DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Radiator
The 44 row radiator is located at the front of the vehicle in the engine compartment. The cross flow type radiator is
manufactured from aluminium with moulded plastic end tanks interconnected with tubes. The bottom four rows are
separate from the upper radiator and form the lower radiator for the fuel cooler. Aluminium fins are located
between the tubes and conduct heat from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes, reducing the coolant
temperature as it flows through the radiator. Air intake from the front of the vehicle when moving carries the heat
away from the fins. When the vehicle is stationary, the viscous fan draws air through the radiator fins to prevent
the engine from overheating.
Two connections at the top of the radiator provide for the attachment of the top hose from the outlet housing and
bleed pipe to the expansion tank. Three connections at the bottom of the radiator allow for the attachment of the
bottom hose to the thermostat housing and the return hose from the oil cooler and the feed hose to the fuel cooler.
The bottom four rows of the lower radiator are dedicated to the fuel cooler. The upper of the two connections at
the bottom of the radiator receives coolant from the oil cooler. This is fed through the four rows of the lower
radiator in a dual pass and emerges at the lower connection. The dual pass lowers the coolant temperature by up
to 24°C before being passed to the fuel cooler. Two smaller radiators are located in front of the cooling radiator.
The upper radiator is the intercooler for the air intake system and the lower radiator provides cooling of the
gearbox oil.
Pipes and Hoses
The coolant circuit comprises flexible hoses and metal formed pipes which direct the coolant into and out of the
engine, radiator and heater matrix. Plastic pipes are used for the bleed and overflow pipes to the expansion tank.
A bleed screw is installed in the radiator top hose and is used to bleed air during system filling. A drain plug to
drain the heater and cylinder block circuit of coolant is located on the underside of the coolant pump feed pipe.
Oil Cooler
The oil cooler is located on the left hand side of the engine block behind the oil centrifuge and oil filter. Oil from the
oil pump is passed through a heat exchanger which is surrounded by coolant in a housing on the side of the
engine.
Full water pump flow is directed along the cooler housing which also distributes the flow evenly along the block
into three core holes for cylinder cooling. This cools the engine oil before it is passed into the engine. A small
percentage of the coolant from the oil cooler passes into a metal pipe behind the engine. It then flows into the
lower radiator via a hose.
Fuel Cooler
The fuel cooler is located on the right hand side of the engine and is attached to the inlet manifold. The cooler is
cylindrical in design and has a coolant feed connection at its forward end. A’T’connection at the rear of the cooler
provides a connection for the coolant return from the heater matrix and coolant return from the fuel cooler.
The’T’connection houses a thermostat which opens at approximately 82°C. This prevents the cooler operating in
cold climates. Two quick release couplings on the cooler allow for the connection of the fuel feed from the
pressure regulator and return to the fuel tank. A counter flow system is used within the cooler.
Fuel flows around a coolant jacket within the cooler and flows from the back to the front of the cooler. As the hot
fuel cools travelling slowly forwards it meets progressively colder coolant travelling in the opposite direction
maintaining a differential cooling effect.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION At low radiator temperatures, the fan operation is not required and the bi-metallic coil keeps the valve closed,
separating the silicone fluid from the drive plate. This allows the fan to’freewheel’reducing the load on the engine,
improving fuel consumption and reducing noise generated by the rotation of the fan.
When the radiator temperature increases, the bi-metallic coil reacts and moves the valve, allowing silicone fluid to
flow into the fluid chamber. The resistance to shear of the silicone fluid creates drag on the drive plate and
provides drive to the body and the fan blades.

COOLING SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OPERATION
Coolant Flow - Engine Warm Up
During warm up the coolant pump moves fluid through the cylinder block and it emerges from the outlet housing.
From the outlet housing, the warm coolant flow is prevented from flowing through the upper and lower radiators
because both thermostats are closed. The coolant is directed into the heater circuit.
Some coolant from the by-pass pipe can pass through small sensing holes in the flow valve. The warm coolant
enters a tube in the thermostat housing and surrounds 90% of the thermostat sensitive area. Cold coolant
returning from the radiator bottom hose conducts through 10% of the thermostat sensitive area. In cold ambient
temperatures the engine temperature can be raised by up to 10°C (50°F) to compensate for the heat loss of the
10% exposure to the cold coolant return from the radiator bottom hose.
At engine speeds below 1500 rev/min, the by-pass valve is closed only allowing the small flow through the sensing
holes. As the engine speed increases above 1500 rev/min, the greater flow and pressure from pump overcomes
the light spring and opens the by-pass flow valve. The flow valve opens to meet the engine’s cooling needs at
higher engine speeds and prevents excess pressure in the cooling system. With both thermostats closed,
maximum flow is directed through the heater circuit.
The heater matrix acts as a heat exchanger reducing the coolant temperature as it passes through the matrix.
Coolant emerges from the heater matrix and flows to the fuel cooler’T’connection via the heater return hose.
From the fuel cooler the coolant is directed into the coolant pump feed pipe and recirculated around the heater
circuit. In this condition the cooling system is operating at maximum heater performance.
Coolant Flow - Engine Hot
As the coolant temperature increases the main thermostat opens. This allows some coolant from the outlet
housing to flow through the top hose and into the radiator to be cooled. The hot coolant flows from the left tank in
the radiator, along the tubes to the right tank. The air flowing through the fins between the tubes cools the coolant
as it passes through the radiator.
A controlled flow of the lower temperature coolant is drawn by the pump and blended with hot coolant from the
by-pass and the heater return pipes in the pump feed pipe. The pump then passes this coolant, via the cylinder
block, to the oil cooler housing, cooling the engine oil before entering the block to cool the cylinders.
When the fuel temperature increases, the heat from the fuel conducts through the fuel cooler’T’connection and
causes the fuel thermostat to open. Coolant from the cylinder block flows through the oil cooler and via a pipe and
hose enters the lower radiator. The lower temperature coolant from the oil cooler housing is subjected to an
additional two passes through the lower radiator to further reduce the coolant temperature. From the lower radiator
the coolant flows , via a hose, to the fuel cooler.
As the hot fuel cools, travelling slowly forwards through the cooler, it meets the progressively colder coolant
travelling in the opposite direction from the lower radiator.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
General
The diesel engine has the inlet manifold attached to the right hand side of the engine and the exhaust manifold
attached to the left hand side of the engine. The inlet manifold directs cooled compressed air from the
turbocharger and intercooler into the cylinders, where it is mixed with fuel from the injectors. Exhaust gases from
the exhaust manifold can also be directed into the inlet manifold via a pipe from the exhaust manifold and an
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve on the inlet manifold. The exhaust manifold allows combustion gases from
the cylinders to leave the engine where they are directed into the exhaust system and turbocharger.
The exhaust system is attached to the turbocharger and is directed along the underside of the vehicle to emit
exhaust gases from a tail pipe at the rear of the vehicle. A silencer is installed midway along the system and a
second tail silencer is located at the rear of the vehicle.
Inlet manifold
The inlet manifold is a one piece aluminium casting. The manifold is secured to the cylinder head with two studs
and flanged nuts and eight flanged bolts. A one piece laminated gasket seals the manifold to the cylinder head.
Four threaded bosses on the manifold provide for the attachment of the fuel cooler. The fuel cooler is secured to
the manifold with four bolts. A boss with two threaded holes allows for the attachment of the combined intake air
temperature/pressure sensor. The sensor is secured to the manifold with two screws and sealed with a gasket.
At the forward end of the manifold, a machined face and four threaded holes provide for the attachment of the
EGR valve. The valve is sealed to the manifold with a gasket.
Exhaust manifold
The exhaust manifold is made from cast iron. The manifold has five ports, one from each cylinder, which merge
into one flanged outlet connection positioned centrally on the manifold.
The manifold is attached to the cylinder head with ten studs and flanged nuts. A laminated metal gasket seals the
manifold to the cylinder head. The flanged outlet on the manifold provides the attachment for the turbocharger,
which is attached with three studs and flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket.
A second flanged outlet, located at the forward end of the manifold, provides attachment for the EGR pipe. The
EGR pipe is secured to the manifold with two cap screws and connected to the EGR valve mounted on the inlet
manifold. There is no gasket used between the pipe and the exhaust manifold.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system comprises a front pipe, an intermediate pipe which incorporates a silencer and a tail pipe
assembly which also has a silencer. The exhaust system is constructed mainly of 63 mm (2.48 in) diameter
extruded pipe with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness. All pipes are aluminized to resist corrosion and the silencers
are fabricated from stainless steel sheet.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Front pipe assembly
The front pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. The front pipe is connected to a flange on the
turbocharger and secured with three flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket. The front pipe
incorporates a flexible pipe near the connection with the turbocharger and terminates in a flanged connection with
the intermediate pipe.
The flexible pipe is formed into a concertina shape with woven metal strands around its outer diameter. The
flexible pipe allows for ease of exhaust system alignment and also absorbs engine vibration. The woven metal
strands also increase the longevity of the flexible pipe.
The front pipe is attached via a bracket and a mounting rubber to the chassis. The mounting rubber allows ease of
alignment and vibration absorption.
Intermediate pipe and silencer
The intermediate pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. It connects at its forward end to the front
pipe flange. Two captive studs on the intermediate pipe flange allow for attachment to the front pipe with locknuts.
The rear section of intermediate pipe connects to the tail pipe assembly via a flanged joint, sealed with a metal
gasket and secured with locknuts and studs.
The forward and rear sections are joined by a silencer. The silencer is fabricated from stainless steel sheet to form
the body of the silencer. An end plate closes each end of the silencer and is attached to the body with seam joints.
Perforated baffle tubes, inside the silencer, are connected to the inlet and outlet pipes on each end plate. Internal
baffle plates support the baffle tubes and, together with a stainless steel fibre packing, absorb combustion noise
as the exhaust gases pass through the silencer.
The intermediate pipe is attached by two brackets, positioned at each end of the silencer, and two mounting
rubbers to the chassis. The mounting rubber allows for ease of alignment and vibration absorption.
Tail pipe assembly
The tail pipe is of welded and fabricated construction. The tail pipe connects to the intermediate pipe with a
flanged joint secured with locknuts and sealed with a metal gasket. The pipe is shaped to locate above the rear
axle allowing clearance for axle articulation. The pipe is also curved to clear the left hand side of the fuel tank
which has a reflective shield to protect the tank from heat generated from the pipe.
A fabricated silencer is located at the rear of the tail pipe. The silencer is circular in section and is constructed from
stainless steel sheet. A baffle tube is located inside the silencer and the space around the baffle tube is packed
with a stainless steel fibre. The holes in the baffle tube allow the packing to further reduce combustion noise from
the engine. The tail pipe from the silencer is curved downwards at the rear of the vehicle and directs exhaust
gases towards the ground. The curved pipe allows the exhaust gases to be dissipated by the airflow under the
vehicle and prevents the gases from being drawn behind the vehicle.
The tail pipe is attached by a bracket, positioned forward of the silencer, and a mounting rubber to the chassis.
The mounting rubber allows ease of alignment and vibration absorption.
