2. Function
The cooling water pump supplies cooling water, through the supply pipe (18) on the
exhaust side, to the cylinders. The cooling water flows through the cylinder liner (9),
water guide jacket (10), cylinder cover (11) and exhaust valve cage (12). When the
vent unit (1) and ball valve (2) are open, the system continuously vents.
Note: If problems occur, see the instruction plate on the vent unit (1).
The water flows from the outlet pipe (17) to the cooler and back to the pump. A
throttle (13) is installed in the outlet pipe of each cylinder. The throttle controls the flow
rate of cooling water through the cylinder. The adjustable throttle (6), installed in the
inlet pipe (19), controls the pressure in the system.
The butterfly valve (7) and ball valve (8) are used to isolate the cylinders from the
cooling water system. The ball valve (8) is used to drain the water from isolated
cylinders and the system.
If it is necessary to remove only the cylinder cover, the ball valve (8) must stay closed.
You open the ball valve (5), to let the cooling water flow out through the drain
pipe (21).
