HT cooling water system on engine

Fig. name: HT water system

The High Temperature cooling water system cools cylinder liners, cylinder heads, exhaust valve seats and the first stage of the charge air cooler.

System components

  • 01 HT water pump
  • 02 Water connection piece
  • 03 Return pipe
  • 04 Charge air cooler (HT side)
  • 05 Water connection

Connections

  • 401 HT water inlet
  • 402 HT water outlet
  • 404 HT water air vent
  • 406 HT water inlet from pre-heater
  • 411 HT water drain
  • 416 HT water air vent from air cooler

Cooling water circulation in cylinder head

Cooling water circulation in cylinder head

HT water to the cylinder head comes from the cylinder liner, flows around the exhaust valve seat rings and starting air delivery valve, around the fuel injection valve and continues upwards to the cylinder head water space.

The seat cooling circuit cools the exhaust valve seats and valves against thermal load.

Components

  • 01 Exhaust valve seat ring
  • 02 Inlet valve seat ring
  • 03 Starting air delivery valve in cylinder head
  • 04 Fuel injection valve
  • 05 Center sleeve
  • 06 Sleeve

Connections

  • A Cooling water to exhaust valve seat ring
  • B Cooling water to starting air valve

Water connection piece

Water connection piece

The water connection piece on top of the cylinder head leads the HT water to the return pipe.

Components

  • 01 Water connection piece
  • 02 Return pipe
  • 03 Flange
  • 04 O-ring
  • 05 Slide ring gasket
  • 06 Screw
  • 07 O-ring
  • 08 Stud
  • 09 Nut
  • 10 Sleeve

Connections

  • A HT water from cylinder head
  • B HT water to charge air cooler

HT water venting system

HT venting system

The HT circuit venting pipes are connected to the expansion tank from the highest point of the piping.

The HT venting system separates and removes air from the HT water system and prevents the forming of heat transfer hindering air pockets in the air cooler.

Components

  • 01 HT venting pipe from air cooler
  • 02 Water connection piece
  • 03 Return pipe
  • 04 Charge air cooler (HT side)
  • 05 Water connection

Connections

  • 404 HT water air vent
  • 416 HT water air vent from air cooler

LT cooling water system on engine

LT water system

The Low Temperature cooling water system controls the temperatures of the second stage of charge air cooler and the lubricating oil.

Components

  • 01 LT water pump
  • 02 Charge air cooler (LT side)

Connections

  • 451 LT water inlet
  • 452 LT water outlet
  • 454 LT water air vent from air cooler
  • 460 LT water to alternator

LT water venting system

LT venting system

The LT circuit venting pipe starts from the top of the charge air cooler LT side and it is connected to the expansion tank.

The LT venting system prevents the forming of heat transfer hindering air pockets in the air cooler.

Components

  • 01 LT water venting pipe
  • 02 Charge air cooler (LT side)

Connections

  • 454 LT water air vent from air cooler

Built-on LT and HT water pumps

Engine driven water pumps at pump cover

The engine driven LT and HT water pumps are both centrifugal pumps driven by a gear mechanism at the free end of the engine.

The main components are made of cast iron and the shafts are made of acid resistant steel.

System components

  • 01 LT water pump
  • 02 HT water pump
  • 03 Non-return valve
