ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
General
The cooling system consists of a vertically mounted radiator
in front of the engine with a hydraulically driven blower-type
fan.
Operation
Coolant Flow
The cooling system is of the de-aerated type, which
continually removes air from the system, as follows:
⢠A small percentage of total coolant flow is circulated
through a vent line to the radiator.
⢠Since coolant circulation is very slow in the radiator, air
separates from the coolant.
⢠Air collects at the top of the radiator. When pressure
rises to 15 psi (1,03 bar), the relief in the fill cap opens to
exhaust air through overflow line.
⢠De-aerated coolant returns to the system through a
make-up line.
