It has pipe connection from:
- expansion tanker,
- heater water pump,
- engine water pump.
The vacuum-and-pressure relief valve is designed to maintain the required
coolant vapour or air pressure in the engine cooling system.
Spring of the pressure-relief valve ensures opening of the valve when the
excess pressure in the cooling system reaches 2,1  0,1 kgf/сm2. As the
temperature of coolant rises, valve opens and the pressure in the cooling
system drops down to permissible limit. Cooling of the liquid is accompanied
by creation of rarefaction. As soon as the rarefaction in the system exceeds
0,05 – 0,15 kgf /сm2 , vacuum-relief valve opens, the air enters the cooling
system and the rarefaction decreases to the tolerable limit.
Fun.
The tank is provided with a centrifugal fan which serves to form a cooling
air flow through the oil coolers and water radiators.
Consists of:
- disc;
- guide ring;
- blades.
It is made of aluminum alloy and arranged in the rear section of tank.
The fun drive has two turning stages (lower-lever on “H” position),
(higher – lever on “В” position) and the neutral position “О”.
The usual position is “H”. “В” position can be activate when the outside
temperature more than +250С, or oil and water temperature approach critical.
Shatters and shatters control linkage.
The shatters serve to maintain the required engine temperature conditions
due to regulation of amount of the cooling air sucked by the fun through the
oil coolers and water radiators as well as to protect the units of the engine
compartment from bullets and splinters. The tank mounts inlet and outlet
shatters..
Consists of:
- upper stationary flaps
- lower stationary flaps
- levers and rods.
Operation of cooling system.
When the engine is operating the coolant circulation is effected by engine
water pump. From the water pump the coolant is delivered to the cylinder
jacket and cylinder heads thus cooling them.
The hot coolant coming from the engine is branched in three flows:
The firs(main) flow is delivered to radiators via pipelines where it is
cooled with atmospheric air; motion of the air through the radiators is ensured
by fan, then, the coolant is again delivered to the engine water pump via
pipelines;
Second flow is directed via pipelines through cooled pipes and in the main
oil tank of the engine and in the tank of the power train hydraulic control and
lubrication system, to the warmed space of oil priming pumps preheater
boiler and fighting compartment heater radiator;
Third flow circulates via the vent-and-compensation circuit from the
engine cylinder heads and from the left water radiator via the pipelines into
expansion tank, wherefrom it is delivered to the water pump through
replenishing tank.
The vent-and-compensation circuit is intended for reducing steam
formation and precluding failure in circulation of the coolant.
The coolant temperature is checked by an electric temperature gage, the
sending unit of which is installed in the pipeline coming from the engine and
indicator on the driver’s instrument panel.
Besides, installed in the pipeline is a water critical temperature sending
unit with an operation range from 112 – 118ОС, and antifreeze critical
temperature sending unit with an operation range from 104 to 1090С.
When the sending unit operate, two pilot lamps installed on driver’s
remote control unit light up.
