Engine Cooling
- Engine Cooling
Descr
i
ption and Operation
Engine Cooling Comp onents - Normally Aspirated Vehicles

Engine cooling is via a low volume, high velocity system which achieves a very fast warm up. The temperature of the
combustion chambers is reduced along with a more even temperature distribution. The temperature of the bores is increased.

F r
om the pump, coolant flows into each bank of the cylinder bl
ock. In each bank, approximately 50% of the coolant cools the
cylinder bores and the remainder is diverted th rough the bypass gallery to the cylinder head.
With the thermostat closed, coolant returns directly to the pump through the bypass on the thermostat housing.
With the thermostat open, coolant returns to the pump via the radiator.
The cooling system uses a mixture of water and Jaguar Anti-Freeze/Inhibitor (Dow 542).
The cooling system on a supercharged engine is similar, but has additional components for cooling the intake air.

T
he cooling system for the supercharged engine is very similar
to the normally aspirated engine, but with the addition of a
water cooled, intake air charge cooling system. This comprises a radiator, an electrically operated water pump and two
charge air cooler assemblies (heat exchangers) - one for each bank. The system works independently, but is connected to the
main cooling system at the bottom hose to allow for therma l expansion and to help to prevent unwanted circulation.
The condenser for the air conditioning system fits between th e coolant main radiator and the charge air cooling system
radiator.

combin
ed with the outlet duct and consequently, there is no separate housin
g assembly fitted above the water pump, as used
on the normally aspirated engine. The illustration shows the outlet duct viewed from the engine.
Thermostat Housing

The plastic housing for the thermostat is fitted between th e two cylinder banks immediately above the coolant pump.
Controlling the coolant flow through the radiator, the thermostat starts to open at 80 ° to 84 °C and is fully open at 96 °C.
A duct in the cylinder block connects the thermostat housing outlet to the coolant pump inlet. The joint between the
thermostat housing and the cylinder block is via an in-groove seal.
An air bleed outlet vents an y air in the system into the expansion reservoir, durin
g normal operation. A removable cap (usin g
a hex key) allows air to vent from the system when filling from empty.
On supercharged engines, the thermostat housin g is combined with the coolant outlet duct.
