Load Dependent Cylinder Liner (LDCL) Cooling Water System

Purpose
Under very low engine load the temperature in the cylinder becomes relatively low and
this causes the sulphur from the fuel oil to condensate on the cylinder liner wall which
will cause corrosion.

The purpose of the LDCL cooling water system is to raise the temperature on the
cylinder liner wall to prevent the condensation of the sulphur. Raising the temperature
of the cylinder liner wall is done by raising the jacket cooling water temperature at low
load. This will cause the cylinder liner wall to have a higher temperature and thus, the
condensation of sulphur will be reduced.

The LDCL cooling water system differs from the normal system by having a circulation
circuit of cooling water over the cylinder liners. The circulation is driven by an engine
installed circulation pump to ensure a high flow over the liners. This pump is operative
during the entire engine load spectrum i.e. 0% → 100% engine load.

The circulation circuit is cooled by removing hot water from the circuit and adding cold,
corresponding to the heat release of the cylinder liner and the temperature set point in
the control system.

In case of failure in the system, the circulation pump will stop and the engine installed 3-
way mixing valve will move to fail safe position which is full open 3(B) – 1(AB). In this
position, the full flow of cooling water from the ship is sent through the liners and the
cooling water temperature will be controlled by the ships cooling water supply.

Figure 1: Schematic of the LDCL cooling water system

Control
The Cooling Water Control Unit (CWCU) measures inlet and outlet temperatures, inlet
and outlet pressures for the circulation pump and the actual engine load.

Based on these inputs, the 3-way mixing valve is moved to a position where the
temperature of the circulating cooling water matches the inlet and outlet temperatures
defined by the systems parameters (refer to figure Figure 2: Expected cooling water
temperature vs. engine load).

In addition, the CWCU will order an inlet temperature from the ships cooling water system,
which again is defined by the systems parameters (indicated in Figure 2).

In case of a sensor failure or if the circulation pump starter cabinet is put in Local
Control, an alarm will be raised, and the system returns to fail safe state.

User interface
The stand-alone implementation of the CWCU has a single common alarm output for
the ships alarm system and a local status indication.

The status indication consists of 3 lamps and 2 buttons:

Alarm: A red light indicates an active alarm.

The circulation pump is stopped and the high temperature circulation is
inoperative. Action required to find and correct the problem.

Un-acknowledged alarm: An alarm has occurred but the alarm condition is no

longer present. Action required to acknowledge the alarm by pressing the blue
button to re-activate the system.

System OK: No alarms, and the system is operative.

Please note that acknowledging an un-acknowledged alarm will start the

circulation pump if no other alarms are active!
