PRESSURE VALVE
The pressure valve acts to seal the pressure inside the radiator until the
difference in pressure from the atmospheric pressure
(Differential pressure acting on the pressure valve) is 0.75kglcm2 even
when the temperature of the cooling water rises.
In this way it prevents the cooling water from boiling or overflowing.
Actuating pressure: 0,75kglcm2 (differential pressure)
VACUUM VALVE
If the internal pressure is sealed, it becomes more difficult for bubbles
to be generated from the finer or for bubbles to be caused
by the churning of the water pump, so this acts
to prevent pitting or corrosion,
If the set pressure of the pressure valve is made higher,
the internal stress on components in the cooling system
will increase, so the set pressure must not be raised too high.
After the engine stops, and the temperature of the cooling water drops,
causing negative pressure inside the cooling system, the pressure valve
acts as a vacuum valve to remove the
internal stress and relieve the negative pressure.
The radiator cap plays an important role, so tell the user to replace
the cap immediately with a new part if it is damaged or stolen.

COROSSION RESISTOR
CORROSION RESISTOR
Correct use of the corrosion resistor will lead to extension
of the machine life and reduction of owning & Operation cost.
Corrosion resistors are installed to Komatsu engines,
These corrosion resistors have an important role, as they act
to increase durability and extend the life of the engine,
liner, and oil cooler. In addition, they also act to
prevent problems such as pitting caused by cavitations.

Paper Element
This acts to collect the dirt and particles of scale
or rust in the coolant. In this way it acts
to prevent them from sticking to the coolant
passages, and protects the water pump seal.

Inhibitor
The solid white chemical dissolves in water and
forms a corrosion prevention film on the surface of
the cylinder liner block. It also makes it more difficult
for scale to stick to the cylinder liner. It disperses
the scale and suspends it in the water, and
discharges it together with the cook ant. If these
chemicals dissolved in water are used for a long time,
or they become diluted because of addition of water
To the coolant, they gradually start to lose their effect.
