The Cooling System<br />
Most cooling systems are made as central cooling systems, which means that there<br />
is only one or two bigger plate heat exchangers equipped with titanium plates.<br />
Titanium is the only material that can withstand the aggressive seawater without<br />
corrosion damages on the plates in the heat exchanger. This means that the central<br />
cooler can operate without problems using seawater as the cooling media <strong>for</strong> the<br />
internal freshwater cooling system.<br />
The advantage of a central cooler is that the use of the corrosive seawater is limited<br />
to one or two plate heat exchangers, and thereby the use of exotic material <strong>for</strong> the<br />
plate heat exchanger and the seawater pipeline is limited to a minimum, which will<br />
reduce the corrosion damage in the cooling system.<br />
The rest of the plate heat exchangers is normally equipped with stainless steel<br />
plates there is no corrosion risk as the heat exchangers work with freshwater.<br />
