Sistema de refrigeración
SMCS - 1350

Este motor tiene un sistema de enfriamiento de presión que está equipado con una línea de derivación.

Un sistema de enfriamiento de tipo presión ofrece dos ventajas. Primero, el sistema de enfriamiento puede
funcionar de manera segura a una temperatura que es más alta que el punto de ebullición del agua. Además,
se reduce la cavitación en la bomba de agua. Es más difícil que se formen bolsas de aire o vapor en el
sistema de enfriamiento.

Nota: En un sistema de posenfriador aire a aire (ATAAC), use una mezcla de refrigerante con una base de
etilenglicol al 30 por ciento. La base de etilenglicol debe usarse para un rendimiento eficiente de la bomba de
agua. Esta mezcla mantiene el rango de temperatura del refrigerante lo suficientemente alto para un
rendimiento eficiente.

During operation, water pump (8) sends most of the coolant from radiator (13) to oil cooler (12).

The coolant from oil cooler (12) goes into cylinder block (9) through a bonnet and an elbow. The coolant
flows around the cylinder liners into the cylinder head.

Some of the coolant from the elbow is directed toward the precooler (11). If the coolant temperature is below
20 °C (68 °F), the solenoid is energized, and coolant is blocked from the precooler. If the coolant temperature
is above 20 °C (68 °F), the coolant diverter valve is open. With the coolant diverter valve open, coolant is
allowed to flow through precooler (11) in order to cool the compressed intake air.

The flow of coolant into the head goes around the valves and the passages for exhaust gases in the cylinder
head. The coolant then goes to the front of the cylinder head. At this point, the water temperature regulators
(2) control the flow of the coolant into the radiator (13).

Water temperature regulators (2) are closed when the engine is cold. The coolant flows through the regulator
housing and elbow (7) back to water pump (8). This is done in order to increase the operating temperature of
the engine coolant.

If the coolant is at normal operating temperature, water temperature regulators (2) open and the coolant flows
to radiator (13) through the outlet hose (3). The coolant becomes cooler as the coolant moves through the
radiator. When the coolant gets to the bottom of the radiator, the coolant goes through inlet hose and into
water pump (8).

Note: Water temperature regulators (2) are an important part of the cooling system. Water temperature
regulator (2) divides the coolant flow between radiator (13) and bypass elbow (7). This will maintain the
correct temperature.

Shunt line (6) gives several advantages to the cooling system. The shunt line gives a positive coolant
pressure at the water pump inlet that prevents pump cavitation. A small flow of coolant constantly goes
through shunt line (6) to the inlet of water pump (8). This causes a small amount of coolant to move
constantly through vent tube (5). The flow through the vent tube is small and the volume of the upper
compartment is large. Air in the coolant is removed as the coolant goes into the upper compartment.

The vent line is used to fill the cooling system with coolant for the first time. This will purge any air out of
the top of a bottom filled system.

The OEM may supply a surge tank. The tank can be mounted on the radiator or the tank can be mounted on a
remote location. The coolant that expands past the radiator cap is retained in the surge tank. The coolant
contracts as the temperature drops and the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.

Engines With A BrakeSaver

The cooling system for an engine with a BrakeSaver is identical to the cooling system for an engine without
a BrakeSaver. The oil cooler on an engine with a BrakeSaver is larger. The oil cooler is still found in the
same location on the engine. The water flow through the oil cooler is identical for the two oil coolers.

Coolant For Air Compressor

The coolant for air compressor (1) comes from the cylinder block through inlet hose (3) and into the air
compressor. The coolant goes from the air compressor through outlet hose (2) back into the front of the
cylinder head.

Coolant Conditioner (An Attachment)

Some conditions of operation can cause pitting on the outer surface of the cylinder liners and on the cylinder
block surface next to the cylinder liners. This pitting is caused by corrosion or by cavitation erosion. A
corrosion inhibitor is a chemical that provides a reduction in pitting. The addition of a corrosion inhibitor can
keep this type of damage to a minimum.

The coolant conditioner element is a spin-on element that is similar to a fuel filter and to oil filter elements.
The coolant conditioner element attaches to coolant conditioner base that is mounted on the engine or
mounted on a remote location. Coolant flows through lines from the water pump to the base and back to
water pump. Coolant constantly flows through the coolant conditioner element.

The element has a specific amount of inhibitor for acceptable cooling system protection. As the coolant
flows through the element, the corrosion inhibitor goes into the solution. Two basic types of elements are
used for the cooling system: the precharge element and the maintenance element. Each type of element has a
specific use. The elements must be used correctly in order to get the necessary concentration for cooling
system protection. The elements also contain a filter. The elements should remain in the system after the
conditioner has dissolved. This will allow proper flow of the coolant through the engine. Refer to Operation
and Maintenance Manual, "Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA)" for more information.

The precharge element contains more than the normal amount of the inhibitor. The precharge element is used
with new coolant after a complete change of the coolant. This element must add enough inhibitor in order to
bring the complete cooling system up to the correct concentration.

The maintenance elements have a normal amount of inhibitor. The maintenance elements are installed at the
first change interval. A sufficient amount of inhibitor is provided by the maintenance elements in order to
maintain the corrosion protection at an acceptable level. After the first change interval, only maintenance
elements are installed. In order to provide the cooling system with protection, maintenance elements are
installed at specific intervals. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule"
for the correct maintenance of the cooling system.
