Introduction
Although there is an abundance of free sea water available, marine diesel engines do not use it directly to keep the hottest parts of the engine cool.
This is because of the corrosion which would be caused in the cooling water spaces, and the salts which would be deposited on the cooling surfaces interfering with the heat flow.

Instead, the water circulated around the engine is fresh water which is then itself cooled using sea water. This fresh water is treated with chemicals to keep it slightly alkaline ( to prevent corrosion) and to prevent scale formation. Of course, if distilled water, which some ships can make from sea water using evaporators, is used then there is a reduced risk of scale formation. Fresh Water Cooling System

Fresh Water Generator
The concept of a freshwater generator is simple; sea water is evaporated using a heat source, separating pure water from salt, sediment and other elements.
Freshwater
generators often use the diesel engine jacket as a heat source, although steam can also be used as a heat source. Because freshwater generators often use existing heat to run, the cost of operation is low.

A water cooling system is divided into two separate systems: one for cooling the cylinder jackets, cylinder heads and turbo-blowers; the other for piston cooling.

Jacket Cooling System
The cylinder jacket cooling water after leaving the engine passes to a sea-water-circulated cooler and then into the jacket-water circulating pumps.
It is then pumped around the cylinder jackets, cylinder heads and turboblowers.

The jacket cooling system is a closed circuit.
Water passing from the engine returns through a cooler to the circulating pump and then to the engine. A header or expansion tank is placed at a sufficient height to allow the venting and water make-up in the system. This has connection from the engine discharge and to the pump suction line. A heater is included with by-pass to warm the

    The Waterhouse project was an inquiry that looked at children’s abuse within children’s homes in 1996 that was opened by the welsh secretary. It all started when Sir Ronald Waterhouse who was a retired high court judge opened a tribunal of enquiry into child abuse in North Wales in 1974. It was a huge abuse scandal and took evidence from 575 witnesses, including 259 complainants alleging abuse when they were in care. Over 9500 social services files were made available and over 3500 police statements were scrutinized. There were well over 40 000 pages of evidence of complaints for just 40 homes and foster placements.…

    Normally used for power operations, the reactor coolant pumps can be also used for decay heat removal at slower speeds or different coolant pump combinations. In an intensive emergency situation where coolant exits the system, known as a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), emergency measures must be enacted to provide a source of makeup water to the core to provide adequate cooling. This emergency cooling is provided for by the ECCS which is comprised of four subsystems; the Gravity Driven Cooling System (GDCS), Isolation Condenser System (ICS), Standby Liquid Cooling System (SLCS), and the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS). The later is technically a part of the Nuclear Boiling System (NBS).…

    All the systems talked about previous are governed by several different bodies; either state or private, to ensure the organisation runs in an effective and ethical manner. To begin with, seqwater is a statutory authority with a board of directors that provides effective governance to ensure long-term success (seqwater, 2013). Although seqwater is privately governed, the company still must adhere to government codes and policies. Seqwater does this by regularly communicating with the Minister for Energy and Water Supply (seqwater, 2013). Not only does the board have to follow to government standards, seqwater also has their own set of ethics and regulations they have to abide by (seqwater, 2013).…

    Module 5 drew upon the needs and desires of people in society. The module explored who, if anyone, would be responsible for meeting the wants of the human population. Currently, water is a crucial natural resource for people everywhere. However, our water supply is decreasing due to many factors. In exploring this dilemma module 5 raises questions such as Who will be entitled to water when supplies become scarce? In the text, Facing the Fresh Water Crisis, Rodgers claimed that the exponential water consumption will eventually degrade all ecosystems on Earth. In response to the question raised by module 5 Rodgers argued that current technologies can avert a water war between societies. He takes a preventive…

    LOS ANGELES - California is closely watching the crisis at a Japanese nuclear plant, but officials downplayed the threat that a radioactive cloud blown across the Pacific could pose for the US West Coast. While radioactivity could reach the United States from the quake-hit Fukushima plant, the levels would not be high enough to cause major health problems, said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).…
