There is more to the cooling system than just the jacket water radiator. Consideration must be given to the heat generated by the torque converter, hydraulic system, turbo-charger, lube oil cooler, and the air conditioning. Total heat load, water pump flow, fan performance, deaeration, and drawdown requirements dictate further considerations. Reasonable preliminary evaluation of these significant aspects of a cooling system can save manufacturing costs as well as operating costs, while effectively prolonging the life of the machine. A simple check list can save both time and money.
