3.2 Function of water pump
The water pump circulates the coolant through the
system.
(1) Bearing unit
(2) Pump body
(3) Mechanical seal
(4) Impeller
If the pump fails to circulate the coolant, heat is not
removed from the engine and overheating damage may
occur. KUBOTA engines use a centrifugal type, and is
driven by the crankshaft via a fan belt. It consists of a
pump body (2), impeller (4), mechanical seal (3) and
bearing unit (1).
3.3 Function of radiator
The radiator is where heat in the coolant is released to
the atmosphere.
(1) Cooling air
(2) Tube
(3) Fin
The radiator core consists of water carrying tubes (2)
and fins (3) at a right angle to the tubes. KUBOTA
engines use corrugated fin type core which has a right
weight and high heat transfer rate. Radiators are
usually made of copper or brass. Recently, however,
aluminum-made radiators are introduced for their light
weight.
3.4 Function of radiator cap
The radiator cap keeps coolant from boiling out or
evaporating.
(1) Overflow tube
(2) Pressure valve
(3) Vacuum valve
(A) Pressure valve open
(B) Vacuum valve open
The pressure system permits operating the engine at a
higher temperature without boiling the coolant or losing
it by evaporation. The radiator cap consists of a
pressure valve (2), vacuum valve (3), valve springs,
gasket, and has two functions.
(A) Pressure valve open
The pressure valve (2) in the cap permits the escape of
coolant or steam when the pressure reaches a certain
point (88 kPa, 0.90 kgf/cm
2
, 13 psi).
(B) Vacuum valve open
The vacuum valve (3) in the cap opens to prevent a
vacuum in the cooling system.
