OUTLOOK OF IMPROVING OF SHIP DIESEL ENGINE’S COOLING SYSTEM
The article is devoted to main directions of modernization of cooling system of ship diesel engines. The necessity of this modernization is conditioned by increase of heat loading on parts of cylinder-piston group in consequence of forcing of diesel engines and growth of reliability and ecological requirement for ship’s power plant. In the article such directions of modernization as high temperature cooling, improving of automatic regulation of cooling parameters, connected control of cooling and supercharging parameters and correction of cooling liquid’s properties are offered and argued. Totality of action, which is necessary for modernization is determined. In the article schemes of perspective cooling systems for ship diesel engines and design of it’s elements were presented. The principles of function for these systems are described. Results of theoretical and experimental investigations and exploitation test confirms that modernization of cooling system of ship diesel engines on offered directions will provide increase of economical, reliability and ecological indexes of ship’s power plant.
