Joakim, my coolant is 90 degrees and that is pretty much the maximum I would go to for seawater tank temperature any way. In regards to the...
Frosty, It is not that I want to be impossible, but it is the main reason why I was focusing on utilizing the existing coolant circulation circuit...
I think you will have a problem as soon as the whole system reaches maximum temperatures and the water will not be cooled any more because the...

Good to know! Unfortunately they are not, it is a steel boat and the diesel tank is part of the bottom structure of the vessel for optimum weight...
I will, but I will start with the circulation water and will add the exhaust heat storage later to make it two independent systems. How would you...
1/3 th of the diesels energy is usually used for mechanical energy, however, industrial slow running diesels get as far as 50% mechanical...
I'm not sure how the cooling is divided over exhaust and cooling system. based on the assumption that a kg of diesel gives 11.7 kWh of energy and...
@Milehog. I will make some calculations to see what I can expect from the different options and heating which liquid. @WestvanHan, That is...
