Yanmar 3GM raw water cooled?
"Jonathan" wrote in message ... Thanks Glen, I'll check that out. The point here is weight saving, so he hopes to be rid of the exchanger tank, the additional pump, etc. As the engine is used for battery charging, we will need to install a loop to recycle heated water through the engine, as the raw water in the Southern Ocean would cause the engine to run a little too cool How practical is it to redesign the cooling system against the cost and the few pounds of weight. Ok, we have a large budget so cost not a factor, but would the weight gain be that great as you are tossing out a recalculating system that works well in cold waters to replace it with another system of almost the same type to do the same thing. I realize that weight or the lack of in a ULDB is critical, but IMHO, I don't think this is a good solution. Leanne |
