Cooling system for a warm engine (1) Cylinder head. (2) Water temperature regulator. (3) Outlet hose. (4) Vent line. (5) Vent tube. (6) Shunt line. (7) Elbow. (8) Water pump. (9) Cylinder block. (10) Oil cooler. (11) Inlet hose. (12) Radiator.In operation, the water pump (8) circulates the coolant from the radiator (12) to the oil cooler (10) .The coolant from the oil cooler (10) goes into the cylinder block (9) through a bonnet and an elbow. The coolant goes around the cylinder liners, through the water directors and into the cylinder head.The water directors send the flow of coolant around the area of the valves and the area of the exhaust ports in the cylinder head. The coolant then goes to the front of the cylinder head. At this point, water temperature regulator (2) controls the coolant flow into the top of the radiator.The water temperature regulator (2) is closed when the engine is cold. The coolant flows through the regulator housing and elbow (7) back to water pump (8) .If the coolant is at normal operating temperature, the water temperature regulator (2) opens and the coolant flows to the radiator (12) through the outlet hose (3). The coolant temperature lowers as the coolant moves through the radiator. When the coolant gets to the bottom of the radiator, the coolant goes through the inlet hose (11) and into the water pump (8) .Note: The water temperature regulator (2) is an important part of the cooling system. The water temperature regulator (2) divides the coolant flow between the radiator (12) and the bypass elbow (7). If the water temperature regulator is not installed in the system, there is no mechanical control. If a higher volume of coolant goes through the radiator, the engine will not reach normal operating temperatures. This can occur during cold weather.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 the 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 release the pressure in the cooling system as the cooling system heats up to operating temperature. This will purge any air out of the system.The OEM may supply a surge tank. The tank can be mounted on the radiator or 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.Coolant For Air Compressor

(11) Coolant inlet from radiator.Some conditions of operation can cause pitting on the outer surface of the cylinder liners and on the cylinder block surface next to the 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.Coolant conditioner element (8) 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 the air compressor (accessories). 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. The corrosion inhibitor is a dry solution, so the inhibitor dissolves. The corrosion inhibitor then mixes to the correct concentration. Two basic types of elements are used for the cooling system. The two elements are the precharge elements and the maintenance elements. 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 precharge element contains more than the normal amount of inhibitor. The precharge element is used when a system is first filled with new 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.
