Caterpillar Products: AllIntroduction
Diesel engine manufacturers have increased engine operating temperatures to improve engine efficiency. This increase in temperature means that proper cooling system maintenance is especially important. Overheating, overcooling, pitting, cavitation-erosion, cracked heads, piston seizures, and plugged radiators are classic cooling system failures. Proper coolant selection and maintenance are your choice, and coolant is vital to successful engine service life. In fact, coolant is as important as the quality of your fuel and lubricating oil. This booklet tells the coolant story: coolant composition, contamination, and typical consequences. This booklet also offers preventive measures to help you avoid the costly effects of coolant-related failures.Note: Always check the latest Service Information for updates to ensure that the most current specifications and test procedures are used.Understanding Cooling Systems
Proper cooling system design and maintenance is an important part of the satisfactory operation and service life of an engine. Understanding how the cooling system works can help reduce owning and operating costs.Functions
The temperature of burning fuel in Caterpillar Engines can reach 1927° C (3,500° F). However, only about 33% of this total heat is converted into crankshaft horsepower. Approximately 30% is expelled through exhaust, while another 7% is radiated directly into the atmosphere from engine surfaces. The remaining 30% must be dissipated through a carefully designed cooling system. The cooling system must remove heat in order to keep the engine at the correct operating temperature. The cooling system must not remove too much heat or the engine will run cold.

Proportional amount of heat dissipated from engineIn addition to removing heat generated from fuel combustion, in some applications, the cooling system must also remove heat from other sources.Other components that transfer heat to the coolant can include the following:
transmission oil coolers
hydraulic oil coolers
aftercoolers
water-cooled exhaust manifolds
water-cooled turbocharger shields and housings
marine gear oil coolers
torque converter/retarder coolersThe cooling system has a direct effect on the operation and service life of the engine. Overheating or overcooling can result from the following conditions:
The cooling system is not the correct size
Poor maintenance of the cooling system
