3. Cooling system
3.1 Overview of cooling system
The cooling system cools the engine while it operates to prevent overheating and keep a proper operating
temperature. KUBOTA engines are used pressurized forced-circulation type. This system consists of a radiator (1),
water pump (2), cooling fan (3), thermostat (4) and coolant temperature sensor (some models). The coolant is cooled
through the radiator core, and the fan set behind the radiator pulls cooling air through the core to improve cooling.
When the coolant in the engine is at a low temperature, the thermostat valve is closed so that the coolant is circulated
in the engine through the bypass pipe. When the temperature of the coolant becomes the valve opening temperature
of the thermostat (4), the thermostat (4) opens the valve to return the heated coolant to the radiator (1). The water
pump (2) circulates the cooled coolant into the cylinder block (6) and draws out the hot coolant through the cylinder
head (5). Some engines employ the bottom bypass system to improve the cooling performance of radiator and the
three step valve opening type thermostat to reduce thermal shock radically.
