Def Tank Coolant Supply Lines - Perkins 1200F Series Supplement Manual

2.10 DEF tank coolant supply lines

•
Only the designated coolant supply and return ports on the engine may be used as detailed
in section 5.2.1
•
The correct hose fittings must be used to connect to the engine; ref section 5.2.1
•
The correct hose fittings must be used to match the DEF coolant valve; ref section 5.2.1
•
Reinforced hose must be used to minimise expansion when system is pressurised
•
To achieve adequate thaw of the DEF tank a minimum of 2l/min coolant flow and temp of
80°C temp must be maintained. To ensure sufficient flow the following requirements must
be met:
•
The total length of the coolant hoses (supply and return from tank) must be less than
8m, including a maximum of two 90° hose fittings.
•
Use connectors and hoses with ID 16mm (5/8").
•
The maximum volume of coolant in the DEF tank coolant supply line must be such that:
For a Portrait tank
+ 0.4
CV (
litres)
For a Landscape tank
CV ( + 0.6
litres)
Where
CV =
RV =
•
The coolant lines must:
•
Be properly supported
•
Not impose stress on the mating connectors
•
Recommend support 150mm-250mm max from end connectors
•
Be secured such as to avoid abrasion with touching surfaces
•
Have minimal bends
•
The coolant temperature drop (delta) between engine coolant temperature sensor and DEF
tank temperature sensor must not exceed 10°C.

minimum level in the coolant header tank added to the volume of coolant in
the fill line as shown in the diagram below.
