Troubleshooting Diesel Engine Cooling System

Cooling System for an engine is one of the most important parts. Each engine has its own cooling system. We use different cooling system for different engine. Water cooling, Oil cooling, Air cooling is most common cooling system. In this post I will discuss about the Diesel Engine Generator Water cooling system. If we burn diesel inside the engine then it will become hot. For this reason we use water inside the engine and it reduces engine inner temperature. This method name is Jacket Water Cooling System. Let ’ s learn more about this cooling system. Jacket Water Cooling System is normally two types: – a) Open Circuit Cooling System b) Close Circuit Cooling System.     Open Circuit Cooling System: Usually in this method the engine is cooled by water from the external source like ponds or water tanks.     Close Circuit Cooling System: In this method the water reserved inside the engine and the radiator or a heat exchanger is used to...

The Uses Of Antifreeze Coolant

There is only one approved use of anti-freeze coolant, and that ’ s in your car ’ s cooling system if you drive in climates where the temperatures can dip below freezing. (It does make a very effective poison, as an “ off -label ” use!) If you live in an area where the ambient air temperature never drops below 0 degrees Celsius, then you can safely use plain water, which is substantially more effective at transferring heat than glycol-based anti-freeze coolant. You would also want to add a small amount of water pump lubricant to plain water, or a reputable additive such as Red Line ’ s “ Water Wetter ” . Alternatively, a coolant that has many advantages and very satisfied users, is Evans Waterless coolant, which is NOT mixed with water (in fact, you need to blow your coolant passages 100% dry before use, to remove all moisture). Glycol based, it has a higher boiling point than pure water, and will not permit corrosion. 1 – What is anti-freeze? Anti-freeze is a gly...
