Cooling Water System

·         Fresh water generator produces freshwater from seawater.

·         Fresh water is circulated around the engine via cooling water pump to remove heat from cylinder liners, cylinder heads and exhaust valves.

·         Temperature of cooling is controlled by a 3-way control valve and outlet temperature is maintained at around 78-82°C.

·         A heater is used to maintain the hot cooling water when engine is not running to prevent the engine from experiencing thermal stress or to allow the water temperature to rise to a specific level before starting.
