Note: An aftercooler that circulates fresh water or treated water may require cleaning less often than
an aftercooler which circulates salt water. The maintenance interval for an aftercooler which
circulates fresh water or treated water should be evaluated when the aftercooler is cleaned and tested
after the first 1000 hours of engine operation. The interval will vary depending on operating
conditions.
1. Turn the aftercooler core on one side in order to remove debris. Remove the debris that is
accessible.
NOTICE
Caterpillar recommends the use of Hydrosolv liquid cleaner. Table 1 lists Hydrosolv liquid
cleaners that are available from your Cat dealer.

3. Steam clean the core in order to remove any residue. Flush the fins of the aftercooler core.
Remove any other trapped debris from the inside and from the outside of the core.
Note: Do not use high pressure when the fins are cleaned. High pressure can damage the fins.
5. Flush the core thoroughly in order to remove residue and remaining debris. Flush the core with
clean, fresh water until the water that is exiting the core is clear and free of debris.
6. Dry the core with compressed air. Direct the air in the reverse direction of the normal flow.
2. Inspect the core for damage and perform a pressure test in order to detect leaks. Many shops
that service radiators are equipped to perform pressure tests.

3. Plug both ends of the aftercooler core and pressurize the core to 205 kPa (30 psi). Submerge the
core in water. Look for bubbles which are being emitted from the core. The bubbles are
evidence of leaks.
Install a core that is clean and a core that passes the pressure test in step 3. Refer to the Disassembly
and Assembly Manual, "Aftercooler - Install" for the procedure.
For more information on cleaning the core, consult your Cat dealer.
