Cooling water system The fresh water cooling system is divided into a high tempe

rature (HT) and a low temperature (LT) circuit. The HT-water cools cylinder line
rs, cylinder heads and the first stage of the charge air cooler. The LT-water co
ols the second stage of the charge air cooler and the lubricating oil.
The fresh water cooling system is divided into a high temperature (HT) and a low
temperature (LT) circuit. The HT water circulates through cylinder jackets, cyl
inder heads and the 1st stage of the charge air cooler, if the engine is equippe
d with a two-stage charge air cooler. V-engines are equipped with a two-stage ch
arge air cooler, while in-line engines have a single-stage charge air cooler.
A two-stage charge air cooler enables more efficient heat recovery and heating o
f cold combustion air. The LT water circulates through the charge air cooler and
the lubricating oil cooler, which is built on the engine.
Temperature control valves regulate the temperature of the water out from the en
gine, by circulating some water back to the cooling water pump inlet. The HT tem
perature control valve is always mounted on the engine, while theLT temperature
control valve can be either onthe engine or separate. Ininstallations where the
engines operate on MDF only it is possible to install the LT temperature control
valve in the external system and thus control the LT water temperature before t
he engine.
