Page 37: Freshwater System
In its standard version, the engine is fitted with an internal freshwater system. Volvo Penta also supply engines with the cooling system prepared for external cooling, e.g. keel cooling. -
Page 38: Coolant (Anti-Corrosion Mixture). Topping Up 1)
Maintenance: Freshwater system Anti-freeze mixture When there is risk of freezing, a mixture of 50% Volvo Penta anti-freeze (glycol) and 50% water (complying with ASTM D4985) must be used. This mixture will protect against freezing down to approx. –40°C (–40°F) and is to be used all year round. - Page 39 Maintenance: Freshwater system Coolant level. Check WARNING! Never open the pressure cap when the engine is warm. Steam or hot fluid may spurt out. IMPORTANT! Check the coolant level on a cold stationary engine. Make sure the coolant level is approx. 5 cm (2") below the sealing surface of the filling cap.
- Page 40 Maintenance: Freshwater system 5. When coolant that is free from air flows out, the ventilation cocks must be closed. 6. Cease filling when the correct level is attained. 7. Start the engine and run it until it reaches operat- ing temperature. IMPORTANT! The engine must not be start- ed before the system has been bled and filled.
- Page 41 Maintenance: Freshwater system Freshwater system. Flushing The system should be flushed before changing cool- ant to avoid inferior cooling performance due to de- posits in the cooling system. IMPORTANT! Certain parts of the system are made of light alloy. Chemical additives must therefore not be used when cleaning.
- Page 42 Maintenance: Freshwater system Cooling system, external cooling Introduction A cooling system with external cooling does not have a heat exchanger but is cooled by heat being transferred via one or two external cooling circuits. A single circuit system serves all the components being cooled. A dual circuit system has either two freshwater circuits or one freshwater circuit together with one seawater circuit.
- Page 43 Maintenance: Freshwater system Coolant. Filling WARNING! Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before filling. Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns. Topping up Fill with coolant to the correct level through the filler opening (1) on the expansion tank. Fill slowly so that the evacuated air is able to pass through the filler opening.
- Page 44 Maintenance: Freshwater system Coolant. Drain WARNING! Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before draining. Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns. WARNING! Glycol is a health hazard (poison). Collect the old coolant and leave it to a destruc- tion plant.
