Raw water is drawn in through the inlet of the auxiliary water pump. The raw water is forced out of the pump, through the elbow and into the lower left side of the heat exchanger. The raw water flows through the heat exchanger and exits through the elbow on the top right side of the heat exchanger. The raw water is discharged through a tube on the right side of the engine. The discharge tube is available with a single outlet or a dual outlet.

The coolant leaves the heat exchanger through the elbow on the lower right of the heat exchanger. The coolant then enters the jacket water pump. The flow of the coolant splits. Part of the coolant flows through a tube, into the aftercooler and into the rear of the cylinder block. The other part of the coolant flows through the oil cooler and the coolant splits again. Part of the coolant goes into the right turbocharger. Part of the coolant goes into the lower rear of the cylinder block.
Some of the coolant that flows through the left side of the block exits the block on the left side. This coolant flows to the left side turbocharger. Coolant also flows through the block to the cylinder heads. The coolant flows out of the rear of the cylinder heads to the elbow at the base of each turbocharger. The flow from both turbochargers exits through tubes on the top of each turbocharger. The coolant flows to the elbows at the base of each turbocharger. The coolant flows to the exhaust risers. This flow continues from the exhaust risers through the exhaust manifolds and into the cylinder heads. The coolant joins the other coolant within the cylinder heads. The coolant flows from the cylinder heads to the deaerators. This coolant combines with other coolant and the coolant returns to the upper left side of the heat exchanger.
Coolant Conditioner
Some conditions of operation can cause pitting on the outer surface of the cylinder liners and on the cylinder block surface next to the liners. This pitting is caused by corrosion or by cavitation erosion. A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical that provides a reduction in pitting. The addition of a corrosion inhibitor can keep this type of damage to a minimum.
The coolant conditioner element is a spin-on element that is similar to a fuel filter and to oil filter elements. The coolant conditioner element attaches to the coolant conditioner base that is mounted on the engine or on a remote location. Coolant flows through lines from the water pump to the base and back to the block. There is a constant flow of coolant through the element.
The element has a specific amount of inhibitor for acceptable cooling system protection. As the coolant flows through the element, the corrosion inhibitor goes into the solution. The corrosion inhibitor is a dry solution, so the inhibitor dissolves. The corrosion inhibitor then mixes to the correct concentration. Two basic types of elements are used for the cooling system. There is a precharge conditioner element and a maintenance conditioner element. Each type of element has a specific use. The elements must be used correctly in order to get the necessary concentration for cooling system protection. The elements also contain a filter. The elements should remain in the system so that the coolant will flow through the filter.
The precharge conditioner element contains more than the normal amount of inhibitor. The precharge conditioner element is used when a system is first filled with new coolant. This element must add enough inhibitor in order to bring the complete cooling system up to the correct concentration.
The maintenance elements have a normal amount of inhibitor. The maintenance elements are installed at the first change interval. A sufficient amount of inhibitor is provided by the maintenance elements in order to maintain the corrosion protection at an acceptable level. After the first change interval, only maintenance elements are installed. In order to provide the cooling system with protection, maintenance elements are installed at specific intervals.
