04 COOLING WATER SYSTEM
Cooling water circulation in cylinder head
HT water to the cylinder head comes from the cylinder liner,
flows around the exhaust valve seat rings and fuel injection
nozzle and continues upwards from the cylinder head water
space to the return pipe.
The seat cooling circuit cools the exhaust valve seats and
valves against thermal load.
Components
01 Exhaust valve seat ring
02 Inlet valve seat ring
04 Fuel injection nozzle
05 Center sleeve
Connections
A Cooling water from cylinder liner
