Coolant Capacities

To maintain the cooling system, the total cooling system capacity must be determined. The total cooling system capacity will vary between individual installations. The total cooling system capacity equals the capacity of the jacket water circuit plus the aftercooler circuit plus the external system capacity. The external system capacity includes the following components: expansion tank, heat exchanger, radiator, and piping. Refer to the specifications that are provided by Caterpillar or by the OEM of the equipment. Record the total cooling system capacity in the following Table:
