[0020] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete and to fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Identical reference numerals in the figures denote identical or similar structures, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0021] The words expressing positions and directions described in this utility model are all explained with reference to the accompanying drawings as examples, but they can be changed as needed, and all such changes are included in the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3A cooling system for a diesel engine includes: an intercooler 1 and a plate heat exchanger 2.

[0023] The intercooler 1 includes an air heating pipe 11 and a water cooling pipe 12 for heat exchange. Water is pumped into the input end of the water cooling pipe 12. This water cools the compressed air before entering the engine through the air heating pipe 11 and then discharges it from the output end. The exchange of air and water temperatures between the air heating pipe 11 and the water cooling pipe 12 within the intercooler 1 improves heat exchange efficiency during operation. This simplifies the overall air cooling structure, eliminates the need for a fan, and reduces installation steps.

[0024] The plate heat exchanger 2 comprises a first pipe 21 and a second pipe 22. The first pipe 21 receives water discharged from the output end of the water-cooling pipe 12 and exchanges heat with the engine coolant in the second pipe 22, cooling the coolant before returning it to the engine. The first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22 are spaced apart flow paths within the plate heat exchanger 2. During operation, seawater is transported through the first pipe 21 into the plate heat exchanger 2, where it exchanges heat with the coolant in the second pipe 22. Using seawater to enter the cooling system not only reduces cooling speed but also simplifies the structure of the intercooler 1 and plate heat exchanger 2, minimizing space and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, heat exchange efficiency is significantly improved.

[0025] In one embodiment, a support frame 3 is further included. The support frame 3 has a base and a connecting frame 31 connected to the base. The plate heat exchanger 2 is connected to the base, and the intercooler 1 is connected to the support frame 3. The support frame 3 can be a metal structure. During installation, the metal structure support frame 3 can stably support the main body.

[0026] In one embodiment, there are two intercoolers 1, the input ends of the two intercoolers 1 being connected via a tee, with the output ends being located on either side of the two intercoolers 1. The intercoolers 1 are arranged in parallel, and seawater can be fed through a single tee pipe, where it is then divided into two branches and fed into the intercoolers 1. Heat is then exchanged with compressed high-pressure air within the intercoolers 1, achieving high heat exchange efficiency and ensuring efficient heat exchange.

[0027] In one embodiment, the input end of the intercooler 1 is connected to a third connecting pipe, and the output end of the intercooler 1 is connected to a fourth connecting pipe. Both the third and fourth connecting pipes are tee pipes. Both the input and output pipes are tee pipes, which provide high heat transfer efficiency both when inputting seawater and after outputting seawater from the intercooler 1.

[0028] In one embodiment, a compression pump 6 is further included, connected to the first pipeline 21 via a pipeline, and is used to pump the coolant into the plate heat exchanger 2. The compression pump 6 can increase the pressure of the coolant by boosting the pressure, so that the coolant can circulate between the plate heat exchanger 2 and the coolant pipeline of the engine. After the heat exchange, the seawater with a slightly increased temperature continues to cool, and the seawater pumped in once can be reused multiple times, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the seawater.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the utility model without departing from the principles and purpose of the utility model. All of these changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
