In a Diesel engine
the pistons and the cylinders
must be cooled by coolants.

 COOLING THE PISTON
The piston rod is hollow.
When the piston goes
up and down,
the coolant (oil)
enters through the piston
rod bore and leaves
through the
inside return line.

COOLING THE PISTON
The piston is cooled by oil.
The advantages of oil as
a coolant are:
. it reduces noise;
. it purifies;
. it forms a seal;
. it lubricates;
. it is anti-corrosive;
. it has a higher resistance
to heat.
COOLING THE CYLINDER
The cylinder is cooled by
injecting the
coolant between the
cylinder liner and
the cylinder jacket.
The most common coolant
is fresh water.

 COOLING THE COOLANTS

The cooling medium

must be cooled by sea
water, which is led
into the ship
A
through sea-chests (A).

 HEAT EXCHANGERS

In a heat exchanger the
