Cooling System On Engines: Volvo Construction Equipment

The document discusses the cooling system of Volvo construction equipment engines. It consists of a radiator, make up line, deaeration tank or expansion tank, pressure cap, and water pump. It is important to use the proper concentration of coolant, which is a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. Using coolant provides superior corrosion protection compared to water alone and helps prevent overheating. Volvo coolant specifically protects against corrosion, reduces sludge deposits and water pump wear, lowers the risk of cavitation damage, and allows the cooling system to maintain a higher boiling point.

Cooling System
Very Often, anti- freeze coolant is neglected in the cooling
system.
A proper coolant concentration is needed to protect against corrosion in the cooling
system. If the concentration is too low, rust and corrosion can take place inside the
cooling system and lead to water pump failure. Scale build up can lead to hot spots on
cylinder walls that can cause pistons to scuff or score. Rust and corrosion can also
cause erosion damage to the aluminium parts of the engine and may result in
expensive repairs.
The recommended coolant concentration is a 50/50 mix of coolant with water. The
maximum acceptable coolant system concentration is. The minimum concentration
should not go below 40 percent to be effective.
Customers thought that their machines do not need anti-freeze in tropical area & use
anti rust or water only. However, anti freeze provided better anti corrosion than anti
rust. It also provided other protections which you see in the next slide.

VOLVO COOLANT
• Provides Superior Corrosion Protection, Reduce Sludge Deposits &
Water Pump Wear.
• Reduces The Risk Of Cavitations.
• Reduced Precipitation In The Presence Of Hard Water.
• With Correct Mixture Of Coolant, Boiling Point In Cooling
System Is Increased.

Wear.

Volvo Coolant is a Glycol high performance coolant that contains unique


corrosion inhibitors, which are different from anything else on the market.
Volvo Coolant is extremely superior to conventional coolants which you find
commonly in the markets, which use silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites,
and amine additives to eliminate corrosion. These additives are abrasive to
water pump seals, and silicates are especially unstable and drop out of
solution and form a gel after time.
The anti-rust and anti-corrosion inhibitors prevent sediment build up and
premature cooling system component failures

Reduces The Risk Of Cavitations.


Cavitation is erosion that occurs on the outside diameter of the cylinder wall, and can happen if vapour bubbles
form in the cooling system and attach to the wall.
Every time the pistons move up and down, they rock in the bore, causing the cylinder wall to vibrate. Vapour
bubbles can form on the outside of the cylinder wall as it moves inward, or away from the coolant, creating a low-
pressure area. When the cylinder wall moves outward, or into the coolant, the pressure increases on the vapour
bubbles. After many cycles, vapour bubbles continue to form and the pressure on the bubbles increases until,
finally, a vapour bubble collapses. When this happens, it creates a localized stress area of more than 50,000 psi.
The high pressure and heat created by the implosion removes a small amount of cylinder wall material where the
vapour bubble was attached. Over time, the cylinder wall can continue to erode, and eventually may form a pinhole
in the wall that allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber, leading to possible engine failure.

You can protect your diesel engine from cavitations by adding the proper amount of Volvo Coolant to cooling
system. When used properly, Volvo Coolant provides anti-foam protection as well as prevent cavitations, scale
and general corrosion. Volvo Coolant work to prevent cavitations by forming a protective coating on the cooling
system surfaces. This coating will provide a barrier between the cylinder wall and the vapour bubbles. The vapour
bubble implosions erode protective coating instead of the cylinder wall.

Reduced Precipitation In The Presence Of Hard Water.

In Some job sites, the water is generally very hard with high
concentrations of minerals. We recommend coolants with
little or no phosphates. The phosphates can react with the
magnesium and calcium salts in hard water, which can form
solids. These solids can wear erode seals or clog narrow
cooling passages. Additional Volvo Coolant filters will also
help to reduce clogging of cooling passages.
