4.1.1.6. Cooling system

GENERAL INFORMATION

The closed cooling contour with nonfreezing liquid contains a radiator, a broad tank, the pump of cooling liquid, the thermostat and the fan.

Radiator and broad tank

The radiator with a cross stream has tanks from artificial material. The broad tank is made of transparent material and has designations of the maximum and minimum levels of cooling liquid. In the cars equipped with the automatic transmission in the right tank of a radiator the radiator of oil of the automatic transmission is located (type oil - cooling liquid).
Pressure of opening of the valve of elevated pressure in a stopper of a broad tank: 65 – 110 kPa.

Pump of cooling liquid

The centrifugal pump of cooling liquid located on a forward wall of the block of cylinders is put in action by a maple belt together with the generator.

Maple belt

Brand and type: Motorcraft 83 HF 6 C 301 AA.
The tension (measured by special Ford adaptation):

  – new belt: 400 – 500 N;
  – the belt which was in the use: 300 – 400 N.

Deflection: 10 mm in the middle of longer site under pressure of a thumb.

Fan

It is made of artificial material, has seven blades, it is located on a shaft of the pump of cooling liquid and it is put in action by a maple belt together with the pump and the generator.

Thermostat

Wax, is located on the pipeline which is taking away cooling liquid from a head of the block of cylinders of the engine.

Temperature began opening: 85 ° – 89 °C.

Nominal temperature of opening: 88 °C.

Cooling liquid

Quantity: 8 dm3.

Type: mix of special nonfreezing Ford SSM 97 B 9103 A liquid and the distilled water (on 50%) form protection to -30 °C.

Frequency of replacement: each 60 000 km of a run of the car or time in two years.
