Description and Purpose
Exhaust gases are expelled through the exhaust
manifold to the turbocharger. The gases are
then expelled by the turbocharger through the
muffler exhaust pipes and rain cap. Engine
noise is reduced by passing exhaust through the
muffler and rain is kept out by the rain cap.
Provides the interface between the diesel engine
and the water pump. The pump rotating assembly
contains the impeller shaft of the pump which is
supported by a single, self-lubricated,
permanently sealed, ball bearing. The impeller
shaft drives the impeller which causes the pump
to transfer water.
Used to support and transport the pumping
assembly.
Provides filtered air to the turbocharger at
a t m o s p h e r i c p r e s s u r e.
Provides protection to the diesel engine from
rain, snow, and blowing debris.
Stores diesel fuel; used to power diesel engine
operation.
Tie down points are used to secure the pump
assembly to transportation vehicles. The sling
load points are hard points used for sling
operations.
Divides engine coolant through many small thin
walled tubes, which have air drawn across them
by a fan, to lower engine temperature.
