Operation

In cooling water systems, control is performed by measuring and monitoring cooling water levels, temperature, pressures and water flow. This can be done by on-site monitoring of water level gauges, temperature pressure gauges and monitoring of water flow through control goggles (if provided and installed). In some cases, the readings for these parameters are displayed in remote monitoring tools such as CMS Control Monitoring System or IAS Integrated Automation System windows.
In a high-temperature circuit cooling system, an alarm may be provided between the deaerator and the expansion tank to activate the alarm if excess air or gas is discharged through it. This alarm indicates a fault in the main engine, such as a cracked cylinder sleeve.
In a low temperature circuit cooling system, a cooling water monitoring unit and its bypass can be installed after the diesel fuel coolers. This monitoring unit is designed to detect traces of fuel in the cooling water and trigger an alarm when detected.
