The following table shows the possible causes of and remedial measures for faults on water-
cooled machines.
Table 8-5 Cooling system faults
↓ High temperature rise
↓ Water leaking
Possible causes of faults Remedial measures
X Reduced cooling Check the cooling water flow, increase the amount of cooling water if
necessary
X Cooling water flow rate too low Clean the air-to-water heat exchanger.
X Inlet temperature too high Set the correct upstream temperature.
X Cooling water supply switched off Switch on the cooling water supply.
X Cooling water contains frost or anti-corro‐
sion additives
Use cooling water of the agreed quality.
