5.3.2 Components of Cooling System (Raw water)
Raw water intake
The diagram shows the supply pipes for the
generator. The connection neck for the seawa-
ter connection is shown on the left hand side.
The cross-section of the intake pipe should be
nominally larger than the generator connec-
tion.

Raw Water Impeller Pump
The raw water pump is fitted with a rubber
impeller. This pump is self-inductive. If,
for example, you forget to open the sea
valve, then you must expect the impeller
to be destroyed after a short period of
time. It is recommended to store several
impellers on board as spare parts.

Heat Exchanger
Separates the raw water system from the
fresh water system, so that the generator
components do not have contact with the
raw water circulation system. The raw
water is fed direct to the exhaust
connection piece at the heat exchanger
outlet.
