Diesel Engine Coolant and Galvanic and Electrolytic Corrosion
We have explained before the importance of understanding diesel engine coolant and how it affects the overall cooling system in heavy-duty equipment. We’ve also explored how maintaining a healthy cooling system can help prevent costly problems like cylinder lining pitting and cavitation or the buildup of scale deposits. But there’s much more to know about […]
How Scale and Deposits Harm Cooling Systems
There is a lot to consider when maintaining a diesel engine cooling system. Even if every precaution is taken, some harmful substances are bound to accumulate over time. Like normal wear-and-tear on the engine, cooling systems experience the natural buildup of scale and deposits as a byproduct of the coolant needed for the system to […]
How Thermostats Help Your Diesel Engine
The purpose of a diesel engine cooling system is pretty obvious: to keep the engine cool and prevent overheating. However, there is more to the system than simply keeping engine temperatures as low as possible all the time. In fact, there are some times when the amount of coolant liquid flowing through to the radiator […]

What to Know About Diesel Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your heavy-duty diesel equipment is as important as any other component. An overheated engine not only makes your equipment unusable, it can cause permanent damage and is a safety hazard for operators. One part of the cooling system that is often underappreciated or misunderstood is the coolant. Engine coolant is a […]
When to Recore Your Aluminum Cooler
The core is the most important part of your industrial cooler. It is the large metal block between inlet and outlet tanks where the actual cooling process happens. The array of tubes and fins that make up a cooler or radiator core is key to keeping your HD equipment safe and running cool. As an […]
