Summary o
6、f Test Method3.1 This test method involves the operation of a standardpassenger car engine on a dynamometer stand under constantspeed, load, and coolant temperature conditions for a total of700 h. The performance of the coolant is judged by examina-tion of (1) coolant samples, (2) metal corrosion sp
7、ecimens, and( 3) cooling system components.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a laboratory technique ca-pable of reproducing the complex environmental stresses acoolant encounters under actual engine operating conditions.The test method provides improved discrimination over glass-w
8、are and simulated service tests and improved correlation withfield service. Although the test method is particularly valuablefor developing coolants for increased service requirements, itremains that field testing is necessary to evaluate coolantperformance completely.5. Apparatus5.1 Test Engine The
9、 test engine shall be a volumeproduction passenger car engine of cast iron or aluminumconstruction. Engine speed and brake horsepower should becalculated and adjusted to be equivalent to a 96.5 km/h (60mph) level road load. Aluminum accessories, such as coolantpump and timing chain cover, are option
10、al. The engine shall beequipped with a matching radiator and pressure cap. A coolantoverflow reservoir and closed-system pressure cap are op-tional, except when specified by the manufacturer. Assemblethe test components to provide a complete cooling system. Therelative positioning of the radiator an
11、d engine should duplicate,as closely as practicable, the mounting in the automobile withthe fan omitted. All radiator hose lengths should be held to aminimum. The radiator shall be cooled by forced air.5.2 Instrumentation and Control (See Fig. 1)Run theengine on a test stand coupled to an engine dyn
12、amometer withappropriate accessories for control of the designated operatingconditions. Measure engine coolant temperature out of theengine at a point immediately adjacent to the coolant outlet.Measure manifold vacuum, oil pressure, and exhaust pressureat appropriate points and monitor them througho

Install a pressuregage in the outlet tank of a crossflow radiator or the top tank ofa downflow radiator to read the gage pressure.5.3 Corrosion Measurements:5.3.1 Evaluate corrosion protection using metal specimens.The specimen arrangement sha

Eachspecimen bundle shall be held in a canvas-reinforced phenolictube (see Fig. 3) which, in turn, is contained in a capsule. Usetwo types of specimen capsules: full-flow and bypass. Installthe fu

The full-flowcapsule shall contain three sets of specimens; weigh andreplace one set with a fresh set at 100-h increments, and weight
19、wo sets at the conclusion of the test. The bypass capsule shallcontain three sets of specimens; clean, weigh, and replace thefirst set at 100-h increments. Clean and weigh the second set at400 h.

20、e test.5.3.2 Position the full-flow capsule in the upper radiatorhose at a point below the radiator coolant level.5.3.3 The bypass capsule should be located in close prox-imity to the engine in order to avoid excessive coolanttemperature drop.5.3.4 Equip the bypass capsule with a temperature-measuri
21、ng device to assure that normal flow is being main-tained. (Atemperature drop from normal operating temperatureindicates an obstruction in the bypass circuit.) A mountingbracket attached to the radiator stand is recommended. Mountthe capsule below the radiator coolant level in a verticalposition. Co

Ingeneral, engine speed should be lowered to 1000 rpm at noload, and the temperature and pressure
25、on the cooling systemshould be lowered to a level below the boiling point of thecoolant before approaching the engine. To avoid possibleburns, care should be exercised in venting and opening theradiator pressure cap.6.1.4 Safety Guards Sturdy safety guards must be usedfor the fan belt, pulleys, coup

Preparation of Apparatus7.1 Engine Reconditioning:7.1.1 Check the engine and recondition, if necessary, priorto each test run. For each new engine, prior to a
30、 series of tests,and those engines being reconditioned for further testing,install new cylinder head gaskets; the engine manufacturersrecommendations should be followed regarding the use ofgasket sealing compounds. When no specific recommendationis made by the engine manufacturer, the cylinder head
31、gasketsand other coolant sealing gaskets should be coated with anadhesive sealant. This will ensure against coolant and exhaustgas leakage at some advanced point in the test, possiblyvoiding the test and its results. A new radiator should beinstalled before each test. The cooling system should beche
32、cked for the following common defects: (1) cylinder headgasket leakage resulting in exhaust gas contamination of thecoolant, (2) air induction into the coolant due to a worn coolantpump seal, and (3) defective lower radiator hose connection.Methods of checking for these defects appear in Annex A1.7.
33、1.2 Clean the engine cooling system with a chelator-typecommerical cleaner (seeAnnexA2). Replace all hoses after thecleaning procedure, but before each test.7.2 Installation of Test Specimens and Coolant:7.2.1 Prior to the installation of the coolant, install a newaluminum coolant outlet (if the eng
34、ine is so equipped), alongwith a thermostat fixed in the full open position (see Note). Flatwashers should be used under the coolant outlet-attaching boltheads to minimize damage to the mounting flanges. Install thespecimen-containing capsules at this time.NOTE 1Thermostats of different manufacturer
35、s have different designminimum travel positions. “Full open” would mean the maximum travel.To block a thermostat open, the power element should be drilled andtapped for an adjusting screw, soldered into position and cut off. Neversolder the piston to the piston guide as this may cause damage orannea
36、ling of other thermostat components. To determine maximum travel,measure valve position equivalent to 11C (20F) above stamped openingtemperature; for example, 89C 1 11C 5 100C 192F 120F 5 212F!.7.2.2 Based upon careful measurement of the volume of thesystem, add a measured amount of concentrated coo

(Whenradiator is equipped with an overflow reservoir and closed-system pres
41、sure cap, coolant level should be at the pressure capseat.) Replace radiator cap. Save the drained coolant, and addit to 2-L (2-qt) sample of premixed 40 % test coolant andcorrosive water solution to use as makeup throughout the test.8.

Interpretation and Significance of Results9.1 The test method is intended to provide a more compre-hensive evaluation of coolant performan
45、ce than is obtainablewith glassware and stimulated service tests. Correlation withfield service is generally good for engines of similar design andmaterial, but depends to a significant degree on the investiga-tors ability to interpret test results in relation to field serviceexperience. Field servi
46、ce will inherently impose variations inseverity.9.2 The individual specimen weight loss values have limitedsignificance in terms of absolute corrosion protection withrespect to field service. Instead, they must be compared tobaseline values established with coolants of known fieldservice performance
47、. The comparative weight loss valuesencountered with those specimens that remain undisturbed forthe duration of the test indicate overall corrosion protection bythe test coolant. These specimens should be the most valuableto predict field service performance. The specimens, which arereplaced at pred
48、etermined intervals, and present a clean activesurface, may be used to predict extended coolant performanceas related to inhibitor depletion and formula degradation rate.A change in weight loss pattern may indicate coolant deterio-ration even though the solution characteristics and undisturbedspecim
49、en weight losses indicate a satisfactory condition.9.3 Reserve alkalinity depletion also may be used to evalu-ate coolant service life and performance, provided properprecautions in interpretation are observed. After an initialreduction due to inhibitor reaction on cooling system surfaces,the reserve alkalinity will normally decrease gradually with testhours. Variation from this general pattern is cause for investi-gation.9.4 The clean engine dynamometer test provides coolantevaluation under the duration, heat rejection, and other
