Preheating of diesel engine
Preheating during standstill periods
During short stays in port (i.e. less than 45 days),
it is recommended that the engine is kept pre-
heated, the purpose being to prevent temperature
variation in the engine structure and correspond-
ing variation in thermal expansions and possible
leakages.
The jacket cooling water outlet temperature should
be kept as high as possible and should – before
starting up – be increased to at least 50 °C, either
by means of cooling water from the auxiliary en-
gines, or by means of a builtin preheater in the
jacket cooling water system, or a combination.
