The cooling system operates with overpressure and this allows the boiling point of the coolant to be higher. To ensure that there is no loss of coolant because of the increase in volume when heated, there is an ‘expansion tank which also operates asa vent in the cooling system. The cooling system consists of: Radiator with expansion tank and pressure cap Oil cooler for engine lubrication oil ‘Temperature gauge and level indicator (not standard) . Fan and coolant pump.

From the oil cooler the coolant enters the coolant gallery of the cylinder block, up round the each cylinder head to an external coolant manifold with its front end connected to the thermostat housing. With liquid cooled exhaust manifold the entire coolant flow is routed from the coolant manifold to and through the exhaust manifold and then to the thermostat housing, which is then fitted to the front end of the liquid cooled exhaust manifold. service 2-890427 MEN Coolant filter Oil cooler Coolant pump For electric engine heater By pass line and static line Froom cooler 7.

Coolant is also pumped direct to the cylinder heads from the distribution passage via passages directed towards injectors and exhaust valves. From the rear cylinder head coolant flows forward tothe front and out from the engine direct into the thermostat housing on the right side of the front cylinder head. With liquid cooled exhaust manifold the coolant flow in the engine is to the rear only and the entire coolant flow is ducted to the exhaust manifold from the rear cylinder head. Coolant then flows forward in the coolant jacket of the exhaust manifold to the thermostat housing, which is fitted to the front part of the exhaust manifold.

The tubes are inserted through fins of thin copper plate to make the heat dissipation ability of the radiator as good as possible. The right radiator tank (radiator inlet) is connected to the engine thermostat housing, For location of ‘thermostat housing, see pages 4 and 5. The left radiator tank (radiator outlet) is, together with the by-pass line, connected to the coolant pump suction side. ‘The expansion tank is located above the ra ‘and has a filler pipe with cap. The cap has valve that opens at a certain overpressure. When the engine cools off after it has been stopped and the pressure has dropped the valve opens at a certain underpressure to equalize the pressure difference. ;nsion tank has also a direct connection, ic line, with the coolant pump suction side. This line provides for reduced underpressure in the jet and thereby reduces the risk of cavi- tation in the pump. When the thermostat opens, coolant is ducted to. ‘the lower right part of the radiator to then flow upwards and horizontally through the radiator 1. Expansion tank 2. Radiator core 3. Drain tap 4.

The 9-litre engine is equipped with coolant filter as standard, The filter consists of a mantle, filter insert and corrosion inhibitors made of pressed powder (anti- corrosive). Coolant flows into the container between the ‘mantle and filter, through the filter and past the corrosion inhibitors which are dissolved by the coolant and carried out in the cooling system, thereby protecting the engine against corrosion. FAN The engines are available with two different types of fan, either suction or pressure type. There are four standard sizes. With a suction type fan better distribution over the radiator core is obtained with a short distance (100- 150 mm) between fan and radiator. This also results in higher cooling efficiency than with the pressure type fan. The cooling capacity of a pressure type fan can be improved by increasing the distance between fan and radiator.

Container 2 Filter insert 3.Corrosion inhibitor Coolant filter To increase the efficiency of the fan a close-fitting fan ring can be installed round the fan. There is also a fan cowling between the radiator and fan ring to force air to the fan to pass through the radiator. Radiator capacity is affected by radiator size, fan diameter and speed. The size of the fan and speed also affects the power requirement and noise level. ig] Air flow through radiator with suction type fan 7 ‘COOLANT PUMP, 11 ENGINES The coolant pump is located at the front of the engine and is driven by drive belts from the crank- shaft pulley. ‘The pump is of centrifugal type and consists of a spiral shaped pump housing with an impeller direct, ‘on the drive shaft. The shaft has two permanently lubricated ball bearings. The pump shaft bearing is sealed against coolant witha spring loaded axial seal. COOLANT PUMP, 14 ENGINES The coolant pump is fitted on the timing gear housing of the engine. Itis driven via a gear from the camshaft gear. The pump is of centrifugal type and consists of a spiral shaped pump housing with an impeller direct ‘on the drive shaft. The shaft runsin two ball bearings which are splash lubricated from the ‘timing gear housing. ‘The pump shaft bearing is sealed against coolant with a spring loaded axial seal. THERMOSTAT AND THERMOSTAT HOUSING Industrial engines without liquid cooled exhaust manifold have double thermostats. The thermostat housing is fitted on the front part of the engine: engine: ‘The thermostat housing is placed horizontally on top of the timing gear housing and has external connections only. L1engine: The thermostat housing is connected to the coolant, outlet in the front cylinder head with an internal bby.pass to the suction side of the pump. 8 © Saab-Scame AB, Scania Division Service, (917) 1989. — SA KX iN 1.

The indicator consists of a level sensor fitted in the right radiator tank when 1-pole and externally between expansion tank and radiator when 2-pole, see figure. Itis connected via a relay to a warning light on the instrument panel. If the coolant level has dropped that much that the level sensor is not surrounded by coolant, the relay switches on the warning light. Lpole level indicator: The relay has some delay to avoid that the light flashes when the coolant surges in the radiator. How the level indicator is wired is described in the installation instructions for the electrics. ee ee ee ee eee ee Sr ee fee e Location for 1-pole level sensor Location for 2-pole level sensor 10 © Saab-Scania AB, Scania Diusion Service, (917) 1989 2-890427 MEN CHARGE COOLER turbocharged engines. This feature operates according to either of two principles: (see type designation) DSI: coolant to air (not available for 9 engine) air to air (9 engines only in truck and bus execution) Dsc: The power that may be utilized from the engine is determined, for instance, by the amount of air and fuel supplied to the engine. Cold air is denser and contains more oxygen per volumetric unit. The charge air temperatire is raised when it passes the turbocharger. If the airis subsequently chilled in a charge cooler, the air becomes denser and more oxygen is supplied to the engine. This allows more fuel to be combusted. The sum total of this is boosted output and torque. The chilled air reduces the combustion temperature and also the temperature of the parts affected by the combustion, resulting in less thermal stresses and strains in spite of increased output. DSI engines - COOLANT TO AIR By making the coolant pass an integral cooler package in the intake manifold the compressed air is chilled. S111: Coolant to the charge cooler is taken from the block just after the coolant pump and is ducted to the upper part of the charge cooler. Coolant flows through the cooler to the rear and then forward and out through the bottom connection. ‘The return line is connected to the line between the cil cooler and suction side of the pump. DS114: Coolant to the charge cooler is taken from ‘the front of the block just after the coolant pump and is ducted via a common line to the charge coolers where it flows through the coolers to the rear and then forward in a common line to the by-pass in the timing gear housing. 1.
