The engine has two cooling systems. The jacket water system cools the following components: engine
oil cooler, cylinder block, cylinder heads, turbochargers and aftercooler's first stage. A separate
system cools the aftercooler's second stage. Illustrations 1 and 2 are diagrams of typical cooling
systems.

The cooling system has two pumps that are driven by the engine. Coolant from the jacket water cools the first stage of the
aftercooler. The separate circuit cools the second stage.

Cooling system for the jacket water and a separate circuit for the two-stage aftercooler that operates at a standard
temperature

Water temperature regulators are used in each circuit in order to maintain correct operating
temperatures.

Jacket Water System

The jacket water pump is located on the right front side of the engine. The water pump has a gear that
is driven by the lower right front gear group. Coolant from the radiator or the heat exchanger enters
the water pump's inlet. The rotation of the impeller in the jacket water pump pushes the coolant
through the system.

The flow of the coolant is divided. Some of the coolant from the jacket water pump flows through a
tube to the front of the cylinder block and into the main distribution manifold for the water jacket of
each cylinder. The remainder of the coolant flows through the engine oil cooler.

After flowing through the engine oil cooler, this portion of the coolant is divided again. Some of the
coolant flows into the water jacket of the right rear cylinder. This coolant is mixed throughout the
engine's water jacket with the coolant that flows to the front of the cylinder block. The remainder of
the coolant flows through the first stage of the aftercooler.

The coolant inside the cylinder block flows around the cylinder liners. The water jacket is smaller
near the top of the cylinder liners. This shelf causes the coolant to flow faster for better cooling of the
cylinder liner. The coolant is pumped up through water directors into the cylinder heads. The coolant
flows through passages around these items in the cylinder head: valves, valve seat inserts, spark plug
adapter and exhaust outlets.

The coolant exits the cylinder heads through tubes and the coolant flows into the water manifold.

Coolant flows through the water manifold into lines for the turbocharger turbine housing and for the
exhaust bypass valve. The coolant returns to the water manifold.

Air is vented from the high points of the cooling system. The vent line from the connection must be
straight and the vent line must have a slight upward slope. The vent must not be obstructed.

The water manifold directs the coolant to the water temperature regulator housing. The engine has
eight water temperature regulators. The water temperature regulators control the direction of the
coolant flow according to the coolant temperature.

When the coolant achieves normal operating temperature, the water temperature regulators open and
coolant flow is divided. Most of the coolant goes through the radiator or through the heat exchanger.
This coolant circulates back to the jacket water pump. The remainder of the coolant goes through a
bypass tube to the jacket water pump.

Note: The water temperature regulators are necessary to maintain the correct engine temperature. If
the water temperature regulators are not installed in the system, there is no mechanical control. Most
of the coolant will take the path of least resistance through the bypass tube. This will cause the engine
to overheat in hot weather. The small amount of coolant that goes through the radiator in cold weather
will not allow the engine to achieve normal operating temperatures. The water temperature regulators
control the minimum temperature of the coolant. The radiator or the heat exchanger controls the
maximum temperature of the coolant.

The bypass tube has another function. When you fill the cooling system the internal bypass allows the
coolant to go into the cylinder head and into the cylinder block without going through the water
pump.

The total system capacity depends on the amount of coolant in the cylinder block, in the piping, and in
the radiator or heat exchanger.

Auxiliary water pump (1) is driven by the engine's auxiliary drive. The coolant is pumped through
tube (2) to the aftercooler's second stage (3). The coolant exits the aftercooler through tube (4) that is
connected to thermostatic valve (5) .

The thermostatic valve has one inlet, two outlets, and a water temperature regulator. When the coolant
is cool, the water temperature regulator is closed. The coolant is routed directly back to the auxiliary
water pump. The coolant is recirculated through the aftercooler.

When the coolant reaches the opening temperature, the water temperature regulator opens. The
coolant flows to a radiator or to a heat exchanger through outlet (6). The coolant returns to the
auxiliary pump through inlet (7) .
