40005446 Freshwater Cooling Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta freshwater cooling kit listed for the 4.3GXiE-M, 4.3GXi-J, 5.0GXiE-M, 5.0GXi-J, 5.7Gi-300-J, 5.7GXiE-300-M, 5.7GXiE-M and 5.7GXi-J. It weighs 20.412 kg and covers 63 applications. The kit converts a seawater cooled engine to a closed, indirect circuit in which treated coolant passes through the engine and sheds its heat to raw water in a heat exchanger. Freshwater cooling brings domestic hot water and onboard heating within reach, permits all-year running because the coolant carries anti-freeze and anti-corrosion agents, reduces engine wear through higher running temperatures and extends engine life through better corrosion protection.

🚤 Compatibility

🔌 Function

Converts the engine to a closed freshwater circuit, so treated coolant runs through the engine and raw water only passes through the heat exchanger.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Overheating after conversion from air trapped in the new circuit
• Coolant loss or weeping at a new hose or housing joint
• Coolant discoloured or oily, pointing to a failed heat exchanger core
• Raw water side furring or blocking, with reduced discharge at the outlet

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 20.4 kg this is a bulky boxed kit, so allow for freight and unpack against the parts list before starting
• The near-identical kit 40005807 suits the 4.3GL-J and 5.0GL-J, so order by engine designation and not by weight
• Fill with the specified coolant mix and bleed the system thoroughly before running up under load
• Should the engine need to be fully de-commissioned, the coolant channels can simply be filled with inhibitors

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
