COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Westerbeke marine diesel engines are designed and equipped for fresh water cooling. Heat produced in the engine by com- bustion and friction is transferred to fresh water coolant which circulates throughout the engine. This circulating fresh water coolant cools the engine block; its internal moving parts, and the engine oil.
