The Swedish truck manufacturer says in a news release its agreement with mining company Brønnøy Kalk AS is its first commercial solution involving autonomous trucks.

  The FH-model trucks travel 3 miles (5 km) through tunnels and outdoors from the mine to a…

Volvo Engine Maintenance Contents for Different Period

Before Daily Start

1, check engine oil: oil level should be between the top and bottom of the oil gauge. Oil quality: VDS or CF or above.

2, check the coolant level, the level should be about 5cm under the sealing surface of the cap.

3. Check the radiator and TAD chiller chips for blocking and, if necessary, clean them up (see serial number 11 of this table)

4. Check if the air filter is blocked.…

Cooling System Maintenance – Volvo Engine

Cooling System

The engine’s internal cooling system makes sure the engine works at the right temperature. It is a closed system that must always be filled with a mixture of concentrated coolant and water in order to protect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation and bursting due to freezing. Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be used all year round. This also applies in…

Engine Cooling Tests – Volvo Diesel Generator

Cooling capacity

A cooling system installation’s cooling capacity is often measured using a reference temperature for coolant boiling point called ATB (Air To Boil). The ATB temperature is defined as the ambient temperature at which the coolant attains its maximum permissible coolant temperature. AOT (Air On Temperature) refers to the maximum permissible coolant temperature after the Volvo engin…

How to Install Volvo Diesel Engine – Genset

Cooling system

Volvo Penta only uses liquid-cooled engines. The cooling system comprises a cooling water system and a cooling air system. The objective of the system is to lead heat from the engine to the surrounding atmosphere. Around 40 % of fuel energy is used to perform mechanical work, while the rest is lost as heat to the coolant and through the exhaust. The heat that is transferred to the…
