ENGINE CORROSION CAVITATION CORROSION/EROSION LINER PITTING Modern high speed diesel engines contain cast iron replacement cylinder liners that are subject to accelerated corrosion due to a process commonly known as liner pitting. When plain water is used as a coolant, liners can be penetrated in a matter of 500 hours of operation when conditions are severe. It is important to understand the causes of this liner pitting and how to prevent it.
ENGINE CORROSION THE EFFECT OF ENGINE CONDITIONS ON LINER PITTING The formation of bubbles in coolant during cavitation corrosion/erosion is very similar to the way bubbles are formed when boiling water. Remember how water in a pressure cooker boils at a higher temperature because of the higher pressure? In the same way, anything that affects the local pressure or the local temperature around the liners will impact on the ease with which bubbles are formed and will effect the potential for liner pitting.
Page 66
ENGINE CORROSION The problem only gets worse in construction/mining fleets where cooling system capacities can vary from 5 to over 100 gallons. Coolant leakage can really cause a problem when using automotive antifreeze plus SCA. Typically the system is topped off with antifreeze and water and no thought is given to the SCA concentration.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE NOTE: Its the customer's responsibility to follow all steps of air filter maintenance every 200 hours or every engine oil change. Low pre-cleaner efficiency will cause short element life. Low pre-cleaning efficiency can be caused by: 1. Leaking dust cup to air cleaner body joint;...
