FRESH WATER COOLING SYSTEM
Diaram „HEAT BALANCE DIAGRAM” from ”A4” manual is attached
Description – Fresh water cooling system is a closed system for machinery cooling
in which fresh water is circulated and cooled down by sea water. This system is
divided is LOW temperature & HIGH temperature circuits.
Central coolers – are plate type coolers. In which fresh water pressure must be
higher than sea water presure, to prevent leak of sea water in side of wresh water
system, in case of bad sealing betwen plates.
LOW Temperature circuit – Is circuit with temperature ~ 36 °C (after central
cooler). To maintain specific temperature „3-way” control valve is used, it
controls flow amount that is passing throught central coolers. On diagram we can
see which machinery is cooled by LT circuit: M/E LO cooler, M/E AIR cooler, Drain
cooler, G/E LO & Air coolers, Main Air compressors, and etc. Central cooling fresh
water pumps (No.1 or No.2) are circulating water in this circuit.
HIGH Temperature circuit – Is more complicated than LT circuit. It is divided in
two separate circuits, one for M/E Jacket, another one for G/E Jacket. Outlet
temperature for M/E Jacket must be ~ 80 °C, for G/E Jacket ~ 84 °C.
Temparatures are controled by „3-way” control valves, by adding or reducing
amount of cool water from LT circuit. Each G/E has attached pump for jacket
water. For M/E Jacket water circulation 2 Jacket cooling fresh water pupms are
instaled. M/E Jacket can be cooled down aditionaly by FWG’s Evaparator or can
be heated with steam heat exchanger.
