Water cooling system

 The water cooling system for a slow speed diesel engine consists of

two separate circuits

: one for cooling the cylinder jackets, cylinder heads and turboblowers; the other for piston cooling. A separate piston cooling system is used to prevent any possibility of

contamination

from piston cooling glands.

Water cooling system

 The

jacket cooling system

is a closed circuit. Water passing from the engine returns through a

cooler

to the

circulating pump expansion tank

and then to the engine. A header or is placed at a sufficient height to allow the venting and connection from the engine discharge and to the pump suction line. A

water make-up heater

in the system. This has is included with by-pass to warm the engine prior to starting by circulating hot water.

 Water enters at the lower end of the jackets, passing up to the cylinder covers and then to the exhaust valve cages, if these are fitted. Some water is taken from the discharge and passed through the turbo-charger turbine cooling spaces, before returning to the main discharge.

 The

piston cooling system supply (or drain) tank

pump draws from the passing water to the piston

cooler

and then to the engine piston

distribution manifold

. The return from these flows by gravity to the

supply tank

. Arrangements may also be included for the return of any leakage from the glands. This must first pass through an

oil separator

for preparing the engine for sea.

and

inspection tank

. A steam coil is fitted in the piston cooling water supply tank

 All

fresh water coolers

are circulated with the salt (or raw) water and have by-pass valve fitted.

Thermostatic valves

are provided to regulate the flow of either the fresh water or sea water and so control the temperature of water passing through the engine.

Fresh water pressure

should always be

greater

water to prevent any possibility of salt water entering the engine system. To reduce the corrosive action and inhibit the formation of scale deposit in the system it is usual to provide some form of than that of the salt
