Turbochargers operate
at high temperatures. The Cool Down Timer is designed to keep the engine
running when the ignition is turned off to prevent turbocharger bearing
failure that could occur when the engine is shut down, stopping the cool
lubricating oil flowing to the turbocharger while it is still hot. If the oil
flow is shut off too early, the remaingin oil in the bearing housing will
overheat causing coking of the bearings which causes both premature bearing
wear and reduced oiling of the bearings. Allowing the engine to idle to a
minimum operating speed gives the turbocharger time to cool down. The CDT
works with any K-Type EGT probe commonly found in most pyrometer gauge kits.
