The purpose of this Service / Parts Topic is to provide a guide for the
operation of the QSK60G Natural Gas fuelled Genset with regard to
temperature control of the Low Temperature (LT) and High Temperature (HT)
cooling systems.

LT Coolant Circuit
The LT circuit is pumped through the second-stage section of the Charge Air Cooler
and is temperature modulated by a single thermostat at the outlet of the cooler. Off-
engine cooling should be sized and controlled to provide stable coolant return
temperature within a range suitable for maintaining the desired operating
temperatures listed in this document.
Operating Parameters
The normal operating range for LT coolant temperature can be obtained from Table
1; values should be selected on the LT circuit specification:
Table 1
LT Inlet Intake Manifold

Temperature Temperature
LT Circuit °C °C
Specification Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum
3332156 ’40 C’ 32 38 38 44
4085995 ’50 C’ 42 48 48 54
Note: The Intake Manifold Temperature is dependant on achieving an LT Inlet

temperature within the specified range. The range above represents the
upper 50% of the thermostat operation range.
Additional control and/or tuning of the heat rejection system may be required
to achieve the correct operating range.
Values stated in the table are as read from the engine sensors and displayed
on the Genset HMI. LT temperature shown on the HMI is Inlet temperature.
Condition Monitoring LT System

Data from the engine sensors can be collected to monitor the effectiveness of the
Charge Air Cooler in transferring heat from the Charge-air side to the Coolant side.
A reduction in cooling efficiency can indicate a problem in the Coolant side cooling
passages or a problem with the fins on the Air side, or a low coolant flow rate.
Data Presentation & Calculation LT System:

The data can be collected manually direct from the HMI screen or through the
Cummins Service Tools INSITE & Quest for Gas.
The data should be presented in a columnar form, as Table 2 below, to allow easy
visual tracking over time:

be collected.

HT Coolant Circuit
The HT circuit is pumped through the Oil coolers and first-stage charge air cooler in
parallel; then all flow passes through the cylinder block and heads. Outlet from the
engine is modulated by 6 thermostats. Off-engine cooling should be sized and
controlled to provide stable coolant return temperature within a range suitable for
maintaining the desired operating temperatures listed in this document.
Operating Parameters
The normal operating range for HT temperature can be obtained from Table 3;
values should be selected on the HT circuit specification:

Note: The range above represents the upper 50% of the thermostat operation
range.
Additional control and/or tuning of the heat rejection system may be required
to achieve the correct operating range.
Values stated in the table are as read from the engine sensors and displayed
on the Genset HMI. HT temperature displayed on the HMI is Outlet
temperature.
