Fresh Water Systems Heat Exchanger and Keel Cooled systems.
Fresh water-cooling systems, also known as closed cooling systems, has several varieties. The most common type uses a Heat Exchanger which functions similarly to the radiator in your car.
Coolant (antifreeze) is circulated through one side of heat exchanger, and it is cooled by raw water passing through the other side of the heat exchanger.
The engine coolant circulated back into the engine and the raw water expelled out of the boat through the exhaust. Another common type of closed cooling systems is known as a Keel Cooler.
This is done by eliminating the heat exchanger. Instead of pumping raw water into the vessel’s heat exchanger cooling the coolant, the coolant is pumped through pipes or aluminum extrusions outside the hull where the surrounding water (lake, river or sea water) cools the coolant before it is pumped back into the engine.
The use of keel coolers removes the need for a heat exchanger, raw water pump and the other components necessary for pumping raw water into the heat exchanger.
- Emissions: EPA Tier 2, IMO, and RCD certified
- Breather System: Open or closed.
- Engine Updates: Optional dry run SW pump and an alternate fuel capability (JP8, JP5)
- Heat Exchanger and Marine Cooling Systems. Marine engines, as well as automotive engines, cooled by circulating water through the engine block. Marine engines are specific with two different types of cooling systems, standard raw water system and the freshwater cooling system (commonly known as closed system).
Cummins 5.9 Marine Diesel Engine Specifications
Today the 5.9 has an aluminum intake manifold and high-strength aluminum pistons that are gallery cooled. The larger surface area of the gallery can remove more heat from the critical combustion chamber area and top-ring groove without allowing increased emissions. And, of course, it is EPA Tier II compliant. as well as being IMO and RCD certified. The 5.9 has 24 valves. Cummins 5.9 Marine Diesel Engine Specifications.
Transmissions can also be quoted and are available from ZF, Twin Disc and Borg Warner. Please specify if unit being used for Commercial or Pleasure and reduction required.
There are many reasons to choose Cummins Marine Power. Like toughness and dependability, fuel efficiency and performance. Service, parts and technical assistance at ports of call around the world.
Cummins success in the marine market began right at the start. The first successful engine they ever designed was for boats, and they didn’t stop there. In fact, more than half of the company’s total engine production between 1919 and 1934 was built for marine applications.
Today, Cummins Marine powers gill netters and ferries…yachts and tugboats…fishing boats, fire boats, seiners and crew boats all over the world.
