Flushing engine coolant circuits
Drain engine coolant.
Measure pH-value of the fresh w ater (MTU test kit or electric pH-value measuring device).
Fill coolant circuit with fresh water.
• Never pour cold water into a hot engine!
Preheat, start and run engine until warm.
Run engine for approx. 30 m inutes at increased speed.
Take flush-water sample (engine-coolant-sample extraction cock).
Shut down engine and drain flush water.
Measure pH-value of the flush-water sample (MTU test kit or electric pH-value measuring device).
If pH-value after flushing is only slightly above pH-value of fresh water, (pH-value difference < 1):
Fill system with treated coolant and start engine.
If pH-value after flushing is still significantly above pH-value of fresh water, (pH-value difference > 1):
Fill system with fresh flush water and repeat flushing process.
IfthepH-valueafter4or5flushing sequences is still significantly above pH-value of
fresh water, (pH-value difference > 1):
Clean coolant system and, if necessary, the components also.
For further information, see Operating Instructions for engine in question.
