Red soils develop in a warm‚ temperate‚ wet climate under deciduous forests and have thin organic and mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on red layer made of iron oxide(ferric oxide). Red soils generally form from iron-rich sediments. They are usually poor growing soils‚ low in nutrients and humus and difficult to cultivate. These soils are developed on old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions. They are deficient in phosphoric acid‚ organic matter

After passing through the engine‚ where it removes the heat from the cylinder liners‚ cylinder heads‚ exhaust valves and sometimes the turbochargers‚ it is cooled by seawater and then returns to the engine. The temperature of the cooling water is closely controlled using a three way control valve. A fresh water generator (FWG) which is used to produce fresh water from sea water is also incorporated Pumps Pumps
