Engine Cooling Towers
The cooling tower replaces the radiator for water-cooled engines (see Figure 3.16). The thermostat on the
cooling tower can be set to control the engine water temperature to a specific setting. The SF-902S CT600
cooling tower is mounted on the boom support assembly.
The standard CT-600 cooling tower controls the engine coolant temperature to between 115° and 185°F
(46° and 85°C) and is non-pressurized. It is easy to operate and maintain because it uses the same water
for both the engine and the absorber.
Use the optional pressurized CT300P, CT700, or CT1001 cooling towers for higher temperatures
(160/ 230°F, 71/110°C) or with antifreeze mixtures. Pressurized cooling towers have separate chambers
for engine cooling water and heat exchanger cooling water so you can use Glycol solutions in the engine
without having to add Glycol to the dyno water supply. A pressurized cooling tower makes it easier to detect
head gasket leaks and provides better temperature stability.

A temperature gauge on the cooling tower monitors the cooling tower conditions. The CT300, CT700, and
CT1001 also have a pressure gauge. The temperature and pressure measurements for all four cooling
towers can be integrated into the data acquisition system.
