Summary of System Design The following points must be given extra thorough consideration when designing a cooling system: • The maximum ambient temperature the engine must operate in. • Cooling air flow direction, i.e. if a puller or pusher fan is to be used. A pusher fan is recommended for generator sets to avoid generator overheating. On mobile applications, consideration must be give to any slipstream. • Engine heat radiation causes a rise in cooling air temperature in pusher fan systems. • Generator heat contribution is 7-10 % of net engine power. • Additional coolers in front of the radiator (puller fan) or behind the radiator (pusher fan) will cause a rise in cooling air temperature and a reduction in airflow. • The radiator may become clogged in dusty environments, which will impair cooling capacity. The radiator must be installed so that it can easily be cleaned. Grilles / filters are availabl...
