JACKET WATER COOLING SYSTEM
DRAWING FS 435
DESCRIPTION
The jacket water cooling system is of the Closed Circuit Type
employing soft water circulated at a high rate through the engine block,
then through tubular type heat exchangers, where it is cooled and then
returned to the engine.

1.

The jacket water cooling system consists of built-in soft
and raw water pumps, surge tank, heat exchangers, regulators,

thermometers, gauges, valves and piping.
Having performed its engine cooling functions, the
soft water leaves the engine and ie circulated through the
cooling water heat exchanger where its heat is absorbed by
the cool raw water.

A bypass with an automatic temperature

regulator (V-16) is provided with the heat exchanger, so
that the temperature of the soft water may be regulated.
The raw water pump draws water from the salt water
system and discharges it through the lubricating oil
cooler and the soft water heat exchanger and discharges
to the drain trench.
The cooling water return from the engine to cooler goes

through a thermostatic regulator valve V-16 and part is
diverted as feed water to the heat exchanger silencer
system which consists of a Maxim silencer heat exchanger,
feed water regulator, gauges, auxiliary electric heater,
