MAN B&W Diesel A/S 6.07 Central Cooling Water System

S26MC Project Guide

Letters refer to List of flanges Fig. 6.07.01: Central cooling system

178 15 02-6.2

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 the freshwater low temperature (FW-LT) system. In order to prevent too high a scavenge air temperature, the cooling water design temperature in the FW-LT 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 FW-LT circuit is to be set to minimum 10 C, whereby the temperature follows the

outboard seawater temperature when this exceeds 10 C. For further information about common cooling water system for main engines and MAN B&W Holeby auxiliary engines please refer to our publication: P.281 Uni-concept Auxiliary Systems for Twostroke Main Engine and Four-stroke Auxiliary Engines.

The heat dissipation and the SW flow figures are based on MCR output at tropical conditions, i.e. a SW temperature of 32 C and an ambient air temperature of 45 C. Overload running at tropical conditions will slightly increase the temperature level in the cooling system, and will also slightly influence the engine performance.

Central cooling water thermostatic valve (4 45 660) The low temperature cooling system is to be equipped with a three-way valve, mounted as a mixing valve, which by-passes all or part of the fresh water around the central cooler. The sensor is to be located at the outlet pipe from the thermostatic valve and is set so as to keep a temperature level of minimum 10 C.
