Electrical coolant circulation pump V51
Electrical coolant circulation pump V51 is
located in the engine’s V angle.
If the coolant temperature is too high,
thermoswitch for coolant circulation run-on
F95 activates the additional coolant function.
The high temperatures which occur at the
exhaust gas turbocharger produce vapour
bubbles which prevent coolant being drawn in
by pump V51.
When pump V51 starts up, the coolant flows
through the exhaust gas turbocharger and the
cylinder heads. The direction of flow in the
turbocharger cooling circuit is reversed by
this.
Due to this reversal of the direction of coolant
flow, coolant is drawn in via the cylinder heads
(large cross-sections), which means that any
vapour bubbles which develop are expelled
from the exhaust gas turbocharger lines.
The electrical coolant circulation pump again
draws in coolant along the rear coolant pipe,
thereby recirculating the coolant.
