antifreeze/coolant should be maintained at all
times. Refer to
, page 9-1. Do not use more than
50 percent antifreeze/coolant in the mixture unless additional
freeze protection is required. Never use more than 68
percent antifreeze/coolant under any condition. Antifreeze/
coolant at 68 percent provides the maximum freeze
protection; antifreeze/coolant protection decreases above 68
percent.
Rust Prevention
To keep engines operating at like new efficiency, all forms of
rust formation must be prevented. The formation of rust in
the cooling system is a result of the interaction of water, iron,
and oxygen, and can only be prevented by maintaining full
strength corrosion protection at all times. Supplemental
coolant additives (SCA) are recommended for this cooling
system. Antifreeze/coolant alone does not provide sufficient
protection for heavy-duty diesel engines. Refer to
Section 9
for SCA specification and compatible brands.
Engine Antifreeze/Coolant Fill Procedure (when level
is low)
1.
Fill the system with a 50/50 blended, fully formulated
extended life antifreeze/coolant. Fill to the bottom of the
