COOLING SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-1-5
Description
General
The cooling system used on the Diesel engine is a pressure relief by-pass type system which allows coolant to
circulate around the engine block and heater circuit when the thermostat is closed. With coolant not passing through
the by-pass or the radiator promotes faster heater warm-up which in turn improves passenger comfort.
A coolant pump is mounted on a casting behind the PAS pump and is driven from the PAS pump at crankshaft speed
by the auxiliary drive belt. The pump mounting casting connects with passages in the cylinder block and pumps
coolant from the radiator through the cylinder block.
A viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine. The fan is attached to a threaded spigot on the
pulley with a left hand threaded nut. The fan draws air through the radiator to assist in cooling when the vehicle is
stationary. The fan rotational speed is controlled relative to the running temperature of the engine by a thermostatic
valve regulated by a bi-metallic coil.
The cooling system uses a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water.
A Fuel Burning Heater (FBH) is available as an optional item for Diesel engine variants. The FBH is located on the
bulkhead and is connected in series in the coolant supply to the heater. The FBH is used to compensate for the
relatively low coolant temperatures inherent in the Diesel engine.
+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Thermostat housing
A plastic thermostat housing is located behind the radiator. The housing has three connections which locate the
radiator bottom hose, top hose and coolant pump feed pipe. The housing contains a wax element thermostat and a
spring loaded by-pass flow valve.
Thermostat - Main valve
The thermostat is used to maintain the coolant at the optimum temperature for efficient combustion and to aid engine
warm-up. The thermostat is closed at temperatures below approximately 82
°C (179°F). When the coolant
temperature reaches approximately 82
°C the thermostat starts to open and is fully open at approximately 96°C
(204
°F). In this condition the full flow of coolant is directed through the radiator.
The thermostat is exposed to 90% hot coolant from the engine on one side and 10% cold coolant returning from the
radiator bottom hose on the other side.
Hot coolant from the engine passes from the by-pass pipe through four sensing holes in the flow valve into a tube
surrounding 90% of the thermostat sensitive area. Cold coolant returning from the radiator, cooled by the ambient air,
conducts through 10% of the thermostat sensitive area.
In cold ambient temperatures, the engine temperature is raised approximately 10
°C (50°F) to compensate for the heat
loss of 10% exposure to the cold coolant returning from the radiator bottom hose.
By-pass flow valve
The by-pass flow valve is held closed by a light spring. It operates to further aid heater warm-up. When the main valve
is closed and the engine speed is below 1500 rev/min, the coolant pump does not produce sufficient flow and pressure
to open the valve. In this condition the valve prevents coolant circulating through the by-pass circuit and forces the
coolant through the heater matrix only. This provides a higher flow of warm coolant through the heater matrix to
improve passenger comfort in cold conditions.
When the engine speed increases above 1500 rev/min the coolant pump produces a greater flow and pressure than
the heater circuit can take. The pressure acts on the flow valve and overcomes the valve spring pressure, opening
the valve and limiting the pressure in the heater circuit. The valve modulates to provide maximum coolant flow through
the heater matrix and yet allowing excess coolant to flow into the by-pass circuit to provide the engines cooling needs
at higher engine rev/min.
COOLING SYSTEM - TD5
26-1-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The coolant pump is attached on the left hand side of the engine, behind the PAS pump. A cast housing, bolted to the
cylinder block provides a common attachment point for both pumps. The housing has galleries which connect the
coolant pump to the cylinder block and the oil cooler housing. The coolant pump comprises a shaft, a housing and a
cover.
The shaft, which passes through the alloy housing, is supported at each end by bearings. Seals at each end of the
shaft protect the bearings from the coolant. The forward end of the shaft has two lugs which engage with the PAS
pump shaft. The opposite end of the shaft is fitted with an impeller which draws coolant from the feed pipe and
circulates it through galleries in the cylinder block. The shaft is driven by the auxiliary drive belt at the same rotational
speed as the crankshaft by a pulley attached to the PAS pump.
The pump is sealed in the cast housing with two 'O' rings. An outer cover is positioned over the pump and secured
with six bolts and sealed to the pump with an 'O' ring. The cover provides the attachment for the feed pipe connecting
hose.

2Fan blades
3Bi-metallic coil
4Body
The viscous fan provides a means of controlling the speed of the fan relative to the operating temperature of the
engine. The fan rotation draws air through the radiator, reducing engine coolant temperatures when the vehicle is
stationary or moving slowly.
The viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine which is driven at crankshaft speed by the
auxiliary drive belt. The fan is secured to the pulley by a nut. The nut is positively attached to the fan spindle which
is supported on bearings in the fan body. The viscous drive comprises a circular drive plate attached to the spindle
and driven from the idler pulley. The drive plate and body have interlocking annular grooves with a small clearance
which provides the drive when silicone fluid enters the fluid chamber. A bi-metallic coil is fitted externally on the
forward face of the body. The coil is connected to and operates a valve in the body. The valve operates on a valve
plate with ports that connect the reservoir to the fluid chamber. The valve plate also has return ports which, when the
valve is closed, scoop fluid from the fluid chamber and push it into the reservoir under centrifugal force.
Silicone fluid is retained in a reservoir at the front of the body. When the engine is off and the fan is stationary, the
silicone fluid level stabilises between the reservoir and the fluid chamber. This will result in the fan operating when the
engine is started, but the drive will be removed quickly after the fan starts rotating and the fan will 'freewheel'.
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.

Pipes and hoses
The coolant circuit comprises flexible hoses and metal formed pipes which direct 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 is fitted
to each cylinder bank in the cylinder block. These are used to drain the block of coolant.

The coolant pump is attached to the front of the cylinder block with nine bolts and sealed between the pump housing
and the cylinder block with a gasket. The pump comprises a shaft which passes through an alloy housing. The outer
end of the shaft has a flange which allows for the attachment of the pump drive pulley which is secured with three
bolts. The drive pulley is driven by the grooved auxiliary drive belt and rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft.
The inner end of the shaft is fitted with an impeller which draws coolant from the thermostat housing and circulates it
through the galleries in the cylinder block and through the heater matrix.
The shaft is supported on bearings in the housing which are packed with grease and sealed for life. A seal is
positioned in the housing to further protect the bearings from the ingress of coolant. The seal is manufactured from a
synthetic material which will allow for expansion of the casing when hot coolant is present.
The cast alloy housing has a hose connection which provides the attachment for the coolant pump feed hose. The
cast housing connects with galleries in the cylinder block and distributes coolant from the pump impeller into the
galleries and water jackets.
