What type of cooling medium flows through the injection nozzle cooler?

The injection nozzle cooler uses jacket water, the engine’s cooling system coolant. Jacket water circulates through passages around the engine and injector area, absorbing heat from the hot nozzle and carrying it away to the radiator. This keeps the nozzle at a stable, safe temperature, preventing fuel overheating, vaporization, or carbon buildup that could affect injection quality. Air would’t remove heat efficiently from such a confined space, oil is intended mainly for lubrication rather than primary cooling, and steam isn’t part of the standard engine cooling circuit. So jacket water is the appropriate cooling medium.
