GENERAL

The cooling system employed is of the pressure relief by-pass type, which allows coolant to circulate around the engine and the heater circuit while the thermostat main valve is closed. The primary function of the cooling system is to maintain the engine within an optimum temperature range under changing ambient and engine operating conditions. Secondary functions are to provide heating for the passenger compartment and cooling for the transmission fluid and engine oil.

The cooling system comprises

1. A cooling module including common radiator, condenser, transmission oil cooler with additional charge air radiator
2. A passenger compartment heater matrix
3. An engine driven coolant pump
4. An electric coolant pump
5. A thermostat
6. An expansion tank
7. An electro-viscous cooling fan
8. Transmission oil pipes
9. Engine oil coolers
10. Connecting hoses and pipes.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

A centrifugal pump mounted on the front of the engine and driven by an ancillary drive 'polyvee' belt circulates the coolant. The engine driven coolant pump circulates coolant through the cylinder block and cylinder heads via a chamber located in the 'vee' of the engine. Having passed through the engine the coolant returns to the thermostat housing. The coolant then progresses down the 'top hose' to the heater pipe. The heater pipes lead to the bulkhead and return to the engine side of the thermostat.

The engine contains a normal thermostat, which is positioned such that the wax's temperature is controlled by both the coolant from the radiator and the bypass. This results in the thermostat being able to vary its opening temperature dependant on ambient conditions. The thermostat housing also contains a sprung loaded valve, which limits the amount flow using the bypass. This means that the engine can run without coolant flowing through the bypass temporarily, to improve heater performance.

The engine radiator is a cross flow type with an aluminium matrix and has a drain tap on the lower right-hand rear face. There is an additional charge air radiator, located in front of the engine radiator, to support the water charge air coolers on the engine.

Scheme 37

The coolant for the charge air cooling is driven by an electric pump at constant speed and is mounted on the engine radiator end tank. This circuit shares the engine coolant via a vortex connection, in the engine to radiator hose. The lower engine radiator mountings are located part way up the end tanks. The mountings are fitted with rubber bushes, which sit on the upper chassis rails. The radiator upper is mounted by pins, which are pushed through rubber bushes mounted in the Front End Carrier (FEC) above the radiator. The radiator also incorporates two connections for the transmission oil pipes.

The top and bottom hoses are mounted to the inlet and outlet sides of the thermostat housing.

The expansion tank is fitted forward of the LH suspension turret in the engine compartment. The expansion tank allows for the expansion of the coolant as the engine gets hot and also supplies the engine with coolant as the coolant in the engine contracts. The tank also allows any air trapped in the coolant to be removed.

The liquid cooled transmission fluid cooler is mounted in the cold side radiator end tank. It is positioned in the middle of the LH end tank.

There are two engine oil coolers working in parallel. The first engine oil cooler is fed coolant from the bottom hose. Coolant is diverted from between the radiator and the thermostat, directed to the cooler and then returned to the bottom hose. The second engine oil cooler is cooled by air and is mounted in front of the RH front wheel.

For additional airflow through the radiator matrix, particularly when the vehicle is stationary, there is an engine driven electro-viscous unit. This unit functions as a normal viscous fan, but with electronic control over the level engagement of the clutch. The Engine Control Module (ECM), which determines the required fan speed, controls the level of clutch engagement. The ECM determines engagement based on the coolant, ambient and transmission oil temperatures and air conditioning (A/C) system pressure. The fan is mounted using a left hand thread.

The viscous fan unit is electronically controlled by the ECM to optimise fan speed for all operating conditions.

Note. If the electrical connections to the viscous fan are disconnected the fan will 'idle' and overheating may result. The ECM stores the appropriate fault codes in this case.

Scheme 38

When the engine is running the coolant pump is driven by the ancillary drive belt. This forces coolant to circulate around the engine and heater, while the thermostat and bypass valve are shut. As the temperature and pressure increases the bypass valve is forced open allowing coolant to circulate through the bypass valve. When the temperature reaches 82°C (180°F) the main thermostat begins to open allowing coolant to circulate through the main radiator. As the thermostat progressively opens (fully open at 95°C (203°F)), the bypass valve progressively closes forcing any coolant through the heater or radiator. Once coolant is allowed to circulate through the radiator, the transmission fluid and the engine oil coolers begin to receive coolant flow.

The increased coolant volume, created by heat expansion, is directed to the expansion tank through a bleed hose from the top of the radiator. The expansion tank has an outlet hose, which is connected into the coolant circuit. This outlet hose returns the coolant to the system when the engine cools.

Coolant flows through the radiator from the top right hand tank to the bottom left hand tank and is cooled by air passing through the matrix. The temperature of the cooling system is monitored by the ECM via the Engine Coolant temperature (ECT) sensor located in the cylinder head. The ECM uses signals from this sensor to control the cooling fan operation and adjust fuelling according to engine temperature.

For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls .

To control the cooling fan, the ECM sends a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal to the cooling fan module (integral to the ECM). The frequency of the PWM signal is used by the cooling fan module to determine the output voltage supplied to the fan motor.

The ECM varies the duty cycle of the PWM signal between 0 and 100% to vary the fan speed. If the PWM signal is outside the 0 to 100% range, the cooling fan module interprets the signal as an open or short circuit and runs the fans at maximum speed to ensure the engine and gearbox do not overheat.

The ECM operates the fan in response to inputs from the ECT sensor, the transmission oil temperature sensor, the A/C switch and the A/C pressure sensor.

For additional information, refer to: AIR CONDITIONING .

The speed of the cooling fan is also influenced by vehicle road speed. The ECM adjusts the speed of the cooling fans, to compensate for the ram effect of vehicle speed, using the Controller Area Network (CAN) road speed signal received from the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module.
