Working Safely on the Cooling System
1.) Keep your hands away from the moving fan. The spinning fan blades can mangle
your hand and even cut off fingers.
2.) Never stand in a direct line with the fan. A fan blade could break off and fly out of
the engine compartment. Anyone standing in line with the fan could be seriously
injured. Before starting an engine, examine the fan for cracked or loose blades. If
you find damage, replace the fan.
3.) Electric fans can turn on unexpectedly, especially if the engine is warm. Always
disconnect the fan before working in the fan area.
4.) Keep your fingers away from the moving belt and pulleys. Your fingers could be
pitched and cut off if they are caught between the belt and a pulley.
5.) Never attempt to remove the radiator cap from an engine that is near or above its
normal operating temperature. Releasing the pressure cap may cause instant boiling
of the coolant. You may be scalded and burned by boiling coolant and steam spurting
from the radiator filler neck. Allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator
cap.
6.) Coolant is poisonous. It can cause serious illness or even death if swallowed. Always
wash your hands if you get coolant on them.
7.) A puddle of drained coolant will poison any pet drinking from it. Coolant is a
hazardous material. Dispose of it in a safe and legal manner.
8.) Under some conditions, the ethylene glycol in antifreeze is combustible. Do not spill
antifreeze on the exhaust manifold or other hot engine parts.
9.) If the engine overheats, turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. Continued
operation of an overheated engine may cause fire, the possibility of personal injury,
and severe vehicle damage.
10.) Never disconnect a hose or attempt to replace any cooling system part until after the
engine cools. Pressure in the system may cause hot coolant to spray out, burning or
scalding the person.
Information Sheet-__
1. Rotor –TypePump– it has the inner rotor meshes internally with the outer one, which has one
more lobe, so the spaces vary in size, causing oil to be drawn in and forced out.
2 - Gear Type Pump - this contains a pair of meshing gears revolving in a closely fitting
housing. Oil fed in at one side is carried round the edge and out at the other side.
3, Relief(or) Regulator Valve: This valve regulates pressure in the system. As the engine speed
increases, pump output increases and this must be controlled to prevent excessive pressure in the
system. When the specified pressure for the engine is reached, the relief valve opens to regulate
the pressure. Excess oil from the relief valve is then bypassed to the intake side of the pump.
4, Oil Filter: – it is usually embodying an element of impregnated paper, fitted to an engine to
prevent dirt, metal particles and other impurities from circulating in the engine’s lubrication
system
Pressure Relief
Valve
Oil Pump
1. Full-flow filters
All the oil delivered from the pump passes through the filter on its way to the bearings and other
engine parts, so that only filtered oil is used for lubrication, provided the filter is in good condition. A
relief valve is located in the filter so that if the filter becomes clogged, the relief valve will open and
continue to supply oil to the system. Full-flow filter operate at a higher pressure than bypass filters, and
attention should be paid to renewing seals and applying correct torque to the bolt or filter during
servicing, so that oil leaks do not occur.
2. Bypass filters
These filters only a portion of the oil delivered from the pump to the oil ways of the engine. An
oil line is tapped into the oil gallery and a restricted amount of oil (5-10%) is allowed to flow to the filter
and then back to the oil pan. This oil is not delivered into the engine oil ways as clean oil, but it bypasses
the engine, to be returned as clean oil to the oil pan, again ready for the pump. In this way some oil is
always being filtered though not directly on its way to the engine parts.
5, Oil Gallery: The main oil gallery is a passage that runs full length of the crankcase. A number of
drillings and passages from the gallery to other parts of the lubrication system. Figure shows two
passages from the gallery, one to the crankshaft and its associated parts, and the other to the camshaft
and its associated parts.
6, Crankshaft Main Bearings: Each of the crankshaft main bearings is supplied with oil through a
separate drilling from the main oil gallery.
7, Connecting Rod Bearings: Oil from the drillings in the crankshaft lubricates the connecting rod
bearings.
8, Oil Jet: An oil jet is used to lubricate the cylinder walls and pistons. A small hole in the side
of the connecting rod is arranged to line up with the oil drilling in the crankpin journal. As this occurs, a stream of
oil is directed onto the cylinder walls as a mist to provide lubrication. This happens once in each crankshaft
revolution.9, Dipstick – connotes to a graduated rod for measuring the amount of oil in the engine sump
or gearbox.
10, Oil Pressure Gauge – use to measure the amount of oil pressure
11, Dipstick ;-connotes to a graduated rod for measuring the amount of oil in the engine sump
or gearbox.
4.) SLUDGE: IS a thicker, creamy, black substance that often forms in the crankcase. It
clogs oil screens and oil lines, preventing normal circulating of the lubricating oil to engine
parts. This can result in engine failure from oil starvation.
If the engine parts are cold the water condenses and drops in to the crankcase. Since the engine
oil mixed with this water by crankshaft, slugging is formed. The black colour comes from dirt
and carbon.
Howslugging forms- If the engine is operated, when cold most of the time, than slugging is
formed.
How preventing slugging- To preventing slugging, the car mast be driven long enough
for the engine to heat up and get rid of the water in crankcase.
N.BBe careful measure the same to other two types of oil pumps ,with the same measuring
tools, feeler gauge and precision straight edge.
Service Rating Oil
Oil is rated by viscosity number and by its servicing rating. This designation by
the American Petroleum Institute (API) indicates the service for which the oil is
best suited.
Gasoline Engine oil Diesel Engine oil
SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, and SG. CA, CB, CD, CE, and CF
Engine oil changes procedure
Due to the contamination of oil, it loses its effectiveness so fresh oil is put in to
the engine. Manufacturers recommend, for normal service, changing oil every
four month or 6400km, which comes first. For sever service , change oil two
months or 3200km.
Draining the oil from the engine
1, Raise the car on proper position
2, Preparing container
3, Place the oil drain pan position
4, Remove the drain plug from the oil pan
5, After the oil is drained, install the plug and lower the car
Flushing the lubrication system
1, Drain oil from the system
2, Mix contaminated engine oil with the diesel fuel and fill the system, then run
the engine for 10 min.
3, Drain the oil from the system
Refilling the system with fresh oil
1, After the oil is drained from the engine and flushed the lubrication system add
the recommended amount of oil to the engine.
2, Start the engine and check for level with dipstick and leaks.
2. Expansion Tank– The expansion tank (or reservoir tank or overflow tank) is connected
to the radiator by the overflow hose.When the coolant volume expands due to a rise in
temperature, the excess coolant is sent to the expansion tank. When the temperature
drops, the coolant in the expansion tank returns to the radiator. This prevents wasteful
discharge of the coolant and eliminates the need for constant replenishment of the
coolant supply.
3. Radiator Hose– it is a rubber or fabric pipe between the radiator and the engine. The
upper house feeds hot coolant to the radiator and the lower hose returns the cooled
coolant to the engine.

Cooling Fan
The fan is usually located behind the radiator, and in most cases is mounted on the water
pump drive flange. A v belt may be employed to drive the fan from the crankshaft.
The fan consists of a number of blades constructed from metal or a plastic such as nylon.
In the case of a vehicle travelling at a relatively high speed, a great deal of air flows through the
radiator core, but when the engine is idling or travelling at low speed in heavy traffic on a hot
day, the flow of air would be insufficient to provide effective
cooling. Therefore, the purpose of the cooling fan is to
maintain an adequate flow of air through the radiator,
particularly at low road speeds and under engine idling
conditions. Air flowing through the radiator assists in
dissipating the heat of the coolant flowing through the
radiator core. Care must be taken with the design of the fan,
as the amount of power absorbed in driving the fan increases
with engine speed. Furthermore, by increasing the number of
blades the fan size can be reduced and improvements in
efficiency obtained.

9. Temperature Gauge– it is an instrument used to indicate the temperature of the engine coolant.
10. Water Jackets – In most designs the water jackets are cast as an integral part of the cylinder block
and cylinder head to provide passages or galleries around the
cylinders, combustion chambers, valve seats, etc., for the circulation of
the coolant. It is essential that theses passages allow an unrestricted
flow of coolant around the cylinders and valves. The majority of
modern engines have full-length water jackets which extend almost to
the bottom of the cylinders. An outlet is formed in the cylinder head to
connect the upper part of the water jacket with the radiator header
tank. The cylinder block water jacket is connected to the radiator
bottom tank via the inlet connection on the water pump. A drain plug or
valve should also be provided in the cylinder block at the lowest point
in the water jacket so that the coolant may be drained from the jackets.
Thermostat
The thermostat is usually located between the cylinder head
(water jacket outlet) and the header tank of the radiator. Its exact
location varies with engine application.
Internal combustion engines are designed to operate most efficiently at
a particular temperature (operating or working temperature) and it is most important that this
temperature should be attained as soon as possible after starting the engine, and then maintained. The
thermostat continues to control the flow of coolant to prevent overheating or overcooling and ensure that
the engine will operate at its most efficient temperature. Therefore the function of a thermostat is to
maintain ideal engine working temperature, which it does by controlling the rate of coolant flow through
the radiator according to engine operating conditions.
Page 19
The opening and closing of the thermostat is controlled by the temperature of the coolant in the system.
When the coolant is cold and during the ‘warm-up’ period, the thermostat remains closed and the water
pump circulates the coolant through the cylinder block and cylinder head only. As the normal operating
temperature is reached, the valve opens to allow the coolant to circulate throughout the entire system.
The thermostat is usually marked with the temperature at which the valve begins to open. A standard
temperature range used in modern engines may be in the region of 80 0C to 900C and the valve should be
fully opened at 930C. However, this range will be recommended by the manufacturers.

Training Mechanics
The Outcome-Based Training is one form of an independent learning approach. This approach
enables trainees to be master of their own environment and in charge of their learning. It is also
characterized by the integration of theory and application as two dimensions of an effective
learning process. In this program, the competence-based system is consists of a combination of
lecture-discussion, individualized learning activities, mentoring, field immersion and feedback.
In this program the trainees will be given individual learning guide to go through and
accomplish. They will be instructed through this learning guide to accomplish learning activities
as part of the mechanism for transfer of learning from the training situation to the job situation.
For each competence area, trainees will formulate a specific learning plan as a guide for
applying their learning to work setting and for their own continuing self-development. At this
point, your role as the teacher/facilitator is to guide the trainee in preparing and accomplishing
their plan.
Lecture and discussion of the topics outlined in the session plan should be performed first before
the trainees are instructed to go to the workshop. You are also required to demonstrate the
correct steps/procedures and techniques to your trainees before you let them practice. Insure that
they are practicing safely.
Most part of the training activities will be conducted in the workshop for better development of
specific skills. Aside from motivating them to relate concepts and skills to their own work
situations, make sure to provide the necessary opportunity for competence practice and better
internalization of such concepts and techniques. The trainees should also be provided the
opportunity to blend with the actual working unit in the industry.
In this system, it is important to develop a sustained relationship with the trainees through a
continued involvement, where you are to offer support, guidance and assistance as the trainee go
Page 29
through the learning activities and actual work.
With the mentoring approach, the trainees are grouped in learning teams with one facilitator-
mentor per team. Before learning session or workshop start in the morning, each team and
mentor meets to give feedback regarding their work, or how the group improves, acquire set of
skills for the members to become more effective trainees. You are also to asses them at the end
of each module. However, they have to be ready before the assessment and it should be them to
request for it.
Before the training start you should conduct an orientation session to brief the trainees on how
the training will proceed.

Assessment Context
There are two types of evaluation used in determining the extent to which learning outcomes are
achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules. In assessing them, verifiable
and observable indicators and standards shall be used.
The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of the learning
process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback regarding success or failure in
attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific learning errors that need to be corrected,
and provides reinforcement for successful performance as well. For the trainer/facilitator,
formative evaluation provides information for making instruction and remedial work more
effective.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules of the program
have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been achieved.
This will be given in the form of written test for the underpinning knowledge and demonstration
for the attitudes and skills portion. And, the result of the assessment decision shall be expressed
in the term ‘competent or not yet competent’.
These two types of evaluation form part of the training and they are considered as institutional
assessment.
