Seawater Systems

The water cooling can be arranged in several con-
figurations, the most simple system choices being
seawater and central cooling water system:
•
A seawater cooling system and a jacket cool-
ing water system
• The advantages of the seawater cooling system
are mainly related to first cost, viz:
• Only two sets of cooling water pumps (seawater
and jacket water)
• Simple installation with few piping systems.
Whereas the disadvantages are:
• Seawater to all coolers and thereby higher
maintenance cost
• Expensive seawater piping of noncorrosive ma-
terials such as galvanised steel pipes or CuNi
pipes.
