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.
The jacket cooling system is a closed circuit. Water passing
from the engine returns through a cooler to the circulating
pump and then to the engine. A header or expansion tank
is placed at a sufficient height to allow the venting and
water make-up in the system. This has connection from the
engine discharge and to the pump suction line. A heater 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 pump draws from the supply
(or drain) tank 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 and inspection tank. A steam coil is fitted in
the piston cooling water supply tank for preparing the
engine for sea.

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 than that of the salt
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 water treatment.
Both jacket and piston cooling systems must have
alarms fitted to give warning of loss in pressure, high or
low tank level or, in some cases, excess of temperature.
On most engines the fresh water and sea water pumps
are both of the centrifugal type. They may be engine
driven or they may be separately driven by
electricmotors.
