    Mitsubishi Diesel Engine Technical Information: Quality of Water Used As Engine Coolant

    Uploaded by

    Moniru islam
    The document discusses coolant specifications for diesel engine water. It provides two tables: 1) recommended limits for coolant chemical properties to prevent corrosion and scale formation, and 2) undesirable coolant quality factors and their effects, such as high pH levels being corrosive and high conductivity promoting corrosion and scale. The specifications are similar to preexisting standard LESR 3003 from 1985. The document emphasizes the importance of controlling chemical properties in coolant water that may not be visible but can damage the engine cooling system.

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION DATE December, 1998

    Quality of water used as engine coolant

    1. The water in service coolant in diesel engine may appear, under visual observation, normal but such
    appearance is no insurance that it will not foul up the cooling system. This is because water can contain
    may substances, which are not visible but are harmful to the cooling circuit of the engine. Here lies the
    reason why the harmful chemical properties and substances need to be identified and their limits of
    tolerance be specified.
    2. Coolant specifications are tabulated in Table 1.
    3. Undesirable coolant quality factors and their effects are shown in Table 2.
    4. The specifications (Table 1) are not different in substance from the LESR 3003 Standard-1985.

    No. Item Symbol Unit Explanatory note Corrosion Scale
    and rust formation
    The pH scale (from 0 to 14) refers to
    the concentration of hydrogen ions in
    aqueous solutions. The solution is
    1 pH (25°C) — — neutral if its pH is 7. The pH of 7 is ⃝ ⃝
    dividing point between acidic
    (corrosive to metals) and basic (scale
    forming) property. In pure water, the
    pH is 6 to 8.
    High conductivity of solution means
    Electrical that it contains large amounts of
    2 conductivity — µ /cm electrolytic ions and undissolved solid, ⃝ ⃝
    (25°C) and that it tends to attack metals and
    also to promote scale formation.
    Amounts of Ca and Mg ions in the
    3 Total hardness CaCO3 PPM solution are expressed in PPM as — ⃝
    equivalents of calcium carbonate
    (CaCO3). Hard water produces scale.
    The alkali contents (hydroxides,
    carbonates and bicarbonates) are repre-
    4 M alkalinity CaCO3 PPM sented by this term. Their amounts are — ⃝
    expressed in PPM as CaCO3. Scale
    formation is often caused by high M
    alkalinity.
    A high Cl concentration makes the
    - solution very corrosive. For example,
    5 Chlorine ion Cl PPM tap water in Japan has chlorine in an ⃝ —
    amount of 10 to 40 PPM.
    A high SO 2-
    4 concentration attacks
    copper and copper alloys. If the
    6 Sulfuric acid SO 4
    2-
    PPM solution contains Ca, SO2 reacts with ⃝ —
    ion
    Ca2+ to form CaSO4, a substance that
    readily gives rise to scale.
    Fe in the solution in excess of 3.0 PPM
    7 Total iron Fe PPM settles out and turns to coloring deposit. — ⃝
    A high Fe concentration contributes to
    scale development.
    Silica combines with Ca and Mg to
    8 Silica SiO2 PPM produce very hard scale. Water — ⃝
    moderately hard does not present this
    problem.
    Undissolved solids, contributory to
    conductivity of the solution as stated
    Residue from above, remain as solid residue when the
    9 — PPM solution is evaporated. The higher this — ⃝
    evaporation PPM value, the stronger is the scale
    forming tendency (and also the corro-
    siveness) of the solution.
