The cooling system removes surplus heat and holds the engine within a controlled temperature band, protecting it from the rapid damage that overheating causes. This group covers radiators and cores, water pumps, thermostats and housings, header tanks, oil coolers, fans and fan drives, hoses and clamps, and temperature senders. Perkins generating sets are frequently installed in enclosures or plant rooms where airflow is restricted, making ventilation as important as the cooling system itself. Standby sets also depend on block heaters to keep the engine warm between runs, and a failed heater usually goes unnoticed until a cold start reveals long cranking and delayed load acceptance.

Restricted airflow in the enclosure or plant room is a common cause independent of the cooling system. Check ventilation and recirculation of hot air as well as the radiator.
It keeps the engine warm so it starts quickly and accepts load promptly, and greatly reduces the wear associated with cold starting.
Follow the interval for the coolant type specified. Degraded coolant loses corrosion protection well before it looks unfit.
