Aftercooler Coolant Temperature

Usage:

3512B 2AF
Note: The following information concerns engines with separate circuit aftercooling. For engines with jacket water aftercooling, monitoring of the aftercooler coolant temperature is disabled. However, the jacket water coolant temperature is monitored for all engines.

The ECM will automatically perform the following functions when high aftercooler coolant temperature occurs:

  • Warning

  • Derating

  • Shutdown

The default settings that are programmed at the factory are listed in Table 1.

Table 1
Aftercooler Coolant Temperature 
Parameter  Default Setting 
Warning setpoint  102 °C (215 °F) 
Warning delay  5 seconds 
Derate setpoint  107 °C (225 °F) 
Derate delay  5 seconds 
Maximum time of derating  480 seconds 
Hysteresis  3 °C (5.4 °F) 
Security level  No required password 
Maximum derating  25% 
Shutdown setpoint  107 °C (225 °F) 
Shutdown delay  5 seconds 

If the aftercooler coolant temperature is above 102 °C (215 °F) for five seconds, a warning will occur. To deactivate the warning, the aftercooler coolant temperature must be below 99 °C (210 °F).

If the aftercooler coolant temperature is above 107 °C (225 °F) for five seconds, a derating will occur. The continuous schedule of the derating will reach 25 percent in 480 seconds.

When the aftercooler coolant temperature is less than 104 °C (220 °F), the percent of the derating is decreased until full power is restored. However, if the aftercooler coolant temperature rises above the setpoint again, the derating resumes.

If the aftercooler coolant temperature is above 107 °C (225 °F) for five seconds, a shutdown will occur.

Note: The default settings result in a shutdown that occurs before a derating. These settings are programmed because most customers prefer a shutdown for the aftercooler coolant temperature. The settings can be reprogrammed to different values.
