Design Data for the External Cooling Water System

B 13 00 0 L21/31

General
This data sheet contains data regarding the necessary information for dimensioning of auxiliary machinery in the external cooling water system for the L21/31 type engine(s).The stated data are for one engine only and are specified at MCR. The cooling water inlet pipe line has the function as preheating line during standstill.

Expansion Tank
To provide against volume changes in the closed jacket water cooling system, caused by changes in temperature or leakage, an expansion tank must be installed. As the expansion tank also provides a certain suction head for the fresh water pump to prevent cavitation, the lowest water level in the tank should be minimum 5 m above the center line of the crankshaft. Minimum recommended tank volume: 0.1 m. For multi plants the tank volume should be min.: V = 0.1 + ( exp. vol. per extra eng.) [m] As the LT system is vented to the HT system, both systems must be connected to the same expansion tank.

Note: make sure that this pipe line always is open for this function.
For heat dissipation and pump capacities see D 10 05 0 "List of Capacities". Set points and operating levels for temperature and pressure are stated in B 19 00 0 "Operating Data and Set points".

External Pipe Velocities

For external pipe connections we prescribe the following maximum water velocities: Fresh water : 3.0 m/s

Data for External Preheating System

The capacity of the external preheater should be 2.53.0 kW/cyl. The flow through the engine should for each cylinder be approx. 4.0 l/min with flow from top and downwards and 25 l/min with flow from bottom and upwards. See also table 1 below.

Pressure Drop
The engines have an attached pump for both LT and HT cooling water. The external pressure shall be < 1.0 bar.
