Cooling System
SMCS - 1350
This engine has a pressure type cooling system. A pressure type cooling system gives two advantages. First, the
cooling system can be operated safely at a temperature that is higher than the boiling point of water. Also,
cavitation in the water pump is prevented. It is more difficult for air or steam pockets to be made in the cooling
system.

The jacket water pump (12) provides coolant to the engine oil cooler (11) and to the power train oil coolers (9)
and (10). Coolant then flows through the engine block and into the cylinder heads. From the cylinder heads, the
coolant flows into a thermostat housing (5). The thermostat then directs the coolant to either the jacket water
pump (12) for recirculation or to the radiator (4) for cooling depending on the temperature of the coolant.
Coolant then flows through the radiator with a small amount of flow of the coolant to the hydraulic oil cooler (13)
before returning the coolant to the jacket water pump (12). Also, a small amount of coolant flows to turbochargers
(3) and (8) for cooling, and then back to the shunt tank (1). Coolant from the shunt tank then flows to the jacket
water pump.
