Coolant is pumped by the coolant pump (1) up through the oil cooler (3) , which is screwed directly to
the engine block inside the coolant shroud side cover, and is completely surrounded by coolant.
Some of the coolant is then forced to the cylinder liners' lower cooling jackets via holes (2) , while the
majority is forced onward through the holes (4) to the liners' upper cooling jackets.
The coolant then flows to the cylinder head via channels (5) .
Coolant then flows through the thermostat (6) , which directs the coolant via the radiator or via the
pipe (7) back to the coolant pump.
The route the coolant takes depends on the coolant temperature.
The air compressor (8) and the gearbox cooling are connected via external pipes and hoses to the
return line to the suction side of the pump

The coolant circulation thermostat is of piston type and has a temperature sensitive wax body, which
regulates opening and closing.
Tech data
Thermostat, temperature at start of opening 82 ±2 ℃
(A) : Thermostat is closed state (cold engine)
(B) : Thermostat in open state (hot engine)
(C) : The coolant pump housing is made of aluminium (1) . The channels used to distribute the
coolant are located at the rear of the pump, while the front contains the plastic rotor (2) , the shaft
seal (3) , the bearing (4) and the pulley (5) . The shaft bearing is made up of permanently lubricated
rollers. There is a ventilated space (6) between the shaft seal and the bearing, which opens behind
the pulley (7) . The part behind the pump (8) is attached to the engine block by bolts.

Dried coolant residue may form around the weep hole. Coolant residue build up is a normal function
of the coolant pump and does not require replacement of the engine coolant pump.

There is also a variant with integrated fan ring cooling available. Warm air flows from the air
compressor through the inlet (1) and then through the air channel inside the fan ring. The cooled air
flows out through the outlet (2) to the APM (Air Production Modulator).
