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. This document applies to engine coolant concentrates for heavy-duty engine requirements. SAE J1034 applies to coolant concentrates for automobile and light truck applications. For further information on engine coolants, see SAE J814.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides test methods and criteria for evaluating the internal cleanliness and air leakage for engine charge air coolers. This SAE Recommended Practice also provides nomenclature and terminology in common use for engine charge air coolers, related charge air cooling system components, and charge air cooling system operational performance parameters.

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.

The purpose of this SAE Information Report is to provide an overview of special requirements and practices in fuel cell vehicle thermal management. This document is primarily directed to fuel cell applications in motor vehicles.

All materials classified as nylons share certain basic characteristics. However, even within the seemingly limited realm of glass fiber reinforced nylons, many levels and combinations of physical, thermal, and environmental resistance properties are available. These properties result from such factors as the following: 1 Type of nylon (6, 6/6, 6/10, 6/12, etc.) 2 Percentage (by weight) of glass fibers 3 Diameter and length of glass fibers 4 Wetting agent used to promote adhesion between resin and fibers (if present) 5 Heat stabilizer (if present) 6 Impact modifier (if present) 7 Pigmentation (if present) In order to select a material with appropriate characteristics, the prospective manufacturer and end user should investigate the proposed application thoroughly, and maintain open communication with the various material suppliers.

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 Recommended Practice is applicable to all heat exchangers used in vehicle and industrial cooling systems. This document outlines the tests to determine the heat transfer performance under specified conditions.

This recommended practice is applicable to all liquid-to-gas, liquid-to-liquid, gas-to-gas, and gas-to-liquid heat exchangers used in vehicle and industrial cooling systems. This document outlines the tests to determine durability characteristics of the heat exchanger under pressure cycling.

This SAE recommended practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the performance of light-duty automotive electric engine cooling fan assemblies. These Electric Cooling Fan (ECF) assemblies are purchased by light-duty truck and passenger car OEMs from suppliers. They are purchased as complete assemblies, consisting mainly of the fan(s), motor(s), and shroud (see Figure 1); this Recommended Practice will only consider such complete assemblies. Some purchased assemblies using brush-type motors may also include digital control devices such as power resistors or pulse width modulation (PWM) electronics or local interconnect network (LIN) for speed control. In the case of brushless motor technology, the controller is an integral part of the motor where it also performs the commutation process electronically. The performance measurement would include fan output in terms of airflow and pressure, and fan input electric power in terms of voltage and current.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to all liquid-to-gas, liquid-to-liquid, gas-to-gas, and gas-to-liquid heat exchangers used in vehicle and industrial cooling systems. This document outlines the test to determine durability characteristics of the heat exchanger from vibration-induced loading.
