COOLING-WATER SYSTEM FOR MAIN AND AUXILIARY DIESEL ENGINES

The design of a central cooling system for a containership propelled by a 8000 kW four-stroke main engine, and with two 600 kW diesel-generator sets, is described in detail together with the necessary calculations. There is one central heat exchanger, divided into two equal halves for ease of maintenance. The heat exchanger has scoop circulation, and relies on natural circulation when the ship is not moving, so that the energy required for driving seawater circulating pumps is saved. Also only one set of freshwater circulating pumps is installed for the entire freshwater system; three pumps, each of 50% full-power capacity, will provide adequate reserves.
