exists between the outlet and the face
of the radiator, and arrange so that hot
air cannot re-enter.
NOTE
Engine exhaust outlets should not
be placed adjacent to either intake
air or outlet air louver openings.
17-44. The 500 KW radiator assembly may be mounted
separately from the generator set. The horizontal and
vertical displacement of the radiator from the engine's
centerline
will
determine
the
additional
system
components necessary for the installation. Since
particular installation requirements will vary, it is
advisable to contact the Cognizant Authority regarding
remote radiator system requirements. Figures 17-10
through 17-12 illustrate deaerating and auxiliary tank
piping. Figure 17-13 illustrates a simple remote radiator
installation, with an electric motor driven fan used as a
heat exchanger for engine coolant. The radiator is
mounted so that the radiator top tank is the highest point
in the water system, preventing air pockets which could
cause stoppage of coolant flow and consequent engine
overheating. The top tanks of the radiators used on the
500 KW generator set are of oversized design and in the
application shown act as a surge tank. A filler neck and
pressure cap are supplied to allow for coolant filling and
pressurized system operation. Air can be-vented from
the system by means of a float-type trap which allows
the escape of air, but not allow water to escape. The air
escape trap should have a pipe extending down into the
