Water pumps, radiators, thermostats and manifolds are affected.Oxygen in the cooling system reacts with metal parts.Not many people are aware of it, but corrosion is not a question of age corrosion can start to attack an engine as early as 2,000 hours or 400,000 km. More and more engine manufacturers are using aluminium to reduce weight in cooling systems.īut there is a price for weight reduction – aluminium is the most sensitive material in the system, and corrosion is its biggest problem. Regular cooling system maintenance is vital to keeping an engine running properly.
Research has shown that 40% of all engine problems in heavy-duty diesel engines are related, directly or indirectly, to improper cooling system maintenance. The regular and proper maintenance of an engine’s cooling system is usually considered to be of minor importance – potentially an extremely costly mistake. The main focus during most service visits is on air, lube and fuel filtration. This excess heat production is clearly one reason why correct coolant maintenance is the key to reducing operating costs, minimizing engine downtime and ensuring better reliability and durability from engines and cooling systems alike.Įvery fleet owner knows how important regular service intervals are for an engine. Only one-third of the 2,000 ☌ is, in fact, converted into mechanical energy. The heat must be dissipated or the engine can’t operates at its maximum potential. This excess heat production is clearly one reason why correct coolant maintenance is the key to reducing operating costs, minimizing engine downtime and ensuring better reliability and durability from engines and cooling systems alike. The heat must be dissipated or the engine can’t operate at its maximum potential. This would easily be enough to melt the engine. If not properly cooled, the temperature of a heavy-duty diesel engine can reach up to 2,000 ☌, It has excellent radiator solder protection and superior liner pitting protection.ĮS Compleat™ antifreeze coolants meet or exceed the performance requirements of the following specifications, and meet the low silicate limits of GM6038M antifreeze formulation requirements: ES Compleat, if properly managed, can be kept in the coolant system for the life of the machine and only has to be checked twice a year.ĮS Compleat contains silicate which is the best form of protection against aluminium and strong acid buffering, resulting in less corrosive environment and risk of solids drop out. Fleetguard released a new product 5 years ago which is called ES Compleat CC2826 which has followed the trend in the market for the need of extended services.
