Instructor notes
Oil system Priority valve Suction screen Temperature regulators Oil filters Prelubrication Two methods of prelubing Continuous IntermittentLet students make the qiuz (see transparency section). Give them about 5 min. and then show them how the system should look like. Explain lube system and the function of the different
components.
Oil system provides a constant supply of 85 C (185 F) filtered oil at 430 kPa (62.4 psi) pressure.
An oil priority valve regulates oil preesure at the cylinder block oil manifold rather than at the oil pump. This makes the oil manifold pressure independent of oil filter and oil cooler pressure drops.
Oil to the oil pump passes through a 650 micron (0.025 in.) screen located between the suction bell and the suction tube.
Oil temperature regulators direct the oil to coolers at oil temperatures above 85 C ( 185 F).
From the 20 microns (0.78 mils) final filters the oil flows through the priority valve to drilled oil
passages in the cylinder block.
Prelubrication is required for all 3600 engines before each start.
Two methods are available: intermittent and continuous.
Continuous prelubrication occurs in stand-by situations.
Intermittent prelubrication occurs for a short
interval preceding engine start and provides oil to all the engine bearings. A pressure switch and starter interlock prevent starter operation with less than 10 kPa (1.5 psi) lube system pressure.
CHAPTER : Lubrication system
Priority valve
The priority valve senses filtered oil pressure and bypasses or dumps unfiltered oil back to the oil sump to control the engine oil pressure.
Centrifugal filters
The centrifugal oil filters extend the life of the oil filter elements and remove some particles smaller than the oil filters will normally take out.
The centrifugal filters receive 3-4 % of the oil pump flow.
The flow of oil through the jets causes the rotor assembly to rotate at about 4000 rpm.
Oil flow through each filter is 17 L/min. (5.5 gpm) and the dirt capacity is 3.6 kg (8 lbs.).
CHAPTER : Lubrication system
Slides
LEGV0928 - #19
Show slides and explain the functions of the different components of the lube system.
Oil pump - the oil pump is driven approximately 1.5 times engine speed. The components of the pump are the same for both standard and reverse
rotation. An oil pump can not be removed from a standard rotation engine and installed directly to a reverse rotation engine or visa versa. A single dowel pin in the mounting flange prevents the pump from being rotated 1800 degrees and installed.
Oil pump - standrad rotation. Oil pump - reverse rotation. Air operated prelube pump.
Electric prelube pump - pumps can be provided with 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz single phase motor. They also can be equipped with 24 VDC or 60/70 VDC motors. Higher voltage 3 phase motors are available for continuous prelubrication systems. Oil temperature regulators.
Oil filters - (Duplex filters) There are two oil filter housings on all 3600 engines with three replaceable filter elements in each housing. An oil filter change valve allows the filter elements for each filter
housing to be changed separatly while the engine is operating. The maximum change period is 1000 hours or when the oil filter pressure drop reaches 104 kPa (15 psi).

III. AIR INTAKE & EXHAUST
SYSTEM
CHAPTER : Intake & exhaust system
Instructor notes
LEGV0928 - #59
Explain general air flow of the engine and show slides about engine aftercooler.
For optimum engine performance and low fuel consumption, two exhaust manifold designs are used on the 3600 family of engines.
A divided or split exhaust manifold system is
installed on the 3606 and 3612 diesel engines. The turbocharger(s) used with this manifold design has a double entry inlet.
A single larger diameter exhaust manifold design with single inlet into the turbocharger is used with 3608, 3616 and all spark ignited (gas) engines.
In-line aftercooler core - mounted on theleft side of the engine.
In-line cylinder block - with cast-in inlet manifold. Vee engine aftercooler core - mounted above the center of the vee.
Location of vee engine aftercooler & air shutoff. An air shutoff is available for installation at the
aftercooler inlet. The air shutoff is closed only when an overspeed occurs or when an emergency
shutdown is initiated. LEGV0928 - #60

Install the camshaft segments with the groove toward the rear of the engine for reverse (CW) rotation engines.
CHAPTER : Intake & exhaust system
Instructor notes
Camshaft
Talk about camshaft segments and journals. The camshaft is running half the speed of the crankshaft. The camshaft is with the help of push rods and rocker arms activating the air inlet and exhaust valves and the unit injector.
The camshafts in all 3600 engines are segmented. Each cylinder has it’s own segment but all the segments are the same. On Vee engines the
segments in the left side are different than those in the right side.
The segments in the in-line engine will be the same as the segments in the left or rigth of the Vee
engine, depending on whether it is a standard or reverse rotation engine. Therefor there are basically two camshaft part numbers to service both in-line and Vee distillate fuel engines. Heavy fuel engine camshafts may be different.
Camshaft segments installed on diesel engines before mid-1990 have thinner flanges and spacers. The bolts are also smaller.

Instructor notes
Two cooling systems
Caterpillar is providing two cooling systems:
Combined circuit cooling & separate circuit cooling. Temperatures in the two systems are the same. 50 C (122 F) nominal water temperature to the AC and OC (DFE).
32 C (90 F) nominal water temperature to the AC and OC (HFE).
90 C (194 F) nominal jacket water temperature to the cylinder block circuit (DFE).
93 C (199 F) nominal jacket water temperature to the cylinder block circuit (HFE).
85 C (185 F) nominal oil to bearing temperature. Over time, as the performance of the heat
exchanger decreases due to fouling, the water temperature to the AC will increase. At higher ambient conditions, the water to the AC and OC is allowed to rise to 65 C (149 F) for DFE or 38 C (100 F) for HFE maximum before engine deration is required.

combined system
The combined circuit system is also known as the single circuit - two pump system.
The main advantage of the combined circuit system is that it requires only one external cooling circuit with only one heat exchanger or radiator. There is less coolant and cooling system piping can be relatively simple.

CHAPTER : Cooling system
Instructor notes
Makeup line (separate circuit)
The only connection between the AC / OC circuit and the engine jacket water circuit is a makeup line that goes from the expansion tank to the water pump supply line. This line keeps the AC / OC circuit filled when it shares the expansion tank with the jacket water circuit. There is no active flow between the circuits.
The total radiator surface area may be 20 % less at 45 C (110 F) ambient and up to 30 % less at higher ambients, when compared to a combined circuit. Maintains nominal water temperature to the AC and OC while rejecting heat from the cylinder block and heads at higher temperatures.
The total external flow is approximately twice the external flow of the single circuit system. Half of the flow (high temperature circuit) must be cooled to nominal jacket water temperature and the low temperature circuit cooled to nominal AC / OC water temperature.
Advantage separate system

During the injector synchronization the synchronization gauge is touching the trim bolt. As a result the gauge might not be completely straight between the rack and the injector body.
There have been some cases where the service man has grinded a piece out of the gauge to make it fit perfectly. DON’T DO THIS !!
