Central Cooling Water System

The central cooling water system is characterised by having only one heat exchanger cooled by seawater, and by the other coolers, including the jacket water cooler, being cooled by central cooling water. In order to prevent too high a scavenge air temperature, the cooling water design temperature in the central cooling water system is normally 36 C, corresponding to a maximum seawater temperature of 32 C. Our recommendation of keeping the cooling water inlet temperature to the main engine scavenge air cooler as low as possible also applies to the central cooling system. This means that the temperature control valve in the central cooling water circuit is to be set to minimum 10 C, whereby the temperature follows the outboard seawater temperature when central cooling water temperature exceeds 10 C. For external pipe connections, we prescribe the following maximum water velocities: Jacket water................................................. 3.0 m/s Central cooling water................................... 3.0 m/s Seawater...................................................... 3.0 m/s

Regarding the lubricating oil coolers, this valve should be adjusted so that the inlet temperature of the cooling water is not below 10 C Air pockets, if any, in the pipe line between the pumps, must be vented to the expansion tank
