What should I do if my cat 320 overheats?
What should I do if my cat 320 overheats?
There are rubber and foam strips that will control airflow to move the air to the right places, some will be attached to the hood maybe and can fall off – overlook none of them because they can cause trouble. Hopefully coolant is no more than 50% glycol, don’t overlook this as too high a concentration can result in overheating.
Why is my cat excavator engine overheating?
Over relief or in compound operations, the engine will lug down (droop) to a specified speed, Cat should have checked this to ensure that the hydraulic system is absorbing as much as the HP and torque as the engine is designed to produce in that excavator. If the engine pulls down towards stall, it may be trying to overload the engine.
What happens when a hydraulic exchanger is overheating?
Relating this to a system with a continuous input power of 100 kW, the exchanger is dissipating 26 percent of input power. If the system is overheating, this means that the efficiency of the system has fallen below 74 percent. Where there is a pressure drop, heat is generated.
How can I tell if my cat heater is overheating?
There should be a distinct difference in temp between the coolant going in and the coolant being recirculated back into the engine at the bottom hose – Cat can tell you what the differential should be. Check the routing of the heater hoses and bypasses to ensure that they are routed and connected properly.
What happens if oil is not Analy-SIS on caterpillar machine?
Corrosive damage, piston deposits and increased oil consumption can also result. If oil analy- sis is not done or the results are ignored, the potential for corrosive damage and piston deposits increases. Refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for guidance.
Relating this to a system with a continuous input power of 100 kW, the exchanger is dissipating 26 percent of input power. If the system is overheating, this means that the efficiency of the system has fallen below 74 percent. Where there is a pressure drop, heat is generated.
What kind of oil do you put in a Caterpillar engine?
Refer to the applicable Operation and Maintenance Manual for standard oil drain periods and to the Maintenance Section, “Lubricant Specifications” of this publication for engine oil type and viscosity grade recommendations.
How much heat is dissipating from an oil exchanger?
For example, if the measured temperature drop across the exchanger is 4ºC and the design oil flow-rate is 90 L/min, the exchanger is dissipating 10 kW of heat. Relating this to a system with a continuous input power of 100 kW, the exchanger is dissipating 10 percent of input power.
