2.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, COOLING SYSTEM

From the delivery side of the water pump (1), the 

coolant is directed to the cylinder block (2) via an 

opening at the back of the coolant pump.

The coolant flows through the cylinder block up to 

the cylinder heads (3).

The coolant leaves the cylinder heads through 

the coolant collector pipe (4) (A), which takes it to 

the thermostat housing (5).

If an intarder (13) or automatic gearbox (13) is 

fitted, the coolant leaving the cylinder heads flows 

via the coolant collector pipe (4) (B) to the intarder 

or the automatic gearbox.

From the intarder or automatic gearbox, the 

coolant then flows via the coolant collector pipe 

(B) to the thermostat housing (5).

Depending on the coolant temperature, the 

thermostat distributes the coolant flow to the 

radiator (6) or back to the coolant pump (1).

The coolant transported to the radiator enters the 

radiator at the top, and leaves the radiator at the 

bottom.

From the bottom of the radiator, the coolant is 

returned to the coolant pump, via the coolant 

return pipe.

The header tank (7) has four connections. On the 

top of the radiator, there is a bleed pipe which is 

linked to connection 3 of the header tank.

Connections 1 and 2 of the header tank are linked 

to the coolant collector pipe by bleed pipes. If no 

intarder or automatic gearbox is fitted, one of the 

connections will be sealed.

Connection 4 enables siphoning of the coolant 

between the header tank and the engine when 

the coolant temperature increases.

Connection 4 is linked together with the heater 

return pipe to the coolant return pipe leading to 

the coolant pump.

From the cylinder block, some of the coolant 

flows through the oil cooler (8). From the oil 

cooler, the coolant returns to the coolant pump 

through a pipe via the coolant return pipe.

From the cylinder block, some of the coolant 

flows through the air compressor (9). From the air 

compressor, the coolant returns to the coolant 

pump via a pipe.

From the coolant collector pipe, a pipe runs to the 

cab heater (11). The heater return pipe is linked 

together with the header tank pipe to the coolant 

return pipe leading to the coolant pump.

If a cab heater (15) s fitted, a non-return valve 

(10) is fitted in the heater supply pipe. It has two 

connections. Connection (1) is for the cab heater 

supply pipe. Connection (2) is for the cab heater 

discharge pipe.

Note:

Fit the non-return valve with the arrow pointing in 

the flow direction of the coolant.
