Dan,

Just a dumb question about marine installations...

For a water cooled engine, why _not_ keep the radiator?


Richard

Some instances I have heard of do keep a "radiator", but it usually is a
water to water heat exchanger. Seems it was a big commercial rig. It has
the advantage of not having salt water running through the engine.
Disadvantages are more complexity, and more to fail. You have to have a
pump to move that seawater to the exchanger, too.
