The objective of this glossary is to establish uniform definitions of parts and terminology for engine cooling systems. Components included are all those through which engine coolant is circulated: water pump, engine oil cooler, transmission and other coolant-oil coolers, charge air coolers, core engine, thermostat, radiator, external coolant tanks, and lines connecting them.

This SAE Standard documents standard nomenclature in common use for various types of radiator and radiator core construction, as well as for various radiator-related accessories.

This SAE Information Report is a source of information concerning the basic properties of engine coolants which are satisfactory for use in internal combustion engines. Engine coolant concentrate (antifreeze) must provide adequate corrosion protection, lower the freezing point, and raise the boiling point of the engine coolant. For additional information on engine coolants see ASTM D 3306 and ASTM D 4985.

This document supersedes SAE J819 - Engine Cooling System Field Test. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish a testing procedure to determine the performance capability of engine cooling systems, including charge air coolers, on heavy-duty vehicles with liquid-cooled internal combustion engines. The definition of heavy vehicles for this document includes, but is not limited to, on- and off-highway trucks, cranes, drill rigs, construction, forestry and agricultural machines. Vehicles equipped with side or rear-mounted radiators may require an alternate procedure of a towing dynamometer because of peculiar aerodynamics. Testing is generally conducted to determine compliance with cooling criteria established by the engine manufacturer or the end product user to meet a desired engine reliability goal.

This SAE Standard was developed primarily for passenger car and truck application, but may be used in marine, industrial, and similar applications.

This SAE Information Report is applicable to all engine cooling systems used in heavy-duty vehicles, industrial applications, and automotive applications

Three levels of fan structural analysis are included in this practice: 1 Initial Structural Integrity 2 In-vehicle Testing 3 Durability Test Methods The Initial Structural Integrity section describes analytical and test methods used to predict potential resonance and, therefore, possible fatigue accumulation. The In-vehicle (or machine) section enumerates the general procedure used to conduct a fan strain gage test. Various considerations that may affect the outcome of strain gage data have been described for the user of this procedure to adapt/discard depending on the particular application. The Durability Test Methods section describes the detailed test procedures that may be used depending on type of fan, equipment availability, and end objective. Each of the previous levels builds upon information derived from the previous level. Engineering judgment is required as to the applicability of each level to a different vehicle environment or a new fan design.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to oil-to-air and oil-to-water oil coolers installed on mobile or stationary equipment and provides a glossary of oil cooler nomenclature. Such oil coolers may be used for the purpose of cooling automatic transmission fluid, hydraulic system oil, retarder system fluid, etc. This document outlines the methods of procuring the test data to determine the operating characteristics of the oil cooling system and the interpretation of the results.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to Electric Drive Cooling Fan Assemblies used in Light Duty vehicle cooling systems (typically, passenger cars and light duty trucks). This document outlines the Electric Drive Cooling Fan Motor Mounting interface characteristics such that a common standard is possible.

The following topics are included in this report: Section 2—References Section 3—Definitions Section 4—Material Selection Section 5—Production Considerations Section 6—Initial Structural Integrity Section 7—In-Vehicle Testing Section 8—Laboratory Testing The Material Selection section lists environmental factors and material properties which should be considered when determining appropriate fan material(s) for a given application. The Production Considerations section covers various aspects of machine selection, mold design, and process control. The Initial Structural Integrity section lists factors which should be considered in addition to those covered by the same section of SAE J1390. The In-Vehicle Testing section lists factors which should be considered in addition to those covered by the same section of SAE J1390.

This SAE Standard applies to all self-propelled construction and industrial machines using liquid-cooled internal combustion engines.

This SAE Recommended Practice specifies requirements for pressure relief means and pressure relief rating identification for cooling systems of liquid-cooled engines to reduce the possibility of injuries during opening of the cooling system.

This SAE Standard documents standard nomenclature in common use for various types of radiator and radiator core construction, as well as for various radiator-related accessories.

The technique outlined in this SAE Recommended Practice was developed as part of an overall program for determining and evaluating fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks and buses, but it is applicable to off highway vehicles as well. It is recommended that the specific operating conditions be carefully reviewed on the basis of actual installation data. Cooling requirements are affected by all heat exchangers that are cooled by the fan drive system. These may include radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, oil coolers, and others. Because of the variation in size, shape, configuration, and mountings available in cooling fans and fan drive systems, specific test devices have not been included. Using known power/speed relationships for a given fan, this procedure can be used to calculate the fan drive system’s power consumption for engine cooling systems using fixed ratio, speed modulating, and on/off fan drives.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to oil-to-water oil coolers installed on mobile or stationary equipment. Such oil coolers may be used for the purpose of cooling automatic transmission fluid, hydraulic system oil, retarder system fluid, etc. This document outlines the methods of procuring the test data to determine the operating characteristics of the oil cooling system and the interpretation of the results. For information regarding application testing of oil-to-air oil coolers for heat transfer performance, see SAE J1468.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to engine coolant concentrate, low silicate ethylene glycol base, for use in cooling systems of heavy-duty engines. An initial charge of supplemental coolant additive (SCA) is required when using this type of coolant concentrate.
